but... asks a player

What is being done to fix the game? What is being done to balance the thrashed economy? What is being done to stop people from hacking the system? Punkbuster is not the answer. Wilki said himself months ago that someone who knows what they are doing will be able to get past PB. It's those players who do the most damage and who need to be worried about the most as it is. How about the countless bugs in game that have been around for years and have never been fixed?

Yes, graphics are a step in the right direction for UO, but these are issues that need addressed and resolved BEFORE a graphical overhaul.

and

a very long post here

and

honestly you guys piss me off...of course you have a point there but why can't you be happy with the rest of us in this moment? We ll get a really new and good looking client! Time will tell what the dev team is gonna do about the issues you guys mentioned.

but for the moment just celebrate and be happy that uo is going into the right direction.

That's an interesting observation... so let me ask you: For what reason would you like to kill monsters?

and

I kill monsters to get all kinds of things, not necessarily gold

bones, berries, arcane gems, zoogie fungus, leather, arrows, gems to go with the mined ones, special items - though not necessarily 'uber' special.
I'd like more of these 'useful' items that I could hunt for.

I do NOT want to kill monsters to 'level up'

and

I don't get the impression that the new graphics are being done by the same team that does the design changes and balancing.
You can see by what they've done already and the behind-the-scenese excitement the team keeps leaking out when they've been proud of UO that the people working on stuff we knew about is different than who's redoing the graphics.

The new Engine looks good. Some ppl are never happy regardless what you do.

Leave the monsters alone, go kill a crafter!

Kill Two Crafters.

I'm liking the new look. And it's something people have been whining about for ages, UO needs a graphics update... now they're actually doing it and what do people do? Whine!

Somehow the feel of that new client is very much Ultima-like to me, so yay and good job and so on and so on! Oh and kill a crafter while you're at it.

Hence why they've whined & moaned all these years for a 3D client they're finally getting.

Since when is "Whinning and Moaning" one of the eight virtues. Perhaps some Compassion for Dev's and everyone else who likes the new engine is in order.

But I wanted 1d, or 4d, not 3d, let's stick with the 2d.

screw that, I want a virtual reality version! I want the next expansion to come with the headgear thing with 7000.1 DTS sound graphics in little itty bitty ear phones and a NASA game engine!!!!

Ok, well maybe not, but I love the graphics and cant wait for it to come out!!

Ole Abe Lincoln said it best:

You can fool some of the people all the time, All the people some of the time, but you can never fool all the people all the time -

just swap out the word fool with please... or not. People will never be happy. If the dev is working on graphics, they whine about pvp balance and vice versa.

There is only so much you can do in a days work and as far as I'm concerned, the dev team is doing their days plus some. I'd like to see lots of changes, but the fact is they are only human and cannot employ half of the United States programmers to work on UO.

As for why do I kill monsters?

because I want to

I do agree I do not want to kill monsters to level up. If UO went to that, then its no better than any other MMORPG or RP game like Baulders Gate. I play UO because its different and you can never "win" - quests, hunts, events - all of these are reasons I would go kill a monster. I'm not looking for the elite of all rares and I'm surely not looking to level up only via killing monsters.

AHHH!!! NO! I most certain do NOT want us all being classified by levels! WAY to many games like that! I like the fact that this game is SKILLED based for the fact ANYONE can join group and have a good time. Because I had tons of issues with EQ (EverQuest) WoW (World of Warcraft) CoH / CoV (City of Heroes / City of Villians, with leveling... friends could out level me because I am not on or whatever... or they start a new character and because of my level... I can NOT group with them and that is VERY imporant to me. I want to hang with my friends all that I can. And I can here in UO because they can advance thier character ALL they want without any worries of leaveing me behind or whatever.

Yes the economy isn't very balanced but I am sure there is other thing can be done without adding the "level" system... I totally reject that idea >_<

I LOVE skilled based games and it is more releastic... because in RL we do not wander around with labeled "number" over out heads...BLEH!

Sorry I seen something about "leveling" and made me go >_<

And yes the graphics are lovely ^_^

Sio, admit it, you are in it for being the premiere decorating master of UO!! hehe.....

But I must admit, when it comes to house decorating, and being an advocate of it, you are second to none!
