The week or so I spent on T2A there are some things I noticed that could benefit the server.
Its not by the book T2A anyway.
1. Thieves are to powerful. They shouldn't be allowed to steal 100 bandies or regs at once. It ruins PvP and soon enough you'll have nothing but thief/mages running around. Boring people and ruining the server.
2. Make the Moonglow Zoo a non attack zone. This would give new players a chance to macro and get started without players coming in an killing all the animals. The town stables are fine to leave the same just give the new guys 1 place to get started

3. Spawn Despise with the following:
1st Level: Lizardmen, Mongbats, skeletons
2nd Level: Ettins and earth elementals
3rd Level: Trolls, Ogres, Ogre Lords, Slimes
This would be a benefit to all players, I think this is more UO:R, but it would populate that dungeon more and allow newer players a chance to make decent money instead of pocket change. Pk's would still be an issue but hey its UO.
4. Young title for new players. Givem a chance to go out and not get killed 50 times in a row in the Brit Grave yard by some asshole that gets off by annoying New players. Yes its UO and I know Trust me I've been playing since 1997. But if you seriosuly have to kill new players with 80 str to make you feel elite then you have serious issues. Give other players a chance to get started it will only benefit the server.
All of these make perfect sense. If you want to stick to the T2A era only then I have some other info for you.
1. Why do you have horses?
2. Why are 3rd Party programs such as Razor allowed? You can't get a true T2A feel with razor, it makes the game to easy.
3. No practice weapons are given at the start.
4. A few other things not worth mentioning.
My point is, yes make the server as close to T2A as possible, but add a few other things in as well. I'm not saying go strait into UO:R. But add a couple things to improve it.
With all that being said. I wish T2A the best of luck and it saddens me to actually be quitting UO after 11 years lol. Its been a long time.
