Pre-AOS for me.

I think they messed with a working formula when they brought out the new skills and diferent magical properties of metals and armor.  Then the loot from Doom.  Ugghhhh
 

Its funny how happy I was with just the simple things.  I always wanted to have a big house and got an 18*18 when AoS came out but its gone after I wound up not enjoying the game anymore and quitting.  I'd gladly live out of the Inns and friends houses again for pre-AOS.

The thing is UO is outdated with high monthly fees. For a game that is so cheap to run and update it does not need a fee so high. Also it doesn't help the fact that there is 100's of private servers where players go to play for free and get classic if they want.

They need to just make this free to play, it is old and outdated. The game is not something easily learned either by new players and may seem to bulky and as said outdated. They probably don't draw many new customers.

If it was free to play but had ads enabled in game and when you log in then it may help them make more money then what they make now charging old players.

Too expensive...

Hmm maybe because my €13 convert to $20 and I surely will not pay EA that much.

Such an old gamw with such a high fee ... but hey they still have 100.000 accounts, so good for them.

I just looked for a freeshard and will wait and see what EA does.

I'd definitely, definitely return for a pre UO:R shard.

i cant open loot players anymore. i wanna pk again and steal from players!

there are several UO free shards with more players then all the EA shards put together

UO needs to drop crap expansions. Fuck trammel. That shit should never had been made. So yes. We clearly need a pre- EA shard.

I'm sure they have the old scripts hidden somewhere. Quite honestly idiotic that they don't do it. I half play on a T2A freeshard that had 1200 people on nightly back in January-February.. It was a bit mismanaged and a lot of people have left since cause of stupid changes (that ended up being reverted). In Por Ylem (IPY) had the same numbers 3-4 years ago and was a blast.

Just saying, with a company like EA I'm positive they could turn a profit on it. Maybe they're just slowly phasing UO out since it isn't a big moneymaker anymore... Anyways.

Instahit.

Order/Chaos.

Heal through poison.

Med warriors.

Townies.

Tank Mages.

Good times.

Blah.... hoping that Darkfall comes out finally. Just came across Mortal Online, that may be good too.

get me pre trammel, and updated graphics ( dont gota be SWEET) imo a game that can run on most PCs with low polys is much better than a game thats life like and only 20 people play it...i played back in 97 was my first and best mmo ever.

You left out the option of never returning..I myself would never return to uo or any other EA game.Their history is even shadier then sony's, just look at how they abrutly ended motor city online with no warning when they saw it fail due to bad management, and yet they didnt learn anything.They keep putting incompetants in charge of design and everything else, and it has ruined them as a company.

This is a serious post with hopes of either a EA Rep will see this or I will sent this to a EA rep , so please be serious and explain why or why you wouldnt come back....Please I ask you if you were a past player to pass this along.

My general idea for reasons players dont like UO is...

 

1.Graphics ( outdated)

2.To items based

3. lack of classic shard ( time frame  pre Age of Shadows)

 

 

Any thoughts??

Yeah I wont be going back especialy with DarkFall so close. I played for 9 years since launch and I didn't enjoy the creation of Trammel, insurance, Ninja's and samurai, 3rd dawn, Item based combat, KR, the black thorn thing -.- and lastly I didn't like EA. I think KR was the final straw for me though.

But UO will always hold a place in my heart. It was my first MMORPG and my favorite. Since DarkFall has pretty much every thing I liked about UO and none of the things I didn't  and does it all with updated graphics and UI once it launches I found my new home which will be this year.

hmmm...im still considering these. i really cant help trying to return in this game, but i lack of money and time. i enjoy playing other MMO games.

Yeah gimme Dread Lord (red) Great Lord (blue) and Grey status ( Pre Karma BS ) and a Pre Church Fundamentalist EA Director who never tought UO was a game where i was allowed to murder and steal thousands of people and house because he probably got murdered on his first day playing and let me just play how i want to and im singing in for 25 a month

Give me a silver vanq hally, with some armor of invincibility and count me in.  I think that's what it was called... sheesh i can't even remember.

The problem with the Classic shard is what time period would be best?

Some say pre publish 16 , pre AOS , ect....

 Pre AOS for sure, so we could go to back to the old item days of Vanquishing, or Power etc. Much better than the Luck and stats crap plastered over everything now with all the silly colours. The old system was a much better fit for the medieval feel of UO, not to mention it was just more appealing and immersion than the system introduced with AOS.
