I was playing EQ2 for a while some time ago while i was on a break from UO.
I didn't think i would liek it since i was used to the flat world of UO but oh man how i wish I could play Ultima Online from withen the game instead of looking down at it. At one point I thought they were going to do that ( maybe that was the uxo thing you guys mentioned?)
I usually seemed to play when everyone else was online because i was always being asked to join groups. I don't actually liek playing in groups that much and prefer to solo.
and to tie this in to UO ..
I think some of those 'uber' items should have different ways to be obtained. So that you don't have to already have them to be able to get them.

clicking..
My main char is a tamer. The only clicking i do when taming, is my macro buttons. One is set to 'tame' the other is set to 'tame last target'. I click the animal with the first , and then hold down the second button until i've started to tame the creature. rinse repeat, till it accepts me.

No New Land!
I think new things should be added to the land we already have.
Give me a reason to go into the wild besides looking for Idocs or vendor hopping. what would be pretty cool is traveling vendors that you may find occasionally on the road side. kinda like those gypsy camps in ilshnar. but these ones could sell special items sold only by them. there'd be a limit on how many you can buy in a certain amount of time ( so people can't buy them all up and then sell them for extremley high prices in Luna or the bank)
And they'd travel from town to town.. but out on the roads is where you'd find them. near town but not in it.. So you'd have to go out and explore.

random thinsg like that every once in a while would be nice.


Pirates would be cool. Haveing npc pirate ships to blast away and loot. how awesome would that be!? lootables would include.. eye-patch, parrot to ride on shoulder or fly behind you, decorations like open chests of gold and jewels. We already have a piratey looking flag in game or i'd say those too, same with hanging skeleton . think people would be pissed if those become not too rare loot.

I can only play in 2-d, the other is just so damn ugly looking and it's buggy. makes me crash, my arms always end up stretching across the whole screen .. man is it ugly. dunno how anyone could prefer that .and it's not even 3-d! it's still me staring down at a flat world except they changed them to look funky and half the creatures are hard to recognize... that is when i can actually get anywhere to see them w/o crashing.

It would be nice if housing was more like it is in EQ2. keep the housing like it is in UO but add apartments in town that players can rent from the city . That would be nice. Then you can actually say you live in this town or the other and it'd be the truth.


I just keep typing and typing lol! i have lots of thoughts I hope soem of what i'm spewing out makes sense.
some things i've been wanting ingame

House pets.
the parrots are a joke. they suck. all they are good for is making me think there is a vendor in the house i'm riding towards because of their yellow names.
I want to be able to bond one or more pets to my home.. where they can run around , be given food and attention and for bigger animals.. guard the home. don't need new animals.. just the ability to bond already existing ones to the house. we have squirrels and ferrets and cats and dogs and bunnies.. all sorts of animals that can be tamed.

ok it's late so i'm just going to stop typing heh

Oh yeah.. In doom, yes it is hard to get to the body so what you do is hold down ctrl and shift buttons both at same time and you should get a clickable bubble of the corpses name, and that will open it up for you.
I think it's ctrl+shift. something like that anyway.

I LOVE MY PARROTS ! hehe

Squak squak they just flew in from Delucia and boy are their wings tired...squak.

**I would go for some new expansion that added no land whatsoever and finally made some decent useage of the tons of ocean waters all around us all on all facets, all shards with use of existant waters, toss in caves etc. better ships, and more sea adventures for all, including some tranquil spots of nothing killing us too in some sea spots.. to relax and fish... would be grand.

I would love to see a sea expansion. I want Pirates and I've read that the UO devs were talking about a rideable seahorse a long, long time ago. Just think of the new plants we could grow and ooo the fun fights.
plus it wouldn't add more lands, it would just make our fun negelated oceans an active part of the game.

I think pirates is a perfect idea. They could start with something easy. Just add a couple men that ride around in a pirate boat.

Make them hard, and worth moderate amount of gold. Maybe a chance to spawn something rare.

I went out in a ship for the first time the other day and the oceans were scarce. I'd like for them to be something in them besides the occasional monster.

Think they need to improve what they have now and SHOW 2-d some love.

I think the devs are trying hard. I really wish EA would give a 1 billion dollar budget to the Ultima crew. That way we could make 2D great and KR great. On top of that, we could add so much stuff, and get so many new players!

Yup..I agree

I agree with fixing what we already have instead of expanding more landmasses. One thing I would absolutely love would be factions in trammel. Some may not agree with this but I think it would give new life to UO and allow for some pvm style players to interact more with pvpers. Could even add hirable dragons and minions of sorts to guard towns so those pvm oriented people could work on mobs while other enjoy the pvp aspect.

Let each faction have a bank. Allow that bank to be highly guarded with paid npc's. Allow other factions to raid the bank/base and take opposing faction silver. Add a no fighting safe bank zone in luna or something along those lines so people wouldnt get killed while pulling thier uninsured items out of the bank box. Last but not least, give nice rewards (items, bods, cool stuff) to be bought with silver. And there you have it.

Factions had so much potential as do many aspects of this game.
