thinking about playing

This is a PVP shard not a PK shard...

Please dont start saying that....This is a T2a Shard, and everything that entails. The last shard i was on suckered close to 1000 people in by saying t2a and then they all found out it was a pk shard.

PvP in UO means there will be pks. It's a T2A ruleset server so yes there will be pks. It's freakin UO.

I don't think you can/should call any T2A ruleset server a pk shard. It's just as inaccurate as saying pvp not pk. It's open PvP which means you're going to get hit sometimes.



I don't like gank squads, but I also know they're part of a great game that nobody's really been able to replicate (commercially). If people don't want to get ganked they need to find a... wait, I'm gonna say a bad word... Trammel server!

I dont know what you want to call this server but its not a pvp server. I love uosa and I doubt there is a better site out there but telling people its not loaded with pks will most likely lure in people that will quit soon after starting and they will rant and rave when they do. So be upfront and honest when people ask so they know what they are getting into from the start. This would be the best way to go about it imo. We have a enormus group of jerks on this server but we have alot of great people as well so as long as you know what to expect you can deal with it. Just remember dont ask in game for help ask on the forums as you will get the best and most accurate info/help from here. These people on here are very knowledgable and willing to help out. And on the occasion that someone tries to stir you wrong these guys will correct them quick. Like I said there are alot of guys that know their stuff on here but you will never go wrong with any info that blackfoot has to offer. I also want to say that I agree pks are all part of the game and it would not be the same without them and I wouldnt want to change that even though I dont have a pk myself. This is as close to uo as you are going to find from what I have heard and read but you dont have as many of those pre trammy people that UO had as those people are probably still playing and because of that you have those pk type people comming to shards like this. There are things that still need to be fixed here and I know that when Derrick and the crew get proof of something not being right they fix it. So its up to us to help them out by finding this proof if we truely feel something isnt right.

Its not a PK shard meaning its not easy killings here unless you make it that way for yourself or you find yourself in the wrong place at the wrong time like in the middle of a mYm love fest .

Its a PVP shard because PVP here is definately all skill. Its not wham-bam-loot you man here. Not saying its all PVP mind you, but its definately not a place where its easy to PK. Notice the abundance of red ghosts.

UOSA is not a PvP shard. Divinity is a PvP shard, becasue everything is focused on PvP, combat skill gains quicker and there is little to do other than PvP, even the PvM spawns are designed to become hotspots.

UOSA is an everything shard, that happens to allow open PvP. It says it right on the front page

We do not endorse any particular style of play on Second Age.
Balance of PvM, PvP and RP.

If you think this is in anyway a PvP shard, you have never played one.

Listen carefully...1 vs 1 is a bit more challenging, its not quick easy kills most of the time. Shards that do have the zip, bam, boom dead feel to their pvp for their every fight I call those shards "PK shards" as any surprise attack will quickly lead to death.
I hear people all the time saying its just too much for them and they feel too overpowered when they play there.

I am not saying this is a PVP only shard either. I am saying this is more like fencing then a shootout and takes some style. You have to time everything...its not easy.

You want it in sign language?

Divinity used to advertise as a T2a shard
