What happened with this?

Ultima Online - Classic PvP server is back online!
Submitted by George Vanous on Fri, 10/29/2010 - 07:17.

Ultima Online announced today the release of a classic shard based on the “old school” PvP server!

The new "Shard of the Dead" is an attempt to gauge the interest levels of re-opening a full-blown "old school" PvP server. UO producer Cal Crowner hopes this will excite the players who preferred the classic free-form gameplay of Ultima Online with harsh consequences when your character is defeated by another.

Shard of the Dead will remain open for one to two months, depending on the player response.

Here is a look at the features for this new server.

I mean reading through it it sounds nothing like 'classic' UO because it's still AOS but without insurance, trammel, etc?

I saw this thread yesterday actually when I was on the forums...

Classic Shard

Surely the whole point would be to not have all the new skills etc? Would kind of defeat the purpose otherwise.

I guess it's something they are potentially thinking about anyway, more so than any other time I can remember, can't see it being executed well though, if at all.

LOL - ten years too late.
The boat has already sailed.
Everyone is in their 30s and 40s with no time for mmorpgs (except fucktards who play WOW all night).

Mate, you must be in your late twenties by now. Remembering you as a teenager makes me feel like an old man.
An old man who likes teenagers...

Villa: I remember meeting you and thinking you look like you should be giving out the London lite.
