Even more surprised nobody had made a thread about it because every MMO seems to have a thread in here There arte like 8 ultima online spiritual sequels in the hmo currently, it should be loving :sirens: that you haven't heard about this one

Orv posted:It's not necessarily wrong. You need spaces for the less aggressively minded players to either stay (EVE hi-sec) or work up courage to go into (EVE low-sec), and SweetBro is right, that most of the UO revival games are terrible at providing this. AO especially doesn't really have a game beyond gathering resources to then lose in PvP, yet they still have the systems in place that punish actually trying to take peoples poo poo. EVE is basically the only place where the UO dream still exists in some manageable, working form and even then it goes to great lengths to ensure that 99% of the people who don't want to, poor suicide ganked miners aside, never interact with the loss portion. 3/4 of the eve player base never leave high sec http://imgur.com/a/KOdub pvp servers in wow are ghost towns or have faction imbalances so great it is essentially a pve server The whole problem with making a game for sharks like this is that sharks tend to want encounters where they are in a far superior position to their quarry.

randombattle posted:Part of it is having people who don't want to be griefed but a lot of it also comes down to not laying it all out on the table. This is the reason these games always fail. Now there is something else, where are you going to find people willing to play who also don't want to be griefed.
