Where I play, it's alive. The things I enjoy doing in UO are very much available to me to enjoy whenever I want.

......It's all beyond our control anyway. ANYONE who claims to know the future of UO - pessimist or optimist - is about as believable as the fortune teller down the block. What will be, will be.

....I'd prefer to enjoy UO's remaining days - however many there may be - in a positive light.

Sadly, that means not discussing UO around here most of the time, for not wanting to wade through more "UO is dying" blabbering.

Heres the thing and it isnt aimed at anyone in particular

I happen to agree with a lot that kitiara says here.

For a LOT of people UO IS still very much alive,depending on what shard you play on,and what you enjoy doing in game.

For me personally things changed on the shard I palyed on in ways that took away what I had enjoyed doing for 7 years.

Hence I finally changed to another game.

However I will say in all honesty,there will never be another game to capture roleplaying in a community the way UO did.

Nor will we see a housing system like UO has.

I doubt any other game will give me the extraordinary roleplay experiences that UO did either.

Those who still enjoy the game should be allowed to do so, and chat about it with others who also enjoy it.

Its not fair that every thread started about UO descends into a flurry of what is wrong with the game in others eyes.

These forums are for any game people want to discuss and we should allow those discussions to take place.

There arent many forums left that have a UO community so we should do all we can to encourage our members here to confidently have their say and ask questions withoutthe fear of being shot down in flames
