I totally forgot that I backed this in 2014 (tried the Alpha and then stopped). I wonder if I still get that Baby Dragon Familiar like I was promised?

ill probably try this out since they finally updated their roadmap

http://www.legendsofaria.com/the-updated-road-map-is-here/

seems like its a pretty reasonable timeline, so the open beta will start July-ish probably

Open beta is some time in June? Guess we'll find out soon enough.

Got this email back from a Dev when I asked for a couple of keys to share. I couldn't run a guild but maybe one of you guys wants to give it a shot:


Sanya Weathers posted:

Do you think you could rustle up enough people to form a guild? Those keys are for three weeks, not one, to give you time to hopefully build a bit of a reputation and maybe a guild house, and the only catch is the leader has to send feedback for the whole guild to me once a week.

I'm happy to give you a few single keys to hand out, of course, but I thought I'd present the option. I think Goonswarm is planning on giving us a try, so there might be some familiar faces to fight ;)


You can email at sweathers at citadelstudios.net

She used to be a guide for EQ, made a big rant about it back in the day, then got hired by Mythic to be their CR person. I thought she left the industry but nope, still truckin' along.

I emailed her on behalf of EQMS/UO goons but havent heard back yet... no idea if this game will be legit or not but having played UO for 20 years, its probably worth checking out.

Of all the upcoming MMO's this is one of those I have high hopes for to entertain ME thanks to the custom rulesets and all.
The other two i'm banking on are CU (just for the RvR) and perhaps maybe Crowfall due to the short nature of the servers.

So if you have a spare key, i'd love to be part of the swarm.

The thread title should really be updated given its now Legends of Aria.

I've been playing on the Legends of Ultima shard for some time now, and it's really good. They've done a lot to make it feel just like classic UO. I'd be up for making a goon guild on this server if anyone else is interested? I'm already in DoW there, they're an anti-pk guild and could probably do with some more reds to fight with.

I understand they're currently working on introducing poisoning now that magic resistance finally seems to be working as intended.

They have already made the original UO britannia map but this cannot be loaded onto the server until a week before steam release.

For anyone sitting on the edge, buying the game early will give you access now and you will get a steam key on release, as well as a one week headstart before steam. Legends of Ultima do not plan on any further wipes before release (though obviously not guaranteed). If a wipe is necessary, they are planning on giving you fresh house deeds and skill balls to bring back your progress.

Would if I could but I can't. Need a mod to do it. Legends of Ultima is awesome. I'm playing on there instead of official servers but I'll hop on there to take advantage of the head start. Who knows, official servers might be good one day but right now LoU is where it's at.

Okay, that's true. Good point, Marquess. Point for you. But you get a point taken away for being a dick. So, back to zero.

Maybe its just me, but when i play over an hour on LoU my client starts to stutter and bringing up windows takes like 5 secs.

LoU is a really fun server, but i can't figure out if it's the client that's loving up or my machine.

Probably neither, it's likely server side. They used to have 2 hour restarts because of this crap but it's now been changed to 5.

Does the problem go away after a reboot or does it remain?

It goes away for a bit but within an hour/hour and a half it returns so yea, probably a server side issue.

We should definitely get a list of Goon names on here for the LoU shard. Would that be cool, OP?

OP is too busy throwing down insane amounts of money on kickstarter MMOs that will never come out and if they do, will be complete poo poo. You're better off starting a new thread at this point.

But lets face it. Like 5 people tops are going to play this so Discord would probably be better to organize anyway. Unless some of the old UOForever people get into this for whatever reason.

I tried LoU and got killed by the first bandit I encountered as soon as I left Britain. It's been at least a decade since I played UO, but I think that's exactly what happened to me there, too.

If you convince Awful Company to drop AO for this, you'd have numbers.

But from what I played during free week the combat seemed to clunky currently.

EQMS has some people playing this but I tried it, went on LOU, and it was dead as gently caress... which made no sense considering its not getting wiped?

It did get wiped (it annoyed me, but it was needed - people were selling legacy items for ridiculous money which for some reason the mods couldn't remove from the game), and a good chunk of people stopped playing temporarily given it was the start of summer. Even now its a bit quiet, will probably pick up in a few months time. Seems to be a nice, slow steady stream of newbies joining up though.

The LOU guys are honestly not smart enough to not wipe. Their plan is to not wipe the server and just code through citadel's attempt to make wipes necessary for soft launch, but in a recent release where a wipe wasn't necessary but citadel just hosed up the conversion code, they wiped anyway rather than fix it, but only the world since citadel's code worked for personal items. I would expect wipes right up until soft-launch on LOU.

I imagine with the feedback from the trial week, they are trying to revamp some stuff before open beta.

If they leave the combat as clunky as it was it will die in open beta.

Can you describe clunky here? Smooth isn't exactly the adjective I'd use for the combat in UO to begin with. I haven't played the game at all, and if the combat is somehow worse than the original UO, then I'm definitely not interested.
