Re: Why wasn't Punkbuster released with UO?

Wow! Someone posted this old FYI message in the Stratics topic I started:
Quote:
After a lot of research and development, we’ve come to the conclusion that for now, it would be better for us to focus on internal fixes and security improvements instead of trying to install PunkBuster. The integration of PunkBuster into the Ultima Online client is being indefinitely postponed, until we can do justice to the marriage of the two products.

We enjoyed working with the team from Even Balance, and hope to do so in the future. We do have the same goals, after all: Ensuring fair play is one of our highest priorities.

Please know that we are working to make systems within the Kingdom Reborn client extremely tough on cheaters. We’ve made cheat prevention, and other in-game measures, a top (and ongoing) priority for our coding team.
So Tony says that it was quick and easy, but this FYI says it never happened and they could't do it justice. Then the FYI goes on to brag about Kingdom Reborn security.
