[UO] Come back, my Lads! - IPY 2.0
Posts
I've even been fairly active on a free shard or two, until recently. I'd gotten bored of the T2A style and jumped onto something based on AOS, though. Been on that shard for the best part of 9 years.
Might look at getting involved in this - will certainly check it out on launch.
Yeah, and I think justifiably. There are definitely a lot of trolls just waiting to cry corruption, and turn the IPY forums/shard into a total circus like it become the first time around when all of that stuff surfaced. I think Az wants to make damn sure that doesn't happen again. On IPY1.0, he ultimately rectified the corruption problem by just wiping the whole shard, and making everyone start over. By some miracle shard population actually increased, but I think he knows that if he ever had to do something like that on IPY2 (especially given the slower skill gain), it would be the nail in the coffin for sure.
If some one still can't access the forums (or if you can see them but shouldn't!) PM me, and I'll see whats wrong. I might have still missed one or two.
Right now we're thinking Monday at 9PM Eastern, but we're still open to suggestions.
Edit: If you're waiting on confirmation at the guild forum or something, and you have an opinion about the guild meeting, you can just post it here to.
Also, if anyone is new to UO or just generally on the fence about playing, this meeting will be a really good way to get a sense of what playing will be like.
I uh wasn't a tamer, I'd beat my drum and or shake my tamborine while swinging my sword wildly.

With all you guys playing, it shouldn't be difficult to get a sparring partner.
Oh, and I'm thinking of doing crafting.
fuck i can't wait to roll a character
I re-subbed WoW after the delay news and have barely been playing. Maybe ten days left on the subscription and I don't give a shit--too pumped for this! Help me perform dark rituals to guarantee the long-term success of this shard.
I'm gonna live forever!

It leads me to a dark, dark place where UO2 and the corpses rot of millions of Meer, Jukan and the city carrying JewTree lies in ruin.
It also leads me to the private server who's name I can't remember right now...
Northwood?
Xeno?
I had a character called Rur, and we were told we could buy buildings for some crazy high number of gold.
...
The Admin was surprised when I managed to collect the amount. The blacksmith now had a sign baring my name in it.
There was another player that was mildly grieving, badgering and playing some crazy story which involved attacking us.
Mernik?
Mernick?
For all we hated him, he was one of the important elements in our whole shard.
We crafted and build and trained because he was always hiding in the forest, waiting for a weak moment.
The guards were all players who leveled their weapon skills faster then the others.
Our map was small and a GM-forcefield kept us away from the rest of the map.
The admin (Xeno? Xono?... sigh) was working on some complete redesign of the map (and perhaps he was modding the engine?). Never saw his work finished, but that didn't matter. We had FUN in that little section of the map.
Somewhere in the end, we 'captured' Mernik, and we had him hanged in the town square.
That would put an end to his evil attempts to create his body-parts monsters.
We never found out if aliens DID teleport him in from the future.
I own an original disk which still works (!), but would much much rather dl a shard appropriate client...
EDIT: Figured it out - they want the classic client... not sure I can link to it?
There's a link a few pages back if you need it. It's a free download off of the UO site. I'm going to post one in the OP when the IPY patch is available and stuff.
Install UO on her computer!
The couple that plays together stays together~
And I enjoyed camping out by houses and stealing keys from people's inventory. I was a dick :P
It's neat seeing those same people that fucked around as 14 year olds now coming back here with us and now being university grads or family men and looking to play a little more community-minded now.
Me personally, I was one of them RP nerds. :P
When you steal outside your community, it's community-minded! And called pillaging. :^:

Edit: For instance, patching the client now will cover the map in snow, apparently.
