[ERA ACCURACY] 3rd party programs

[Kefka]

During T2A, there were many 3rd party programs, such as UOExtreme, that were NOT ALLOWED, but still worked.

Currently, UOExtreme does not work here, and is not allowed here, this is not T2A accurate.

Please fix this.

UOE is unsupported due to the functionality of RunUO itself. Also, it is unreasonable to suggest an heavy code work to support UOE when our server policy does not allow any other third party program except Razor, which would forbid the use of UOE.

Arguing about events when it comes to era accuracy isn't possible. The events that happened on original shards varied from shard to shard. This argument is no different than trying to argue macroing and policy decisions. The events is not a game mechanic(what is being replicated here based on accuracy) not the different policies from one shard to the next that isn't possible to replicate. This is like trying to argue the Iron Oak invassion(the unique Iron reaper in Brit GY on the Baja shard) isn't accurate since it didn't happen on another shard. The events may in fact be automated but this is simply an improvement to the policy based on very few staff. Again, still not a game mechanic change but a policy change sinc events were UNIQUE. The events here are simply unique to this shard no different than the unique quality that other shards have, nothing more.

Now trying to argue bandages cutting towards policy change isn't feesible. Bandages cutting one by one HAPPENED on ALL shards unlike the unique events that happened from one shard to the next... This is the difference between game mechanic replication that is this server's main goal and policy decision replication which isn't the goal of this shard due to the fact it's not even possible. Trying to argue both topics into one isn't possible unless one shard had existed in the OSI shard list which obviously was never the case. You cannot replicate policy no different than trying to replicate your/mine/anyone's personal or social experience that they had during the t2a era. It just isn't possible unless you figured out how to build a time machine.

3rd party utilities is no different being a policy.

All that needs to be said.

Thanks,

This has nothing to do with accuracy as the OP clearly knows.

This thread is locked, and spamming the accuracy forums with garbage will not be tolerated.

For anyone who doesn't know, UOExtreme, UOA and similar program are not able to connect to RunUO shards simply becuase of the way the decryption of packets is done by razor and similar programs. These programs are not designed to work with freeshards.
