Petition to move up the cut off date.(Era Accurate Petition)

[GuardianKnight]

The cut off date needs moved up to the point that trammel stones JUST started spawning but had no use.

UO:R was the end of The Secondage...and UO:R didn't start until trammel came in.


If the game is horribly broken for tamers, dexers, poisoners, thieves... then there is a problem.



We spent days at a time cursing and writing letters to OSI and using the forums to petition for fixes and threatening to quit.


This petition is ERA accurate.

I suppose you could era accurate ban me for saying something...like GMs in old uo loved to do.

How about a little more info on the date you are suggesting we move to?

[tekai]

Very interesting.

I would be willing to give up a lot to have some fixes where it matters.

"Welcome to the Second Age Wiki dedicated to the era of the Second Age in UO, covering approximately three years (1997-2000)." UO:Rennaisance didn't get added until may 4th of 2000.

Take that sucker to May 3, 2000.

That or change the server name to earlysecondage.com

[Lagrath]

Could you give us noobies some insight with what you see as balance and other issues with the current date, and the details of what moving it up to X date in the era would change?

[Mens Rea]

Give a specific date, along with a list of all relevant changes, and get back to me.

Otherwise - this is nonsense. NEA. Ignore. Block. /ban.

[GuardianKnight]

I asked tekai to add to the post because he's one of those " all information " finding type people....

[Mens Rea]

This is not an exhaustive list, this is a selective list.

Do your homework and get back to me.

NEA block ban ignore etc.

Taking the servers to right before UO:R would re-add running with weapons, make our current rune books actually era accurate, add small stone towers, Make the dyed kegs era accurate, all kill / taming / pet speed upgrade, poisoning would be fixed to be harder to cure.

I asked tekai to add to the post because he's one of those " all information " finding type people....

add small stone towers (thats uor not t2a) you are asking for hybrid server at this point mixing between t2a ruleset and uor good things = no longer t2a = not era accurate. please provide a specfic date and patch notes and if you read the swing on the run thread then you can talk about running with weapons. also going forward would make items decay in your house we want to go backwards not forward.

Looking over the list, the only thing that would get this thrown out asap is the fact that the very patch after nov 23 is the one that removes precasting.

Ive heard derrick talk about choosing that day because precasting was so important.

Some of the other changes are fascinating though.


incoming flood of "But MUH HALLY MAGE"


There are 4 full patches after nov 23, and before trammel opened.

the link posted by GK has all of them if anyone's interested before i work on a list tomorrow.


Edit : Im still going to side with Matron and say that the cutoff date needs to be brought back, (like way back) rather then forward, but the patch we are currently at is awful.

[iamreallysquall]

yeah all the steping stones for trammel that in and of it self are trammel item decay in houses / housing changes / and many other disgusting things id never want to see added
