For someone who doesn't follow freeshards closely, but is curious, can you elaborate?

While playing the original IPY, Az grew infatuated with some girl who I sometimes played with and took to literally following her around using GM commands to spawn crap. At some point he gave her a recall rune to fire island(iirc), which at the time was closed off. When I got tired of it, I made a large pile of copies, started passing them out, and was of course promptly banned.

I assume my experience was far from unique.

It's just a small guild between us called Dungeon Crew. You're welcome to join if you want, it's a super casual guild more than anything.

Busy weekend. An event, a new dungeon and elections are taking place. Any goons running for king?

Server has 1.3k active clients, at 3 per IP and assuming every nerd is maxed out, that's still a good bit of active users. I'll bite.

As an affluent straight white male I know quite a bit second hand what it's like to be incredibly poor and oppressed.
I so don't want to make a character again for the 15th time on a new server. Why can't they just be sensible and give people a unique IP skill gain bonus to their first character made so I can make a character in two days instead of wanting to throttle myself killing harpies for like a full week.

Why not just make it so any kind of damage auto dismounts you and you enter a cooldown for mounting again?

For one, griefers would force dismounts and then murder peoples mounts and run away, just to grief people.

For two it can be easily used to gain zerg advantage over players. If its a 10v3 fight, 5 player can chase the 3 on foot causing minor damage, while the other 5 run down their timers and then rush up on horses and sync attack on the helpless 3 people running on foot.

I've just been killing poo poo with my provo archer to get my gains. It feels quite a bit slower than UO Forever but it's still a good time. Anyone around? Wanna meet up and auto-attack some poo poo together?

UO was all about griefing for me so I see nothing wrong with this.

I hate you guys. I've been playing I uof since the initial cancellation of ipy3. Now I see all the goons I played with on past shards starting here ugh!

How is this server so far? I haven't started up yet since it seems like the Goons aren't as active on this as UOF.

Only a few people in the whole universe can play it, and they're not very good at it.
Ugh. I can get behind the no-mounts thing, but the lack of skill synergies (like LJ, inscription, poisoning, etc) is what gets me. Why take away the diversity? I just have no motivation to play this shard because I don't want to run around in a group of all tank mages, despite the fact that everything else about the server seems great.

Anyone still playing this? I've been lazily macroing, almost have my stealth mage complete.

Looks like this shard is dying/dead. If any of you guys still want to play we have a pretty good group over on UOF.

Is this server dead dead or just no goons in it?

I've got some guys in UOF, but horse PvP is just too boring for me to stick with it; seems all I do is chase after people on horse for screens at a time.

You could just join up with the rest of us on UOF we have like 10+ people.
