Re: If player run shards can do it, why can't EA?

Those are pretty nice.. They still remind me of Barbie paper dolls. I like most of the work I've seen on stratics. The wings are neat.. *mumbles*

Re: If player run shards can do it, why can't EA?

For some really wierd reason, creative people just seem to put more heart into volunteer projects than into some they're being paid for. And as a company, EA is going to look for the least expensive way (graphic artist willing to work for the least amount of money), thus the artwork in UO/EA bites. With that in mind, besides copyright reasoning, I just don't understand why they won't accept player created artwork, storylines for events, player fiction for expansions, etc. *shrugs*

Re: If player run shards can do it, why can't EA?

Aye, Gala.. many PRS make such skins available as downloads. Problem is that when UO patches, you have to go in and tweak the uo.cfg all over again. Not a big deal, but could be convenient after an expansion release like ML and the upcoming 8th Anniversary since they're typically patching indescriminantly to fix bugs. :/

Re: If player run shards can do it, why can't EA?

As amazing as some of those outfits look and how awesome it would be to have some of the content that alot of the prs seem to have, imagine how many expansions EA would throw out to justify putting all that stuff in.

I've never understood how the prs can redo everything but ea needs a brand new expansion to add a simple dungeon or add a new race/skill set, hopefully one day they will wise up and run the game the way it should be run.

That's what I can't understand
I guess EA's way of thinking it, we'll bring out more content, more dungeons, but charge people to visit
I mean why give something away for free when you know people will pay for it?

Bit like when the councelors used to do weddings (For free), after they were gone, EA started charging for it with their "Magic moments" lol

But seriously, adding a dungeon is SO Easy, adding land is extremely easy
If the tools EA has, don't allow that easy creation/additions etc, then maybe they should create new tools

I mean you can make an entire new map (bigger than trammel) using like....6 colours in MSPaint
You draw the mountains in grey, beaches in the sandy colour, grass in green, forests in dark green, sea in blue
So simple, wish EA could do that, instead of charging us everytime they bring out new shiney items.

Re: If player run shards can do it, why can't EA?

Alot of it has to do with that well, they dont want to get to xxxxx level. But then again, look at what happened with Tokuno dyes....

Im sure they will do something similar.
