I agree with Merion, Why NOT produce UO in true 3d, chase camera view?...

If UO2 was nearly finished, then why NOT finish it?... The videos I saw looked Great...

As I remember, the excuse WAS, at the time with that team, "They didn't want to split the player base, and end up supporting two platforms"... Now SA:KR only and thats what you ended up with anyways... Sooo...

Who makes the decisions on What content/direction the game goes in? There must be someone with the "Final say" in all things...

Is there anyone in your deptment willing to take a chance at trying to drive the Subscriptions up above 150,000?

Oh my gosh if they finished UO2 I would play! it would be one of the rare games to be sci-fi'ish and fantasy

I'd play UO as well but I do not like how EA is taking it =/ That and no reason for me to really play...

Yes.. if they'd finish it.. id give it a try for sure... Not sure why they shelved it....

thats a good question... Why shelf UO2?

I would have to ask a question I have wanted answered for many years. Due to the amount of military folks that play UO, and those of us that deploy to the mideast quite frequently, is there anyway that UO could impliment some sort of "hold" status for our accounts. I have been paying for my account to stay opened while I'm deployed to the desert, just so I dont lose my house, storage, items, and so on. If I had let the account slip, everything would have disappeared after 30 days. So, if other companies, like insurance companies, cell phone companies, credit cards, can do this, why not a game?

Say a game like WoW for example, in that game, everything you own is on your character, so suspending the account while you're gone, doesnt hurt you any. But in UO, you lose everything. I know there is no way I could pack up everything I own on my characters, 3 of which are red, and I wouldnt want to be carrying everything I own into an inn somewhere in Fel. I would imagine that if I got back and got killed while weighed down, and lost everything, I wouldnt bother keeping the account open any longer, and say screw it.

I guess I just want to know if there is any way that it could be brought up to the higher ups, to put a program like this in place. It would have to be verified, like in order to suspend your account, you would need to fax your deployment orders to them, to show proof of deployment. This would prevent people from abusing this service.


I guess I missed this topic when it came up, as I flew home on leave for Thanksgiving, and was dealing with being served with divorce papers (yah, gotta love that huh), so I'm chiming in now. This has been on my mind for a long time, so I guess even if the topic wasnt brought up, I would have eventually thought to ask it.
