(UO expansion) You'll all scoff, but I'm still going to jizz.

The Developers are of a breed that would rather wear neon yellow underwear while riding pink horses eating virtual cheese...

Like that's a bad thing?

Yes. Just look at any of Stratics douches as a definitive proof of that. People like that give creationist valid point, after all how could simple monkey digress so much and not go extinct? So it must be god that created them, because god hates us all so much.

[sinij]

Why does WUA keep digging up my long dead beloved grandmother just to have anal quickie with her rotting corpse?

Well that how I feel about these UO threads.

[Sky]

I read this factions thing that sounds pretty cool and that, apparently, it's broken and never fixed/completed/upgraded since forever.
 

And if you were tasked with updating a completely clusterhumped pile of spaghetti code to form some kind of consentual pvp in a game most serious pvp players passed up almost ten years ago...you'd slap on the yellow underwear and hop on a pink horse, too. Cheese?

I don't think it's ever dawned on me how ravenous a fanboi WUA is until just now.

[Falconeer]

Hell yeah. Go UO.

[WindupAtheist]

I don't think it's ever dawned on me how ravenous a fanboi WUA is until just now.

Well, I actually snapped that pic to hear the comical outpouring of disbelief from a guild buddy of mine who's always telling me to sell all my UO stuff and move to WoW completely.  As soon as I logged in to sell a few things though, I saw that and had to smile.

But shit, yeah, UO FOREVAR!  I'm level 51 in WoW and frankly killing skeletons in Western Plaguelands over and over is losing it's charm.  I feel another UO bout coming on.

An equivalent screenshot in WoW would have huge numbers of players going "UO? What's that?"

Why do we even heave UO sub-board? You'll all scoff is new water thread.

[shiznitz]

What is 18X18? A house size?

[Driakos]

Yeah a house plot.  Largest custom house size you can currently own.

[WindupAtheist]

We have a UO sub-board because months ago Cheddar and friends made some freeshard their game of the month.  Has nothing to do with me, and frankly I don't see the need for one.  There isn't enough UO activity here to justify anything more than the current "guy who still pays attention bringing news on it sometimes" thread.

[Slayerik]

It was left for WUA and I to call each other bad names in, and for Schildy to change to the latest 5+ player, short lived venture.

[Rasix]

We keep it available for emergency game explosions and MMO necromancy.  Shit happens.

It always fun to log in then page GM detailed instruction on how to go about of anal fucking themselves...

[WindupAtheist]

So they just wrapped up this event where monsters in the original dungeons were dropping these books that could be turned in for rewards.  Then for the last few days they've had this thing where the Lycaeum was being invaded by evil necromancy-using wisps.  And on Test Center now is this thing where you have to "cleanse" one of the virtue shrines by killing a bunch of uber spawn that's around it, then use it to start this quest-chain that takes you to one of the dungeons, gives you a little bit of backstory, and spawns some sort of boss for you to kill.  They manage to work in lots of old-school Ultima lore, which is a refreshing change from the usual robot-ninja-elf stupidity.

Nothing huge really, but it's nice to see that they have the development resources to patch content into the game while simultaneously developing a new client and a new expansion.

[Falconeer]

My personal hype-uO-meter is about to explode.

They even wrote on the just updated website: "Take On Worthy Opponents -- A wide variety of Player-versus-Player (PvP) options, including faction wars for territory control, guild wars for loot and bragging rights, and wide-open, “no rules” PvP for the most dangerous of players."

After all, they are Mythic. I like to think they are going to give factions and PvP some love.

[Slayerik]

Sweeeeeeeet

All the shit they should have done like 8 years ago 

[Falconeer]

Mmh... you know: Origin didn't have the resources and EA doesn't have the skills.
Let's cross fingers about Mythic.

[sinij]

Even if they succeed - what about years of fuck ups, you can't just undo them. For example there is no coming back to player-crafter full loot economy.

[Falconeer]

If they succeed I'll go back playing it (for the usual 20-25 days...).
Even in its actual form, other MMOs from Killer Frogs Online up to World of Borecraft can just shine UO shoes.

It's just a matter of giving me enough reasons to play it again knowing that the old days are gone. PvP enhancements could do the job.

P.S: I was wrong about Vanguard. Or maybe Vanguard was wrong about me.

Just fixing that for you.

[Ironwood]

Heh.  I am sure I'm now owed money from someone.

[Falconeer]

Yeah, I needed to come out of the closet. Now I feel so much better...

Can you have your salad tossed in UO prison?

It is such a weight lifted from your shoulders, isn't it?

Simmah down now, simmah down.  All that really says is that the game has factions, guild wars, and Felucca, all of which are already old hat.  It doesn't actually promise anything new, though certainly a worthwhile faction system would go over well.

EDIT:  God damn Stratics monkeys are crying about having to push enter to open the chat bar now.  EA really needs to push Stratics under a fucking bus.  Seriously, take shit-eating mongoloids screaming "BUT I DONT WANT A SLOTTED INVENTORY I LIKE MAKING SMILEY FACES IN MY BACKPACK WITH COINS!" out behind the barn and put one in the back of their head for the good of the game.

This is the playerbase, of which you are a part of.

[WindupAtheist]

I deal with UO players all the time in, you know, UO.  The sort of shrieking imbecile I describe is virtually unrepresented among people I meet in the game, but common as dirt on the Stratics forums.

Also, your sentence should have only one "of" in it.  Pick a spot and commit, damn you.

[LC]

They should name the upgrade "Ultima Online: Clipart on Crappy Kingdoms" instead. They are upgrading the graphics from 1997 to 1999.

[Azaroth]

Shit, I LIKE the old time UO graphics anyway. I'm not sure I wouldn't go back to using the old client after a couple months if I still played UO.

But I'm a MMO geezer, since I think the average MMO gamer age is something like 14.

[Calantus]

Having the chat open at all times is just fucking stupid, I can't understand why people would want it to stay that way. Plenty of times times I've just said "ffffffffffffffffffffffff" or some other crap because a macro failed to fire a few times and I just dumped it into chat to get rid of it.

[Azaroth]

I also like unslotted inventories and free-and-easy swinger chat.

Yeah, I'm a UO hippy like that.
