Yes... the very beginning of UO, before the new lands, before tram and fel, before factions, before the power scrolls, before the artifacts, before EVERYTHING there was an unbelievable game that I miss so so much.

7 Years ago there was just Sosaria, and at this point in time... the game was the best it ever was and remains the best that it has ever been. Some might make the assumption that more (expansions) is better. However, in this case (and many will agree) just plain old PRE-T2A was the peak of UO. And generally I am referring to the whole game, but mainly the PvP as well. When UO PvP was skill-based rather than item-based... When skill determined the resolution of a battle, not how many artifacts/power scrolls/stat enhancing items you had. When there was actualy a risk leaving town, rather than trammel or item insurance. This point in UO is what so many people miss.

The land of no restriction, the land of risk, the land of "reds", the land of vengance and deciet, the land of house decay, the land guild vs. guild PvP, the land of criminals, the land of Sosaria. The element of "realism" (with respect to the intrinsic risk involved in real life) made this game undoubtfully the best I have ever played... When that element was gradually taken away (tram/fel, item insurance, ungodly armor/weapons etc.) the game became less and less fun. (for most atleast)

My plead... PLEASE bring this back, this element that I and many others miss so much. Perhaps create a seperate shard... PRE-T2A, absolutely nothing after the T2A expansion... just plain-old Sosaria... I beg of you!!

I would re-subscribe in a heart beat, and I can gaurantee thousands would follow.

Thank you for reading,
~Aaron


I to am one of those players. I am now playing WoW but if UO was to open a Pre 2TA shard I would switch immediatly.

Re: Bring Back UO!!

Yes I too am playing WoW.. and if they opened a classic shard on UO, I would switch as well.

The same thing happened to Dark Ages of Camelot.

Expansion after expansion came out, and it dulled out the game... Recently they created 3 new servers which are "classic" in a sense they are governed by the rulesets and limitations before the "Trials of Atlantis" expansion pack. Over 8000 people resubscribed to the game, and the servers were PACKED.

Why would this not have the same effect on a game that indefinately had and has more subscribers than DAoC ever had? And not to mention it's pure superiority in gameplay and PvP.

Re: Bring Back UO!!

Judging by the number of people that play the free shard alternatives and the rule sets on said shards, i'd imagine opening a classic shard, be it Pre AOS or Pre UOR, would bring alot of people back to UO

I'd love to play a pre aos shard, not sure about pre uor.
