Jeremy wants to know

Petra Fyde · 3rd May 2008, 01:45 AM

from this week's 5 on Friday:

Quote:

Are you playing with the Renaissance client? (The easy way to tell is by looking at the splash screen - the graphics that show up after you patch but before the login screen comes up. If that says UO Renaissance, you're using the Renaissance client! Also, if you installed off a Renaissance disk, that'd do it too.)

If you ARE, please drop me some Feedback using the "Question" category and tell me so - we're trying to find out how many people are still using that rather antique install!

Is it that hard to tell what client people are logging into UO with from the server side?

Oh wait, maybe this is how their getting "community involvement".

DiP... Jeremy does the heck of a job.

On my side I have to handle dozens of parents every year... now imagine handling dozens of brats (not much different if you ask me)...

That is Jeremy's task.

She plays Warhammer while occasionally glancing at players requests.

I'm sure a bot can track who's logging in with what client to increase her request glancing time.

Pitr · 3rd May 2008, 04:49 AM

Is WarHammer good?

**DiP** · 3rd May 2008, 04:50 AM

Ask Jeremy or read her blog.

Pitr · 3rd May 2008, 04:50 AM

... and I think I found a way to make folk move from UO to WarHammer with minimal stress.

Offer them in WarHammer the same amount of months they already paid in UO...

**DiP** · 3rd May 2008, 04:53 AM

Wouldn't be a monumental move, EA has already done something similar. And if they did that, that could just keep Jeremy on payroll for the same job under a different game.

Pitr · 3rd May 2008, 04:54 AM

... something similar?

**DiP** · 3rd May 2008, 04:57 AM

Yup, just recently, when that Sims online went down, they offered the ex-subscribers similar compensation into other EA products.

Maybe she meant to ask whom is playing the *legacy* client 2D as opposed to KR ? I mean why would she ask whom is playin the REN cd that gave us trammel like what 8 yrs. ago ?

That would only compound my issue with this request.

I'll atleast give Jeremy the benefit of the doubt in knowing the difference from calling it the Ren client opposed to 2D, but then again, she's also playing other games as well, could have been overlooked.

And even then, it's still something they should be able to do on the server side.
