If I could fix something in UO, I would make the Client/User Interface more custimzable. I still have high hope for KR, especially if they continue to work with Mythic.

*The attached pic is of a dark age of camelot interface with video screen worked into the interface. Yes, sometimes waiting for a victim gets boring, so I watch Movies.

Damn, there is a lot of stuff going on in that screen...and I'm not sure that My Name is Earl counts as a movie...I personally prefer old MST3K episodes while I'm training/not fighting.

MST3K rocks!!

Holy ----! I think my comp would melt

Since you would like to make it more customizable. Can I take it you like the direction they have taken with KR (assuming they can get it working correctly)?

Seems that several players feel that KR has taken the UO feel from UO. Not sure if it is just they don't want change or if it really did lose something

You Know Vepl You Could Have Something Ea Should Send A Postcard To Everyone Who Owns A Accoutn Aand Ask Them To Fill In Likes And Dislikes About Uo ...they Could Get Some Serious Feedback From Hardcore Gamers And New Gamers Also. Besiders Postcards Are Cheap And Efficient

I think they tried that a few times with e-mail polls.

They didn't send it out to everyone though.

Getting feedback is a great idea. Trouble is most feedback is in the negative form (ie.. the other forum and a lot of there posters). Also when you think about it. The negative feedback can be caused by one "thing" but given the chance. Most people blast the whole just because they feel they "can". For an example (entirely hypothetical but very possible): Player A is into PvP. He has used skill B for some time now. Well EA makes a change to skill B. Now Player A dies more often. Given the chance to SAY something. Do you think he will say "You broke skill B when you made the change" or is he more likely to say "PvP is broke!! It's unbalanced and you guys don't know how to fix anything!!! You mess everything up."

Another sad example that is real. EA is trying to create a "Focus Group" for PvP. Instead of people trying to be helpful. Some take it as an opportunity to give out incomplete and/or inaccurate information. EA makes the sensible decision and kicks the entire group and starts over. If they have to keep doing that. How long will it be before everyone in the focus group is a crafter. Who won't leak anything about PvP because they really don't care about it. Of course they also will not know how to improve it either

Now how can they get the needed information with out being swamped with the garbage that people want to unload???

Let me think on that

Well They Can Reach Out To Everyone Who Gave Feedback About Beta Testing I.e The Mature Crowd

They should just hire someone *wishes it were me because I would love to work for UO, even as a janitor* that is trained well in game theory and mechanics and works with those subjects. They should also steal WoW's interface, even though it's not really stealing because it's ideas are common, but leave the 2d environment controls.
