Precasting was one of the defining characteristics that made t2a great to me.
Also item decay in houses ruined deco, another thing I spend a lot of time messing around with.

Id vote no just for those two alone

lol

I do like the passive use of eval and anat, plus a few other changes that came later. They are completely outweighed by the negatives that come with them.

Also, if you take out precasting, I am outta here, and everyone else will leave too!

Hypothetically, I would quit this shard if those changes were put in.

Hypothetically, if you liked those changes, you would be in whatever that shard was that everyone ran to. I forgot what it was called.

Precast means you can cast a spell, such as lightning bolt, and get the crosshair up. Then you can equip a weapon and maintain the crosshair. Then you can run up to someone and hit them with the weapon and then click them with the crosshair, thus getting a weapon hit and a lightning bolt off at the same time.

When precast was removed, it meant that as soon as you equipped a weapon your spell was canceled.

Only thing I would vote for would be the dex/ bandy thing. All others are sharddeth.

House decay was one of the worst things ever implemented.

For that matter secures and lock downs were also horribad but i understand you have to have them in order to have a cool looking public house. If not then vendor houses would be nothing but vendors and no decorations.

secures and lockdowns when implemented with the house decay during phase 3 of housing completely destroyed stealth looting houses which IMO was one of the most exciting things to do back then.

We all do it now, the table wall off, but truly this wasnt possible in the earlier years(not even sure it was possible in T2A but that is another subject) and made for house looting all the time. It was awesome, it took skill to NOT have your house looted.

Three Observations:

1. To even hypothetically discuss moving the cutoff date forwards bespeaks Trammel in your heart.

2. I agree with Matron. Move it back towards freedom and real UO!

3. GuardianKnight is a scammer.
