Time for a Jump to WoW, UO is going Dead 100%
Moderators: Benn, Calix, senji
Well it's simple...
Only thing i enjoyed doing in UO was to PVP.... now that's not an option...
Don't like playing solo, cuz is boring.... plus when u find 2 or more ppl u prolly need to run unless they are PVP! wich is not a prob they are capable to lose 2 vs 1
Anyway... about items is that EVERYONE will have EVERYTHING capped... at least there was a difference in ppl's equip....Some had medium, some had good, some had uber.... Was a game challenge to be able to get as much as good equip u could... Now even that challenge is gone...
On the other hand someone can claim that getting easy uber items might make old players who had no money to buy all that stuff might come back...
But as pareto said.. NO NEW PLAYERS are coming along... Just the old leaving...

If the subscriber base shrinks, the worst thing that can happen is clustering of servers like they already do in daoc, make one server from 2 doubling the number of facets and maybe adding a new one. Se we will be bascially able to xshard with a recall..
I agree UO won't last forever, they need to make a new 3d client from scratch and change movement to be vector based like every other mmrpg does.
What is happening with SE is nothing new on the scene, daoc did the same with toa, when it came out you could be a tiny crocodile(difficult to see and target) with 25% bonus to everything, then they nerfed it badly after most people bought the expansion(tiny croc -> big lizardman, bonus -> 10%). There hasn't been a good reason to buy SE until pub31, now there are 20 more reasons. When they finish milking money out of it, they'll nerf it and add a new expansion, with a new extreme powerful class(pirate of course).
I just hope they get enough resources to give us a new client and change the server code to adapt to a 3d world(movement mainly).
