Hi folks,
last weekend I logged in to UO (Forever) for the first time after many many years! I created a new char, headed straight to Brit Bank, and found it bursting with life. Players running around, chasing one another, people shouting the good old commands (Guards open Bank etc.), Thieves struck down by lightning, Shop Gating etc. I was even hearing the characteristic sounds of good old UO!
Well, after wiping away a small tear, I was immediately addicted again. Having played scrap MMOs like WoW or FF XIV for far too long I am now eager to return to the best game ever made!
However, I have couple of questions. Perhaps someone finds the time to answer:
1. No Delucia??
I understand that the Lost Lands are currently not active? Why is that? The only reason I could imagine would be that the player base would be more scattered. Other than that, the Lost Lands were part of the experience of the old UO.
And other than that, Delucia was always my favorite town... Will I never see it again??
In the FAQs there is stated that the champ spawn at Terathan Keep is active. How so, if Lost Lands are not integrated?
2. How many players are active at average?
I think UO Renaissance has about 400 active in the evening. Is UO Forever considered to be a larger shard?
3. What are the chances the server will shut down in the next few months?
Having played on Defiance Freeshard for several years, it nearly broke my heart, when that server was shut down.
4. Are Crafters worthwile on this shard?
4. Are Dexxers viable?
4. Can Thieves make a living?
5. What about possible housing spots? Are there enough free spots left to place a tower?
6. What are the major custom mechanics which are not found on OSI (or perhaps are active in modern EA UO)?
7. How do play UO on modern PCs (e.g. resolution on a large monitor)?
Thanks a lot!
