Blazing Zero posted:exactly it Well that's a shame, because from what I've seen, Enhanced Client is exactly what it claims to be. Shame the popular shards that cash in on the "we'll take you back to Renaissance" refuse to support it. Every server that offers it is completely optional so I don't understand the controversy, especially when it'd attract a new audience that wants the UO experience without the extremely dated feel the clients have. Hopefully it'll become standard on these servers considering the old clients are technically limiting those of us with top of the line hardware.

But playing UO trades exclusively in nostalgia though? If people were clamoring for quality of life improvements or slick new UI elements they would not be playing UO. Why take the time or effort to support a client that your player base will not utilize because they probably left before The 3rd Dawn expansion. Plus I personally think it looks muddy as hell and Origin was trying to salvage assets from a failed 3d MMO and repurpose them in a scaled down fixed perspective game. UO is not a growing community, it's a transitive one chasing the feeling of a 1997 or 1998 or so MMO. You don't need to modernize because you are not going to attract new players.

I don't know about that, many people are looking for an EVE-like experience on the ground. Unfortunately, there are only two options. Galaxies Emulator or UO shards. Imagine how popular this thread would be if it was a populated server, it was accessible to new users without setting up macros in some external options menu thing and supported higher resolutions and looked like a 2003-era Infinity Engine game rather than 1997 UO as we all know it. There's definitely some untapped potential here and it'd be a shame for it to die when the community becomes disinterested or out of technical limitations.

No one who didn't play this game when it was a real actual thing will just spontaneously start on a free server without something severely wrong with them or a friend to drag them absolutely kicking and screaming through the terrible UI, poorly explained systems and brutal lose everything game play. Slapping a new coat of paint and making your backpack easier to deal with in no way changes the fact that you can just get on any number of free Korean MMOs that aren't so punitive.

the idea that new players would stick around without the above is hilariously absurd. if that minute group of newbies exists, they heard stories from uo lovers and resolved themselves to see it through

My cousin was obsessed with UO back in the day and I had a general idea of what the game was like, but it didn't interest me at the time. The first time I actually played was maybe a week or two ago.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbNPKe0Jufk UO Revealed just released a demonstration of their trade pack system. A good average of 50-75 people online every day at launch. Seems like it has potential.

Goons ruined UO for a lot of people while EQMS was gone and thats probably killed a good amount of interest for this thread. Who the gently caress wants to play UO when all your guild does is go fishing(wish I was joking). Now that EQMS is back, all goons do on UOF is poo poo on pubbies and drink their tears so the UO'ing is worth it again.

I think you are way too optimistic on how many still care about UO. The numbers are diminishing more and more. Hoping that you can put UO in the Games section is again way too optimistic. It's an old outdated game for people that have nostalgia for it.

Its still the only full loot/full PVP game worth playing(as sad as that is). There was darkfall which was ruined. Albion Online isnt out yet. All the other potential full loot/pvp games are likely vaporware. I dont think UO will ever the numbers of a modern MMO obviously but theres still 600-700 people online on UOF at a time which means plenty of people to kill.

The UI looks good, now if I only had the time and motivation to get back on since my plot fell. Also, IDK what the one guy was talking about--some of the best times with goons in UOF was just making GBS threads around, going on treasure hunts and doing other cool poo poo with other goons. I mean, making GBS threads on pubbies is nice, but most goons had EQMS characters (myself excluded) and did other UO-y poo poo when no one felt like PVPing (which was admittedly rare) or there wasn't a large enough group to go trolling for pubbies

To each their own but when EQMS came back we found goons were 100% doing trammy poo poo(building boats, fishing, treasure hunting) which kind of goes against what goons should be doing in a full loot/PVP game and thats making pubbies post poo poo like this: [03:41:19] <a_boss> rofl eqms you bunch of bored faggots [03:41:20] <a_boss> goto bed [03:41:30] <a_boss> rolling 10 deep at bridge [03:41:40] <a_boss> no lives LOL

There's lots of ways to play UO. This shard adds new ones, which is actually pretty cool. Lots of us have been playing this game since we were teenagers, got older, and don't totally dig PKing like we used to. Collecting rares and building houses is fun, treasure hunting is fun, fishing ehhhhhhhhh.

PVE men can help us with RDAs/champs, crafters can help us stock the war machine, etc... What was stupid was when the goons on here had no PVP presence and thus were forced to suck the dicks of other crews in order to avoid getting poo poo on -- in full loot/pvp MMOs, goons should be the ones doing the making GBS threads.
