a petition for it.

From a game design view I’d much rather play ipy 2.0 and if they evolved the old game into something along the lines of that Az is doing I would be super happy with it.

Anotherthing 12-15 bucks a month doesn’t really bother me at all, I mean really, it’s not a lot of money for something I’ve always wanted to check out.

example: fuck blues – I don’t want to have to change my guild to Fudge Blueberries

I voted no, but on second thought I would definitely pay to play UO:Classic on an official server for a GREATLY reduced price.

And even then, I’d rather just play here.

I also feel this is a point that needs to be considered.

At $5/mo, EA could never really make a classic shard… really, totally worthwhile. Some manipulative massaging aside, it’d be much more attractive to charge you $15. Not only because it’s MORE MONEY, but because I think the worth of a classic shard to a person like you – or the, you know, target audience – is certainly more than $5. Even if you didn’t WANNA pay $15, but the shard was IPY2 and absolutely hardcore bustling with life and *the* place to play UO… you’d fork it over. The question is mainly about how many new-to-UO potential players you’d drive off with that price range. Not about whether guys like you or I would pay it… because we would.

This Is A Good Thing.

Let’s create the first Adults Only UO shard.

We’ll Need More Tits.

1. IPY allows adults to have fun while playing UO.

2. IPY is the only brand name worthy of bringing back the best and brightest PvPers to UO.

3. IPY fighting-style/gameplay is unmatched by any other attempt.

I know the audience, and I know that any PvP alterations would need to be fine tuned by a team of mathematicians and playtested for a year, then probably reworked ten times before the whole group was happy. It’s not worth screwing with on any serious level.

There was a lot of miniheal spam, though. ;)

Obviously you won’t stand for those types of people on your shard, Az, but it would be a hell of a lot easier for you if you stood to make money on the server, as EA does.

Ruleset for me would be 99 era. Pre or post t2a – PvP was almost identical then. The smaller world would be better though.

I never know what to vote on those evolution polls as “evolution” is so subjective. For instance I would hate it if you incorporated full blown CC spells and stuns/mezzes into UO – I never understood why that was fun in PvP when I first experienced it in DaoC/WoW.

But if evolution means getting rid of the ridiculous

An Mani
Hally
An Mani
Hally

while the other guy is sitting there going

In Mani
In Mani
In Mani

Then yes, I am all for evolution.

Secondly I wouldn’t want a totally 100% accurate T2A shard (UOSA already does this)

I would want some tweaks that make the pvp pertain to all weapons classes (Archery especially).

No bullshit crazy colored homo reds/blues/greens etc.

Just old school graphics and rares.

The true value of UO probably is closer to $5/mo, but I’d be willing to pay much more than that. For me, UO provides much more entertainment than WoW, so I’d definitely feel like I was getting a good value at $15+/mo.

I’d have to agree with Mazer about UOSA. Authentic or not, UOSA is fucking terrible. I don’t think a classic EA server needs a lot of evolution, but some balance would be ideal.
