I think some stuff would be nice.... 10 ideas

1. Get more things in dungens so people go there.
2. Make use of the water but you need to add swiming and stuff like that aka dungens and some places where there is sunk ships and things such as under water dungens and such.
3. Add more spells in all the spell books.
4. Make it so hyru's can only all kill if the rider has enough as in 60+ animal lore and 61+ animal taming.
5. Add a few more classes like this.... Sorcery and this char that gains from the ways from air, swamp, sea, wind, and earth.
6. no sorcery can be given and used on any char with any fighting or magery skills.
7. Be nice if you reviewed some accunts that were banned but only if it was some over the issue reson like saying one word or somthing that could be turned.
8. Do more gm interaction with players making and doing things like quests.
9. Make new 3d more like that of other playing stuff like real 3d so you can pan around your char and such.
10. Stop Speed hacks please

Ok my 2 cents to your list:

1. Ok, what kind of things? Any ideas? Are we talking fel dungeons or tram dungeons or both?

2. No to swimming, personally I think we have enough skills already, not counting the ones that are going to be added with SA. Now if you just want to add like underwater areas and restrict movement like in the changeling desert then I can go with this. Or maybe make swiming like they did with masonry or glassblowing? Or maybe make it a gold sink, like you can buy a potion that gives you x amount of time underwater or something?

3. Ok what are the spells? cause they are going to have to be tested/balanced before being added. What spells would you like to be added and into which spellbooks?

4. I thought that was the point of having a high bushido? to contrl a hiryu without have tame or lore?

5. Personally I would like to see classes added in. But from many of the purists you well get the arguement that it kills the freedom to make a character however they wish. But this point could be its on separate thread so I will just leave it here.

6. Again classes, its a whole other discussion.

7. There is an appeal process for banned accounts.

8. You are asking for a return of the EM program? Thats not gonna happen cuts into the profits that UO still generates.

9. So are you advocating that EAMythic scrap UO altogether and build a new 3D game? I kind of like the fact that they are trying to keep requirements down. Go look at how many people are playing and paying to play runescape still? Or any of the so called niche games. Or heck just look at pogo that EA runs, no graphics there but there is what? about a million subscribers? Personally its not about the graphics, its always been about the gameplay. I was struck the first time I saw UO, I asked my friend what he was playing. I asked what could you do in the game. His reply just about anything. My thoughts spun when I heard that, and I had to try it for myself, been here ever since. (nearly 10 years)

10. Amen to this one.

thanks

1. both
2. not skill but have alch make the potions so you can breath underwater.
3. all books need more spells every one.
4. if you have 120 bushido you need not other but if not then you need 60 animal lore and 61 taming or you cant call all kill since it will not do that.
5. amen but think they should.
6. just when you have like sorcery then you cant have weopen or fighting or magery skill to have sorcery.
7. ya but dont see to work well hehe I waited though 6 months of jumping though hoops only to say oh ya ok when all my stuff was gone.
8. em well that is somthing but in old days gms would be head of the quest for things and many times control the main godly moster.
9. Well hehe mysitic is owned by EA they should make more grafics like AKA Dark Age of Camilot.
10. Amen back bro

nooo. the only kind of change that should be made to UO right now, is a revert!

9 - "I asked what could you do in the game. His reply just about anything."

If you used the WoW graphics engine, added in the UO game mechanics - skills rather than classes, player housing and decoing [but NOT instanced], uo crafting - but using the WoW crafting "make all" button, ability to "drop" items on the floor - then you would have a cracking game.

Basically UO still offers more freedom to do stuff than any other game - it just looks like a 1980s spectrum game compared to the bright and shiny new toys such as WoW. I can walk around WoW and just explore and marvel at things and literally say "ooooooooooo that IS pretty".

There are still elements of that in UO but I guess familiarity may breed contempt?

call me crazy but i'd take UO's 2D graphics over WoW's.

the 90 is to ride the lessor hiryu only..

Well Daoc is owned buy EA and it is nice interesting grafics not like wow and stuff more thinking add stuff here to say what you want and such

A swimming potion for holding your breath under water sounds like a great idea. They could link it to stamina and mediataion.An underwater dungeon entrance would be crazy cool. Air pockets along the way to the dungeon entrance would be cool stopping places for new monsters, shops and such. Only issue is this would require 3D graphics to truly depict underwater play. Plain old swimming would be pointless as we have boats. It would be nice to be able to place a boat in the water in Ish. And even the black starry waters in Umbra.

agree also why cant you just stop your boat you dive off in the water and have it show you on your map where that is and your last death area eactly where you body is?

OH and then put items that help you swim faster make item to help you hold your breath longer and stuff so much and will they do it?

I agree with a lot of people, the 2d graphics are very favorable. And graphics dont make the game. But in some instances it can make it better if a few ways. Now Ive seen KR and must say Im not completely thrilled with it. I think EA should take the existing 2d art and pixel shade it. add a 2d 1/2 to it kinda like some of the nintendo console games. Make it look like a brushed up and polished 2d. Leave all the same colors and such just geve them some depth. Changing the graphics completely hurts people. Especially when they design a house to where they want it. They could really make uo's graphics good buy just changing minor things.

1. Change the textures a little bit (building, landscape ect)

2. Allow small facial feature customization. (eye color, chin, nose, eyebrows,

3. Make clothing a tad more realistic, keep the graphics and the shape just texture them slightly (leather, cloth, armor,) Instead of just a colored peice give some depth, make armor metallic looking, leather more of the well leather look, and make cloth soft and smooth looking.

4. Do what they did when they released LBR, keep the graphics for the old monsters the same but when new monsters came out use newer type graphics. (one thing people hate is when they get use to how monsters look then all of a sudden the graphics are changed and they have to get use to somthing else. I was so use to the unikorns and ki-rins being just a different colored horse, then when they changed I didnt like them or recognize them right away.

5. Keep the new graphics simple. Load time is crucial. The more players on a server the more lag and load time for individual computers. It is easy to "update" old graphics and they run just as smooth as the old but implementing all new models instead of reskinning old ones is where online games fail.
