If you truly like a game don't complain about it. If you complain about it then you don't like it and shouldn't be playing it. Remember that old fraise your mom tought you? "If you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all".

If UO has been nerfed and screwed up then don't play! you can go and whine as much as possible the developement team isnt going to cure every problem you have. The game is unique and traveling down a bumpy road. The devs don't need your crying about it. If you don't like it then QUIT! Their are certainly many mmo's out there that cater to whiners.

That's what I think too. It's like I was saying in my "What EA needs to do (rant)" thread. http://www.uoforums.com/f281/what-ea-needs-to-do-rant-34475/

Sharing a producer is better than not having one. Not to mention that UO still has its own server. Once they start having to share servers with DAOC, and they put out the schedule of priority. (For example, UO players can have the server on mondays, tuesdays, and wednesdays, while DAOC can have it the other days.) We are actually doing pretty good.... so how about them virtue drops?

I would like to know when lose my account was not me cheating but using the things in uo that you could and still lost my beta account this is not right and think most bet that even did this to are fired yet my account will not ever be open beta account and great player that helps others amazing

"UO's biggest problems aren't anything in game, or anything any dev could fix/tweak/nerf/etc."

As an avid daily player I have to disagree with ya, there are many things that the Devs could fix/tweak/nerf/etc to please the majority of players. Ask a player who has given more than 3 years of consistent financial and emotional support to the game and they will tell you what they could do to ...

"I shouldn't have to change the way I play to get everything in game". Bleh, it's just gone too far, and it probably started with trying to interact and please the players more so than just doing things for the GAME and not the GAMERS."

Well, I haven't changed the way I play since I started .. 92 months and still not a grey robe in the wardrobe either ... point is .. I might not get the unique goodies given out during special times like the Virtue armor, but that is my choice not to go and fight monsters to get them ... so ... I'm not forced into doing anything I don't want to do just to get 'more stuff' ... *donations of goodie duplicates are always gladly accepted at the Cookie Factory aka Mums home and in kind a return of assistance when possible

"There isn't the same "feel" from the UO crowd anymore, it's turned into "I want more goodies" and "I want ...."

I wish they hadn't taken away the Scenerio Team, the Counselors, and the EM events because those were a great way to interact with players .. although I didn't go and fight off the monsters and I NEVER received a special 'item' from them, it was still fun for me because I chose to and was able to help others by remaining behind to offer rez's .. directions .. supplies and of course cookies .... while they were able to play their way .. it was a win - win for most of us ... and I know many folks who didn't want a special item, they just wanted to go and have fun as a group. Now we pretty much make our own events, group outings, etc., and wait for the next ARC to arrive.

"I just play the game for enjoyment, the only thing that can upset me is not having my server up on a day I have off and can play!"

Same here for the first part for us, but we are retired so we play for enjoyment anytime .... but what does upset me is when bugs don't get fixed, and we hear how they are on it ... and months later ... years later .. the bugs still aren't fixed.

I wish they had thanked us for supporting them for 10 years with a list of fixes ...... and then said more fixes to come

And the ever graceful Queen Mum. I knew you'd chime in, and wanted you to, just to show what type of person USED to play the game.

Unfortunately Mum, you very well could be one of the last of these type gamers, if not the last. I know full well you love UO and always will because you take from it what you want from it. But to even think anything other than the tiniest portion of gamers in UO today play the game in this manner would straight up be denial.

People need to be reminded its just a game and its just for fun.

Since we share Producers with DAOC, does this mean they share office space?

That reminds me of the show The Office. I bet if they do share the same office they fight.

I wonder who has the better looking pocket protecters.... UO Dev's or DAOC Devs? Chris Rabideau has to sit this one out. If it comes down to fighting I will have to give credit to the DAOC Devs because they can Cross Realm fight, unlike our UO Dev's who have to get a focus group organized first before they can fight.
