Haha, move to trash talk perhaps Rose?
I remember the housing and Trammel happening but I don't remember the combat changes. I'm an RP nerd so honestly, all this faction mumbo jumbo and combat changes that happened is beyond me. I remember having a small stone towner on The Isle of the Avatar (fire island), along the east side of the mountains. I hated the lack of leaves on the trees in Feluccia, but for the most part, it remained my home until I stopped playing on OSI.

I wish to forget UO:R, because I quit UO because of that piece of crap "expansion".

oh, I was talking about OSI, not Telamon's shard. I haven't tried that one, nor do I intend to.

Wrestling is useless?.................

I believe shard advertising/bashing is against the forum ToS.. just saying.
Yes sir, you are correct, EA acquired Origin System in 1992. My lack of knowledge on the matter is whats the problem here.
So I googled it. According to the wiki page on OSI, Garriot was still working for them long after he sold his company to EA, right up until early 2000, which is in line with the release of UO:R.
So what I should have said is.... EA really messed up UO after the creator left to pursue a new company called Destination Games. So essentially, UO:R is a Garriot free version of UO.
Also, nightshark, I think you would have made a TERRIBLE neighbor in Nazi Germany.
Edit: Son is right.

Keep it on Topic bro, sheesh.
I remember logging in one day after school and being surprised by the fact that I had to have my spell book equipped to drop a spell on any target. I also remember quitting UO that same afternoon....

There were always 2 major groups of UO players from the very beginning. One group was very large in numbers the other group was very low in numbers.
Bank Sitters, PvMr's, Care Bears, Trammies etc were without dispute the largest group of UO subscribers.
It is hardly Origins fault that the vastly smaller group never learned how to control themselves for the betterment of the game (yes think dollars to keep the game going).
So bash Trammel all you want, you brought it into existence.
Now then it is certainly good to see that the smaller group has found a good home(s) to be with others of a like mind.
I don't mind you guys and I don't mind the Trammel people, It was the TWEENERS the ones that sat on both sides of the fence pretending there could be compromise between the two "Honest to themselves" groups. The TWEENERS represented the worst possible contributors to the continuation of the game.
Now then are there really no places to place a house larger than an 8x8, specificaly either the large brick or the large patio?

UOR brought some cool things. Nothing will ever compare to the t2a era, the more modern gamer would most likely say different. But t2a just gives that feeling again. Factions was a great idea and they offered people to play around with viable pvp templates a bit more. .... and the log cabins were great. Other than that it sucked.
I would never really want to go back to it , or waste my time playing a UOR freeshard with less than 50 IPs on at any given time. Rock on.

Although I am not sure of the exact time when Origin sold their game to EA, I'm sure it was right around the time of UO:R. UO:R is essentially an EA version of Ultima Online.
I believe that EA absolutely ruined UO and transformed it into a completely different game.
Also, FYI Telemons UO:R Shard is a piece of crap.
JUST SAYIN'
Rose-free Ultima is the best selling point for that other server I've seen so far.
