Would you play?

1999 is probably closer to what we'd aim for. But yeah, I'm down. Lets do it bro.

I would play a shard that was right at the beginning of UO:R when the only thing they added was a new dungeon and weapon abilities like paralyze on spears. Back when Tamers weren't used as a punching bag by bias devs because they were tired of hearing the whining of mages.

Yep

Edit: Regarding the "on OSI" bit in the OP. Just to clarify: I play UOSA. Only.
When I answered this I meant using 1999 client on UOSA.

I like where GK went with that.
I'd do the same: JUST as UO:R started!
Oh and ofc factions (the best thing added to UO since insta-hit)

I've played on a '98 based shard before, and it was fun, but not popular. It is even more harsh than T2A.

The UO developers used to have a joke when UO came out, starship troopers had just come out as well. It goes

What does UO and Starship Troopers have in common?

They're both full of bugs.

Played a '98 emulator for about 3 weeks. Some interesting (new to me) features but kinda weird. T2A is my preferred time frame.

Nope, will only play here. If anything happens to this shard I am ragequitting video games forever.

Was action quake even in style? It went Quake -> Counterstrike. Quake II and AQ both sucked nuts.

If OSI mirrored the t2a era exactly as it was, I would try it. But I don't think this is possible and would rather play here for free than play a similar shard (maybe not as good) and have to pay. It would all really depend on what features/mechanics there were and were not.

Post by **nightshark** » Thu Apr 07, 2011 9:19 pm

I believe I read somewhere that OSI confirmed they have the old backup scripts (which they originally claimed were gone forever). If OSI put in the exact '99 mechanics on a classic shard, it would actually be a great thing for UOSA since it would be a wealth of information.
