Now this is UO talk. UO is a game about callouts and poo poo talking. Million dollar duels on a tower. Ambushes at the arranged meeting spot. A farm that turns into a gank that turns into a drag-out guild-callin use-all-your-alts field res and fight naked with no weapon nor pop pouch brawl.

Anybody have any luck getting razor and the client to run on Mac using parallel or bootcamp or something? I'm really not that tech savvy and a couple of my old buddies want to start playing on this shard (we all used to play back when we were like 13). Before I drop cash on some windows emulator I want some small degree of assurance that it will work with all this stuff

More people should come join us! Some of the initial wave people quit, true, but a core of us (5-6 of us or so) are still playing regularly and I'd love to see more new people on! I'm even established enough at crafting now I can make people some poo poo and help people get started and that sort of thing. Just PM Me (StefanProdan) on SynIRC for the goon channel password! Also Hamburgularr I got your message but when I replied with the pass you had logged off  Try again!

This has turned really quickly from an incredible shard to a terrible one. The ruleset keeps moving further and further away from classic UO, and the GMs are pretty much hand-feeding the trammel mindset now to make sure people don't get their feelings hurt. Today's patch brought in the change that items can't be banked for 30 seconds after stealing them, adding a layer of insurance for clumsy assholes to reclaim their poo poo and effectively making everything but dungeon and dexxer thieves impossible to play. Server population has been rapidly declining because of poo poo like this, and long downtimes due to the administrators not having a proper restart script set up that pings the server with a login packet to check if it's hung or not, it only auto-restarts when it hard crashes. Me and the 3 other people in my group of thieves are leaving after this change. There's seldom fun to be had anymore as it is because towns are frequently dead and have nothing but naked AFKers in them with the rapidly declining population, but this was the last straw. This shard had a lot of potential and gave me some of the most fun times I've had playing UO in the last decade. I'm really sorry to see it go this way. Even if you think stealing is bullshit and you don't care, you'll also notice they put in permanent murderer statloss today and the inability for some reds to attack innocents. This server is poo poo. Don't play it. Norton Ghostride fucked around with this message at Sep 23, 2012 around 18:16 |

I disagree with pretty much everything you posted and I think most people who like old school UO would too. The staff fixed a bug that allowed you to instantly bank an item after stealing it and they reduced red penalties so reds could play more without macroing off an already barely existing temporary stat loss. Lets not forget that most reds went blue via a free reprieve as soon as militia was fixed and militia is thriving every single night. If your group of 4 thieves is quitting because you have to survive 30 seconds before banking an item then I don't think you'll be missed on this server or really any server to be honest. I mean, do you actually enjoying stealing 35 mandrake root, banking it, getting killed, and then waiting 2 minutes to get rezzed only to repeat the exact same scenario again and again ad infinitum? Thieves are still 100% viable in every way except if you are a rez robe thief who gets killed instantly at the bank for items of basically no value.

I don't know the actual population but it's a smaller map and you pretty much run into people wherever you go. I can find oranges whenever I log on and the server is updated frequently by a staff that cares about the game. Whether or not this server is worth playing really depends on what you want out of UO.

Looks like the IPY2 thread has fallen off the map... So figured this was the second best place. If there is anyone looking to sell any of their IPY2 items/gold, fire me a PM.

Keep changing the game mechanics every single week and running people out with how you guys 'think' UO should be, it really looks like it's working, guys.merk posted:What's the population like on this server? As of when I left last week or so, almost all the goons playing have quit and most towns are empty even on the tiny map. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

It's pretty rude to keep posting really inaccurate assessments of the server because you are butt-hurt that thieves aren't great. The game mechanics are tweaked every couple of weeks in response to player feedback. Nothing has really fundamentally changed. I play anywhere from 2 to 4 nights of the week and have never not found action on my militia character or my blue farmer. I don't care about online client counts because they are a pointless way to judge a server where the vast majority of the players do not keep accounts logged on 24/7 and instead log on casually. There is more action on Rel Por than IPY had at 800 clients online and this is currently the only server with a rule set worth playing at the moment. As for the goon guild, well, the red/militia group they had wasn't very competitive and it didn't seem like the guild itself had the necessary strong leadership to keep a group of randoms like that playing. UO, especially 2012 player-run UO, is too hardcore and too competitive for most people. That's ok. This game never has and never will be for everyone. People end up quitting instead of adapting because it's not like the glory days they remember. It's the same story for most mass-recruiting guilds on free servers.

If this shard has no macroers, then 100 is quite a bit for this style and era of UO, since most people online is roaming around somewhere up to something. If you have a lot of macroers and 200 people that constitutes a dead shard from my experience.

(I logged onto Hybrid the other day and the guy has a severed black head locked down on top of the bank with some "Down With Obama" poo poo or something. Gimme a break.) I've been playing on Rel Por the last couple of weeks and I'm having a blast (I play in the RP community and with real life friends, and haven't played UO for years). This server has done so many things right. Let's hope the population picks up cause it's the best free server I've played.

It's perplexing that people have claimed that the murder system has become something more difficult for murderers. The system hasn't had any change in the values or duration of consequences. It is still 250 gold bounty per hour of consequence and 500 gold per hour to "bribe" away the consequence. Now, instead of the consequence being statloss for the character (something that previously rendered the character unplayable in all facets) it is now simple inability to attack innocent players (and a pink hue with the title "the Shamed"). Additionally, if your balls are big enough or you don't want to bribe away the consequence or wait out the penalty, you can bypass it entirely by taking Outcast status which is similar to the statloss of old UO, with permanent skill loss (mind you, only is enforced by bounty hunters so it still isn't as severe).

That dude who was talkin about stealing being nerfed is obviously dumb but there are alot of good posts on the Rel Por forums about how stealing isn't exactly the most rewarding on this shard. I'm mostly upset you can't steal house deeds, why not?

There aren't many reds on this server because most of the pvp takes place within the faction system. It's pretty easy to get up and running so I wouldn't really worry about getting pked all the time. If you need any advice about getting started, hop in the irc and ask around. There's usually some helpful people in there.

Shame it had to die. It made a pretty interesting and ambitious experiment. I realize I break some sort of a taboo by even mentioning OSI on these forums. I appologize.

Rel Por was great while it lasted. My group played hardcore from launch until the beginning of December when it really started taking a nose dive. At that point, there were only a few militia groups left and we were all tired of fighting the same guys with the same tactics over and over again. I really hope someone takes a look at mob of monster's code or at least scoops him up on another UO project. That guy created some insane systems unlike anything I've seen in UO before. RIP Rel Por.
