We were paid 5mil to join a PVE alliance to protect them... I think maybe its time for GS just to join EQMS -- I honestly had no idea you guys still played, how many of you are there?

Suffer not the lobbyist to live.
I play casually, mostly on my thief and tamer. I rarely see anyone else on in Gs. I'm not sure who has the account that has the GM character on it anymore either..or the library and vendor houses, for that matter.

I think just a couple of us. GS probably got kicked from the alliance when it had to be rebuilt.

Is there a way to use Kingdom Reborn client or something similar to the look? I wanted to do something 3D but Iris2 is dead.

The best graphics you're gonna get are if you use the Sallos client.

Why would you ever want to use a 3D client for UO. 3rd dawn was a horrible abortion that should never have happened.

The sprites are great and they represent a rare form of fantasy aesthetic with old fashioned houses and essentially it looks like english/european countryside everywhere

As lovely as 8x8 was for macroing, it really breathed life into the game by way of adding pirates.

Would anyone be opposed to recreating the thread as very little in the OP is still valid(except for my pic)?

Also sticking the new thread in the main games section -- UO on a freeshard isnt your typical MMO, your character is done grinding in 1 day and then its just PVP.

The original thread I had made was in the regular games (I think) there was a big outcry because Games is a public forum, whereas MMO is private and you have to be registered to view.

I honestly don't care either way.

You probably should, I'm about to hop back into UO and I almost went to the first page to read the OP... now I'll just keep reading the thread backwards until it seems no longer relevant :D

Yea -- all of the stuff in the OP is outdated as gently caress and irrelevant to what goons are doing on UO now(which is creating mass amounts of pubbie tears).

There's a new server that seems a bit interesting. I'll just post their shard info

quote:

UO Revealed is a classic Renaissance Era shard with Total Enhanced Client support. The virtue system is completed (including Humility and Spirituality) with 8 Virtue Champions based on the Companions of the Avatar from the original series.

Archeage-inspired tradepacks are another staple. These are crafted tradepacks that need to be run from one town to another with no recalls or moongates. The rewards for delivering tradepacks change to reflect demand/supply.

700 skill cap. 225 Stat Cap. Felucca Only.

Thing that interests me is that Enhanced Client support. Launches next week.

What it isn't
No pay to Win

No Over-Development
Why it's Different
Archeage Inspired Trade Packs
Polished Virtue System (all 8 Virtues)

I think you need to create a new thread first.

That being said, I think will struggle if we do put it in actual games section. Lots more postings happening in there, and this thread may get buried pretty quickly.

The only one worth playing is UOForever -- any other one will have at most 100 people which means never seeing another person to kill.

So I was playing on that UO Revealed server with the new client and wow, I never want to go back. Seems just as capable as legacy clients but has some nice quality of life improvements that make the game much more accessible, even to 1990s vets. Legacy is just a bitch to run on higher-end hardware given the 1080p limitation. Not to mention the art style is vastly improved, so from now on, Enhanced Client is a must for whatever shards I visit.

Why do people hate Enhanced Client? Is it just nostalgia?
