Howdy!

Me again, If anyone still plays UO at all around here, there's a new shard that started a week ago that promotes OSI 98 sytle gameplay. Minus mounts, its a perfect server. The name is "sosarian rift" You can find it on UOGateway by hitting ctrl+F and search for it... I encourage anyone who's still about UO to give it a shot, I can help you out if you want to start a character and see what it's all about.

Anyway good day..

Why in the world are there no mounts?  How do you promote OSI '98, with no mounts?  Mounts were 100% part of OSI '98.  I can not stand it when people try to draw other people to their servers with promises of emulating the best years of UO. . . and then change it to make it better.  It's either OSI '98, or it's not.  And if there are no mounts, then it's not.  So don't try to sucker people into playing with the fake OSI '98 title.  It's there own special flavor of UO, period.

It's just staggering that it's OBVIOUS people want OSI '98/99 back.  And if someone actually created it, it would be the biggest player run server, ever.  However, people's egos step in and they figure they can make it 'better' than when things were the best.

It was the best.  Best.  Get it?  Best.  You might say "It had it's problems with this, that, and the other thing."  But you know what?  It was still the best.  And if someone built that, they would come.  Even with 'this, that, and the other thing'.  You know why?  Because it would be the best.  The population died when things deviated from 'best'.  It always has, and always will.

But, thank you for the invitation.  When someone creates a REAL OSI '98/99 server, you can believe I will be there.  (And beating TDE, KDC, etc up, just like before!!)

I'd ALMOST be interested in the '98-'99 playstyle again.  That was when I hit UO the most.  Christ, has it been that long?

Ah, yes, back when I was a tailorin' fool w\ eight sheep in my shack of a house out in the middle of nowhere near Yew w\ a spinning wheel & a loom.  I fit more crap into that house than humanly possible.

I miss those days of UO too. If someone setup a server that was like those days, I'd play.

Could you still gate monsters at that time?

Yea, I think so.  That's how I got the sheep to follow me into the house.  Used to go 'round the sheep farm when they spawned.  But I want protection from shit like earthquake & chain lightning in the house.  Bastards kept killing my sheep.  That wool may as well've been made of fucking gold.

Oh fine.  Suppose I won't be mining sheep anyhow in preperation for the big "land rush" that tooks years to come.

Come to think of it, that would make it next to impossible to dislodge someone from a house.

Goddamn.  I still can't stand the mention of that "non-mirror" add-on.

Just cause I was bored and was thinking "Maybe it'll be a decent filler. . .", I went to check out this server.  Hit their website to check news, rules, etc.

Custom map.  There are three land forms.  One main one that looks like it has Brit on it.  One Ice Island that has a town/city on it.  And one other that looks like a mix between Ocllo and Bucs.  So, it has no mounts and the land mass is completely different.  Other than that, it's UO '98.  People are insane. . .

However, it DID have a pic with a magic necklace implying it had the buff clothes stuff which metro never had.

There are so many servers out there that have SOME of uo 98/99, but NONE of them have it all.  When are they going to figure this shit out?!?!?

Lets make a UO '98 server. . . EVERYONE will play it!!  Ya!!  But, lets make it better with no mounts and a custom land mass to force everyone in a smaller area so there's more PvP action. . .  But wait, that's not UO 98/99.  That's ok, this will be 'better'.

fucking morons

When will someone get this shit right?!

Yeah, I used to love being able to get off the beaten path and do a lil magic item/ gold farming and then be able to also get pack into civilization and beat up on some orange/reds.


This really has me wishing there was another game out there I could start playing that was similar... Are any on the horizon at all?

The MMOG market has become...stagnant, in my opinion.  For the most part, you'll be playing nth-generation EQ.

I've said for years that nobody yet has approached the playability of UO.  They all go for 1st person eye candy and all-Trammal play.

My favorite MMOG was back in the 80's... it was down hill once they had graphics instead of command line interfaces.

The best MMOG was the first!  Gaming has been crap ever since they got rid of the punch cards and switched over to lame keyboards and ASCII eye-candy.  Bah.
