Re: Advertising the shard

Checkmate is right on the nose, banner ads and network campaigns never do anything. Content advertising is the best way- or as a few have mentioned before- optimizing search engines might be a good idea. Personal referrals work great too. Everyone that played UO must have a significant amount of con...

Re: Custom Houses??

Though not era accurate, I wouldn't mind to see some more options for housing as well. I do not support the idea of fully customizable houses, however if the staff were to implement maybe a few more options of approved new housing that actually LOOKS GOOD, I would really enjoy and support it.

Re: get rid of the light level filter on razor

Verrrry dangerous. The source code for Razor would be like an Injection nightmare all over again- hacking would be easy as one two three, and litterally- it would be THAT easy.

Re: Suggestion: New things to be discovered

Agreed. One idea, that might be deemed appropriate that me and a few others created on a shard long ago once before especially with halloween coming and what not- might be neat if the staff built a really big "Hanted House" or "Haunted Castle/Mansion" if you will. Spawn plenty of...

Re: Suggestion: New things to be discovered

In principle the idea of having things in the world that are unpublicized and generally waiting to be discovered are very much in line with UOSA. I think though that adding new land masses is somewhat contrary to the concept though, new landmasses would be quickly discovered and highly controversia...

Re: Suggestion: New things to be discovered

Sorry, let me be clearer. Your first 5 posts on this forum are asking for something that is expressly against the entire goal of the shard. This is like me starting a job with the NBA and advocating for 15-foot rims and an alligator pit at center-court. I'd advise instead that you take a look at ot...

Re: Suggestion: New things to be discovered

Again, your post adds nothing useful in any way. Congrats, you assume again that you think there is plenty out there I haven't discovered, seeing as you know nothing about me or how much time I have spent playing or developing or anything along those lines. Another assumption, with a quote that isn'...

Re: Suggestion: New things to be discovered

I'm glad everyone here has done all there is to do in UO. Personally, I played 1999 to 2001, then I played on some other T2A-type shard, and now I've spent about a year here playing an awkwardly large amount of time. And I still have a list of dozens of things I'd like to do, to see, etc. I don't k...

Re: Suggestion: New things to be discovered

I agree, I don't think full custom map/monsters is a good idea. But sticking with my initial suggestion, keeping the same items, just adding-- so it were "secrets" to the map we all currently know. Maybe a different portal to T2A somewhere requiring magic words that can only be actually fo...

Re: Suggestion: New things to be discovered

Good point mate, didn't think about that. Yes several uncharted or 'unmapped' islands throughout the oceans would be nice, perhaps a rare or unique ride spawn on one in t2a- might even be neat to put a magic field over them so you cant just mark a rune there but actually have to travel by boat if yo...

Suggestion: New things to be discovered

I would like to suggest there be more new things to be discovered in the world. Maybe not new items or rares or whatever, but simply new places, secrets, spawns, treasure chests, etc. So for example, maybe a nicely decorated island somewhere at sea that doesnt show on the mini map that has a few fun...
