New and wants to know why here?

Post by Willis »

Hello to everybody who reads this. Iam totally new and I tend to blab and make long ass txt that hurts your eyes to try to read. But Iam totally new here. I am currently looking for new shard (looks like this 1 is at the top of my list) I just started back in UO after some years. So I forgot a lot of crap about uo. I like to craft and have fun pvp. Now my question is why does this shard do so good/look so good on the internet top voting sites? What is it that has people here/staying? I know many shards build and start up good but then all eventually go down after some time. People get tired of ganks and what not/traps. And some just get tired of it. So why does this client stay so high? Whats so good about this place? Also I was wondering when I make an account in game do I have to use razor or anything else to log in with? I hate razor.

The simple answer to your post is log in and come find out for yourself :)
I'm sure you'll find your fun in no time and enjoy it here.

You don't need razor to play. If you download our client installer there is an unencrypted launcher that you can use. The launcher (client_noenc.exe in the main Ultima Online folder) is pre-set with our IP and port so just double click and log in.

UOSA is the best player-run server because our mechanics are accurate and fun, economy is good, no giveaways, great staff, diverse player-base that isn't seen in other shards.

I like it because it actually feels like an accomplishment when you do something... All the other shards just give everything to you. Here, you have to work.

I don't get all the hate for Razor anyway. A lot of it's worse than UOAssist, but a lot of it's not as bad as UOExtreme or the other one I used on OSI. It's a handy tool that takes most of the grind out of the game, and setting up 'behavior patterns' for your characters isn't too boring. I have one for almost all my routine actions in the game and use it heavily while mining, and I don't really miss manually dragging regs out of my green bag or setting lasttarget on a mountain tile for the umpteenth time.

This shard's greatness is twofold:

According to the opinions of our player base (I concede I am inferring this), T2A was the best era of UO, before OSI/EA/OompaLoompas ruined the game;

The dedication and vision of the staff to faithfully replicate that era, particularly the ethicality associated with this devotion to era-accuracy.

I hope you enjoy your time here, as I do.

I like how there is no freebies, everything you get, you have to work for............. AND NO stupid neon purple/fusia/fire orange weird items all over the place :D

I really like the era accuracy, but on the other hand I do miss the variety in pvp scribe mages, nox mages, healer mages, lumberjacks, etc...
