Recently, a blog comment on this site informed me that players would “flock here” when IPY went up. That sounds great, but 10000 players online isn’t exactly guaranteed yet.
I thought I’d ask:
What do you think could be done to ensure more players on IPY at launch?
Az, thanks for the beta invite.
No problem.
Did that email ask for your credit card number too?
U CAN HAVE MY CC NUMBER FOR BETA INVITE
*facepalm* Why would you give some random person you cc number? Running a free shard does not magically imbue someone with morality.
it’s not that bad of a deal, actually; it says I can mail a prepaid card, totally worth it to get in on the pally action
if its a prepaid with a set limit i can see that………. but giving someone your mastercard with a 10k limit is something else entirely.
Lolol Puddy with a 10k limit… That guy still owes me 40 Root and compounded with interest over like 7 yrs it’s gotta be like a gazillion he owes me.
hahahaha. Just curious Yaht are you Yahtzee nazi?
Yes. THE Yahtzee Nazi. Lady The Yahtzee Nazi!!! Worst syntax error ever.
Lady?
Well, the char was female… Dread Lady The Yahtzee Nazi… always make UO toons fem; they get access to the elusive and exclusive female armor club. And the Buns hair style. Clearly a win-win… Your char is more resourceful and can look like Leia from Star Wars. Cmon man…
Yes, and a black plain dress looks horrible.
thought u called me a lady…….. miscommunication :)
For anyone who is trying to get pumped up for IPY, I present the following YouTube video for your viewing and listening pleasure. It features a duel between yours truly and resident duel pig manbearpig extraordinaire, Minsc. It ALSO features two super top secret songs from my upcoming UO remix project thats gonna be launched when server launches. BASK IN THE POWERRRRRR

Cool vid Yaht, I like the the remix’s, like UO meets modern day. Most remix’s i’ve heard just improve on the midi instruments so it’s interesting to hear a modernised new take on it. Well done.
Heimdallr approves the remixes. Very nice work.
oh my god you know manbearpig? Hahahahahaha. Too funny. Hes on hybrid now.
scratch that last comment.
Surprised the server doesn’t crash automatically because I don’t has beta invite.
Out of curiosity, how many people are testing?
sooo any luck with beta being open before september 4th-10th? i took holidays for my birthday and all i have to do is smoke marijuana and jerk off.
O and it would be awesome if somehow you made it so cooking skill had a purpose (ie you gain skills better fed)
Agreed, and also nerf that fucking pally bow they keep getting in Deciet LL.
are they fucking testing beta and i wasnt invited?
Looks like it :(
Sirs there is no beta yet.
But, there will be soon?
More importantly, how soon before azaroth.org loads with a treasure chest and the UO opening screen midi track?
If it gets implemented yesterday thats not soon enough. treasure chest opening for pm/prez/dictator and midi track for world national anthem
Seriously I hope that is gonna be in on the client, would be sooo good.
HE SAID “YET”
FWAP FWAP FWAP
*scrolls up to where it says beta Jan 1*
I just beat the internet.
I was fooled too though…
I hope you aren’t implying I announced a beta date.
Other people did that for me (and completely made it up out of thin air), but I’ve said nothing. Ever.
