Ctf was probably the most fun I had on uo since 1997

How bout an update?

This thread is a waste of time. I remember talking to a staff member about it in Vent i forget who it was and they said the only reason they couldn't fix the event's was the person who coded them was no longer a staff member.
so i asked who it was they didn't tell me then come to found out i remember nevermore was a staff member at the time and was buddy buddy with crew so yeah!.

Well, this does make sense. I guess it was all just a fools hope anyway.

they have it coded somewhere in some archive deep on some hardrive

I call bull, If Derrick is a developer/programmer and he is capable of doing the other changes he has made, he likely capable to doing anything he wants with events. The reason for not bringing back event lies elsewhere. I am not saying it would be easy or fun. Just that it is likely not a reason.(unless the code is crap and just unworkable..) In the real world I am programmer.

or ...

Now if the code is lost and the creator is gone, that is a whole other matter all together.. that means starting from scratch. Lot's more work


this is all supposition...

Truth is, IMO,
Kaivan don't want them back, so their not back

I miss capture the flag. it was great fun (on other shards I played that had it). If it's missing code.. it has to be out there with the other shards that have it. I imagine it could be acquired by some means.

Just to put the rumor to rest regarding the code being lost or Derrick not being able to fix them. The old automated events were created by Derrick prior to the shard opening over 6 years ago. The old code is not lost and we can fix them or make new ones if that is the decision.

I would love a weekly ctf.. those were a lot of fun..

That is excellent news. The overall response seems to be: bring them back but make some changes.

Is there any estimate on when a response from the staff may be forthcoming?

No estimate

The best events were player driven with GM participation.......Maybe Im a little biased but the events where URK took over Cove,Skara Brae and tried to take vesper were a blast.

The last one I was in was when our fort got wrecked......21 or so URK and about 75 or so umies and their pets.....totally the most fun ever on this server.


The problem with that is it actually takes effort from players to get set up,and even though there is a lot of whining I doubt those same people will put some effort of their own to get anything going,they just want to cry and have something handed to them....


Dumhed umies.........NOOOOGGGRRAAHH URK!!!!!

Player events like urks are great when there's actual players here.
Both shadow clan and blood rock are dead and server has like 250-300 on at its peak and that's not even an ip count so, yea, events IMO are needed.
Also, about no estimate, talk about a dick tease. Oh well I stopped playing and am in refresh house mode/give to newbs anyway.
