Ehhh -- having been banned from free shards for dominating too hard this guy leaves a bad taste in my mouth from the little ive seen from him... I'll probably stick ganking and collecting tears on Albion until something else comes along.
This. He's the archetypal UO freeshard owner. In other words, a complete spoon. You know it's a good time to jump ship when the server admins start talking about themselves as dictators in a self congratulatory manner. Shame, because the server itself is actually good.

I've spoken with Andi. He said he only banned you from Discord due to some big toxic chat(?) but you're not banned from the server.

Andi: Ah okay, then he was part of the group we kicked out of discord. There were no other server bans besides Vulgaar though

I have neither been banned or kicked out of the discord, just gave you a word of warning.

Are you sure you're not missing anything out here? I've seen people do way, way worse and they weren't banned

Also which gm was it?

Here's the reasoning he gave me. All I was doing was asking very politely in the Discord how inviting players he liked to the EQMS Discord construed as "poaching" and the dude booted me for it. There were several goons (some who got kicked as well like Hot Buttered Cooter) who were there to witness it. The whole situation is just absurd, also, talk about sociopathic!

Andi - Today at 6:55 PM
I just banned VulgaarEQMS from this discord server for inviting all new players to his "free speech discord". No problem with people having their own discord for whatever reason (and if you've been here for a bit, you'll know where his comes from), but inviting all new people there falls under our poaching rule.

Vulgaar, for context, is a big community member and not even two days ago held a noob-night for all of us so we could get some money (the screenshots posted a page ago where we were all at the champ spawns were organized and led by him). I've seen him be nothing but an awesome guy and a helpful resource.

Even the Citadel guys are aware of the bad ownership:

Yeah, I have no clue either. That's why I was probing them about it in their Discord (very politely, I might add, since I could sense these guys have a bit of an ego problem). I was genuinely trying to understand how inviting people to a private Discord is "poaching." I think somebody might have the chat logs around here, but I was booted (and didn't really expect to get booted) so I don't have them.

The guys are mostly alright. Andi is the one with a bit of an irritable reputation to be fair - and this is the first I've heard of him doing something like this, and I've been on the shard for a fair while now. I agree the poaching thing is bullshit, but it's done now. Stimwalt and Gorgon are still chill dudes.
I've updated the OP, just avoid talking to Andi about admin politics and we'll be fine. He's got permission to contact me via Discord if he has any issues (he also has this with DoW and FL; I've spoken to him as you know, I reckon he'll be fine with us as a guild).

Meanwhile, in today's adventures...

We started off raiding Britain Sewers before we reached level 3 and ran into trouble with pesky imps.

A few of us went out and hunted orcs. Dumbasses just couldn't help but run into our blade spirits.


We also found a psychotic ninja fellow. He was tough, but we took him down and he dropped a neat axe.

In a peaceful time, the warlike mangoon will make war upon himselfthe server admins.

I'm really tempted to get into this, but already having issues with the admins makes me worry that we'll wear out our welcome. I say that as someone who would likely be part of the problem. The last goon-guild I joined on a UO legacy server nearly got mass-banned for RP Asian Supremacy.

Is there a monthly fee beyond the price of the game?

Hahah sounds like similar crap done in worlds adrift but not racial undertons. So it was fun and hilarious.
But I'm wondering why we shouldnt play on the mains server once there is no resets

There is no subscription price.

Major draw to Legends of Ultima is the upcoming Britannia map and the 1:1 UO mechanics. I'll be playing on all sorts of servers. They'll all have their own draws. I know there's a Tolkien shard being worked on. Probably Warhammer/Norrath/D&D too. I think we'll be seeing a lot of the persistent world communities from Neverwinter Nights move over.

Their rules are listed in the OP. The thing is, if we play this game like normal human beings and don't harass people, we'll be fine. There is no reason we can't just be a red goon murderball destroying everything in our path (we've pretty much got permission for that). If we run into issues where the admins are being extremely unreasonable then we could consider moving to another shard - once steam release is done I'd imagine there would be at least one other shard attempting to 1:1 UO

Even the official shard isn't worlds apart from that

Depends how obfuscated the custom assets, especially maps are once you download them. If anyone can download and access their Britannia map, I bet there'll be ten competitors.

You can import basically anything from the Unity store, and the Sosaria map will probably be there too, so custom assets shouldn't be all that hard to deal with in this game. Heavily customized servers like LOTR, Warhammer or UO mods will require a ton of LUA scripting though. UO-style servers will probably all requires a fair bit of time investment for skill advancement (even if you macro it takes quite some time in UO) so if you're going to make a big time investment, just stay out of server politics and enjoy the game.

I think most people use dexxers to bankroll buying regs. We try to fund people as much as we can for stuff like this but we don't currently have a huge deposit of gold to dip out of just yet (there's some, it might be enough to get you started).

Remember to take 30 MR, 30 Magery and 30 Eval Int, 30 Meditation (and 30 Inscription from the skill book seller)

The game runs lovely on my comp as well and ive got a decent mid level gaming Machine. I just think they really need to optimize the client alot more, which I'm not even sure if thats on their list of to do stuff..

Same. Finally got the game running (on my home theater PC which isn't ideal) and I guess I expected that the map would be a recreation of the UO map so now I'm running around "Moonglow" and I don't know what the gently caress. Are there training dummies I can hit with my baby-dexer Cuck Finn? Alternatively are there low intensity crafting skills or fishing or something that I can macro/monitor while I do chores around the house? If I can't really play yet, I'd like to start chipping away at money-making skills that I can use later once my laptop crash issue is sorted.
