Ultima Online

I still don't understand why UO doesnt have servers pre-trammel.  I'd love to show the rest of these MMO's what PVP is really like in an open and free world. 

So you can go back to corpse camping, or gate camping (WTF ever terminology was used then to camp gates and kill people as they zapped in)?

Trammel was made for a reason, because the community could not, or would not police itself. If the pvp'rs were so loud and proud then why didn't they stay in Fellu and pvp? If there were so many hard core pvp'rs then Fellu would've stayed active, but it didn't.

Anyway, neither here nor there now. The game is so old and decrepit I can't even get it to run on my new system with about 100 times more processing power than the system I originally played it on 8 years ago.

It's like SWG in many respects, there are just enough people to keep it going, but not enough to do anything other than drag out it's inevitable and unfortunate demise.

It WAS a good game.

heh? go back to gate and corpse camping?  Never did that , just liked the fact it could be done.  Didnt like it at first but after I learned to adapt, I found it very exciting trying to avoid those situations. 

Example,  I used to get pked while mining alot by this one guy.  One day we spoke and made a deal so he wouldnt kill my miner.  Infact he would kill other miners and give me their ore to make ingots lol.  We had a good business going. 

Its things like that they made the game special.  It was never as bad as people say or thought.  I did some pvp, cxrafting etc.  Never to the extreme and had no issues.

If I lost my gear or loot, no big deal because it was all player crafted, very affordable and easy to obtain.  Never a huge issue just lost some time re-equpping.   Didnt take long to make gold to keep my PVP going.

I wouldn't mind a t2a ruleset server. Maybe even early UO:R, though I couldn't stand once they released blackthorns revenge etc.... The publishes where they introduced runics and animal limits etc.. man the game went to crap.

I miss my SWG and UO so much. Why do they always destroy the games you love.

Just let it die man, Just let it die.

I've come to the conclusion that EA is only using uo for Money.  They know its going to tank sooner then later so why not get every penny out of it while you can.  UO has its few players, but like now, one person will get bored and jump ship, then another will follow and so on...  Its only a matter of time.

I use to serf the startics boards every day since 2002ish, but i know find myself only looking maybe once a month, if that.  It was fun while it lasted, now lets get Darkfall OUT already!!  :)

I really don't think gate or corpse camping ever got out of hand pre-trammel. Sure it would happen now and then, but because EVERYONE was on the same field you would find that people team up and take any campers out. One dies, then they bring their guild, then you get guild wars...

Fel was a safer place pre-trammel. Its more dangerous now because of the types that WANT to be there. To me it sounds like you are basing your opinion of Fel on post-trammel gameplay. Unfortunately now the casuals that used to enjoy the excitement, but don't want carebear treatment have unsubscribed and gone on to other things.

As much as I loved UO, there is a time we all just need to move on.

Ultima Online is pretty close to it's last breath.  There will never be a classic server, just like there has not been for 6+ years now and just like it has been stated over and over.  Ultima Online has been what it is now longer than it was back in the day.

If you want a classic server I'm afraid the only place to go is a free shard, but we all know there is favoritism and corruption in those....at least the ones I've tried.

I will always have my UO memories and that's all they should be now.  Hopefully this helps you and just go out and try some other games.  Age of Conan has that similar feel that UO had, with the FFA pvp and all.  Sure it's not like how UO used to be, but the closest any game has come so far.

Man... I WOULD go BACK to UO in a HEARTBEAT if it was PRE-Trammel, that killed it for me completely.

Corpse and gate camping were NEVER a problem for me, cause they could never kill me fast enough, but the game had rules to deal with that. If someone wanted to be a PKer they were penalized for it in the form of LOWER stats, plus you could always ask for help in town.

Ohhh man... the good old days of UO... mining, crafting, going down to the local farm in Yew to sheer the sheep and make bandaids XD

Can anyone PM info for a shard with no TRAMMEL and good number of players?

          Go here and submit  feedback on it ,  We need more non UO players to ask for it.
