So a call goes out to help the town defend itself. Anyone that wants in can hit "I want in" tab, and join the battle.

<description><![CDATA[Snakeoil posted :  <BLOCKQUOTE><SMALL>quote:</SMALL><HR>The problem is that people are obsessed with gear, achievements, etc. UO was truly a virtual world, and that's what made it so cool to me.<br><HR></BLOCKQUOTE><br><br>I recall players in UO obsessing over weapons with the term "vanquishing" in them. Because they could kill a target in one or two hits.<br>Then players obsessed over Armor/clothing that would stack to give them 100% zero regent cost. Which was great, because as a "grandmaster" magic user it meant not having to carry several stacks of regents around that would take up space and add weight.<br><br>Remember UO had a space limit on packs of 250, as well as a weight limit. Go over the weight limit [I forgot what it was] and you ran out of stamina real quick.<br>Thats another thing I liked about UO.<br>The items you wore/carried effected your toon stam or dex.<br>Wear full plate and have very slow weapon speeds [unless your plate items had dex boosts on them]. <br>UO was the only game I ever saw dex monkies. Players that would go "naked" and use a halberd for 1 to 2 hit kills. By being naked they could wing the halberd faster then a dagger.  Needless to say the gms fixed that little mistake.<br>But dex played a part in how fast you could apply a bandage,  and your healing/anatomy skill determined for how much that bandage would heal.<br><br>They had a lot of kool little things that other games just never tried picking up on. <br>For example: taming a chicken, then training it so it's strength and attack skills build. Then taking out with you and watching as it kills lizardmen and orcs. Then go to a player run chicken fight and enter the fight to see how well your chicken's training has progressed. My bard has a chicken on him [or he did last year] named KFC.<br>Players being able to set up a house, then place a vendor in it. heck, I'd be tickled puck, if WOW would just let use hire vendors to sell goods on the streets, outside of the AH. I like the AH, but in UO, the home owner could place a request/suggestion box and the shoppers could place requests in there. <br><br>I miss fishing. In UO, you purchased a boat and ventured out into the seas. Then you started fishing. You could pull up a boot, a sea serpent. Sea serpents gave a nice fight, and they'd sometimes have a message in a bottle as loot. The MIB gave you cords to sail to, and then you could fish up a chest filled with loot.<br>Much more exciting then just standing on a shore line and casting into the water. <br><br>I have noticed that Ultimate cards are good for UO playtime, I may fire up my accounts after my WOW time expires. Though the last time I did, my server was very empty, and I lost a decent mount because I forgot how to fight.. lol. It was just a fire beetle.<br><br> <br><small>--<br>Is a person a failure for doing nothing? Or is he a failure for trying, and not succeeding at what he is attempting to do?

The end game content that existed at launch and what was released not long after was actually enjoyable in my opinion though the standard "not enough to do at launch" argument obviously applied.<br><br>I thought questing was the most enjoyable of any MMO I've played, both solo and group, Flash Points and Operations were enjoyable, especially story heavy ones, the three launch Warzones weren't bad but man, that fucking PvP balance.  Sweet shit Bioware had no god damn idea what the fuck they were doing.  And yeah, the engine that game ran on was a bloody abortion.  But, once again, I'll continue to lament over what could have been.<br><small>--<br>Lore Nerd.  Role Player.  Raid Leader.  Healing Priest.  Slightly Annoying.
