UO Second Age

Bye.

Famous people like myself will simply move to better shards without caring a single bit. And if you people keep being douchebags, I wont even be signing autographs before I leave. I can promise you that.

Why has all other shards come and gone but UOSA still persists forward?

McMunster's latest grand failure over at UOGamers : Revelation is a testimate to this and proves yet again how accurate my predictions are for these servers.

Who are you, btw?

Thats so true you were dropping wisdom bombs all over my face... Then I was like.. Wait a minute, what about that shard Hybrid with like 800 active dudes or any of the top 5 (UOSA is like top 10? Maybe?) free shards with mad votes and blokes. How dat is not what you saidid is!?

Thats crazy. Then I realized you were just playing around because you were star struck by me. Happens to me all the time. Then your face got more red then a washington apple as you realized you knew I was more important and famous then you, but cant really remember why.

Im Chubby Jesus, world reknown in the MMORPG industry, my opinion has nearly become a factually description of anything it entails.

Sometimes people have me mail them containers of water that I have dipped my scrotum in, they boil it into soup, and serve it as ritualistic meal blessings from the internet god Biz-zaie. Or in plain english, Bizzy. In most countries when people are discussing the genitails of a horse (Who the hell knows why though), they say the phrase "Boy that one sure is hung like a Bizzy".

Its ok you didnt quite recognize me, because god knows I dont know who the hell you are. Im sure my loyal subjects and followers will forgive or have simply dismissed your invalid and void opinions anyway.

Consider yourself learned in the history of the internet and your ignorance overlooked.

Now if you'll excuse me every moment I waste responding to unknowns, is a moment not spent making the world a better place anywhere else im needed.

EDIT: The forum fuzz has explained that voicing such unpopular opinions may be in breach of the rules here. There for I must apologize for my previous discussions of the server, its possible stubborness, or the trollish nature of those who refute making sure to use the name "Derrick" somewhere in their reply.

My deepest and most humblest of apologies if I had offended.

a.) That's incorrect.
b.) Then why are you playing here?

You cant out troll me, im like a beefed out billy goat who just snorted a redbull. Stop trying.

He said "Why has all other shards come and gone". So what was incorrect exactly.. Well besides everything you said between "a.)" and "here?", of course.

The most incorrect thing I said was UOSA being top 10, after looking the BEST I could find was a site that listed it as 14.

And the reason I am playing here is because I can. You writing a book about Bizzy Beast already? High And MIghty Adventures?

Ill check my doorstep in anticipation. Until then please go wait over there... No, further into the corner. Right there, perfect.

And UOSA will still be here with a vibrant player base and community long after you've found a new shard you don't pay for to complain about.

the problems with hybrid are some:
1 the economy is based upon lots of blessed crap nobody cares about(at least in ea servers a 2mil artifact do serve some purpose)
2 of the 800 online 400 at least are banksitting at wbb,300 are in del,100 are actually palying
3 im not realy into pvp but there the thing is a bit fubar'd,based upon alchemy and wands.
3.1 nobody never,ever leave home without 50x of every pot,4 or 5 wands,and at least 300 stones of useless blessed crap
4 too much of a neon
5 every time i try to play there i always come back here.there are a lot of small differences that i really dont like.

Looks like #1 to me. You should try real website hits for votes, not some proxy voters listed on ConnectUO who have 45 people online but 8000+ votes.

If I drone on with an extremely long run on sentence that makes about as much sense as a single penny people will think I have valid opinions.

Wow, youre on to something there!

I personally dont like Hybrid, but we will not dismiss its success just for arguements here to have validity.

1) Kind of like blessed tribal masks selling for a few mil. Cough.

2) And I usually see 350 online here, yet barely see a few dozen playing. I will pretend that this point is only JUST the same here and there, instead of the reality of this shard requiring much more macro'ing- which causes much more AFK players.

3) I guess its better if everybody leaves home with 300 stones of potions and even none swords have hallys.

4) Agreed

5) I just wish you werent a minority on that. UOSA has a very pathetic PvP activity status.

At first I was like oh crap I wont be able to even show my face anymore, this guy owned me. Then I clicked SEVERAL of the top 10 from that link.

NONE of them have this site listed as a reference. ROFL. TOP 100, TOP 200 (the ones I used, which are VERY MUCH the leading sources), a UOGateway something or other. But nothing to do with the weird awkward unknown link only findable by Korean search engines.

Then I thought to myself.. What if you asked lots of people who their favorite band was.. How many websites will have Justin Beiber as #1 and how true would that actually make it. So what I concluded is that you love Justin Beiber.

Regardless thank you so much for your response, it was fun to almost feel like I could be wrong. Its been so long since ive had that rush.

Blah, Blah words
Okay I am ready for my close-up

The best pvpers are on this shard, and people are still pioneering this game from inside this timeline.

Okay, so we have a large nerd base
But most of them are pretty cool

It isn't an easy place here on UOSA, of course there are some more inclined for a more comfortable environment.
We are people of a western culture mind you... , either you adapt or you find yourself on the side of the road.

BizzyBee, try to ramble a little less non-sense next time you respond after being put in your place son.

The traditional horribad RunUO default pvper's, aka guilds like +-, are unable to play a real version of the t2a era. If you're looking for the generic standard RunUO platform type of shard than you should probably look else where since this is not one of those shards. This shard actually replicates the original t2a era mechanics that existed and not some basement dwelling nerd's vision of the game such as McMunster's project over at RunUO.

I love how you follow "Ramble less non-sense" with a word vomit of nerd banter about god knows what. The most beautiful irony, which serves you cold far worse then I ever could, is calling something a basement dwelling nerd vision with such poise and grace that it is quite obvious you know all about what it means to be it.

The truth behind it is easily found by checking just a few threads, like I had done incidentally. You meander on and on about percentage this, hally rate this, and everything else that encompasses a cliche stereotypical basement geek.

I mean no disrespect of course, just wanted to point out the irregular nature of your attacks on whoever RunUO is, the guild who I have no idea is, and whatever else you were trying to say that was SO very extremely off topic.

The TOPIC AT HAND:

How about we move forward for a more logical way of doing things.. lets balance pvp .. lets end this stupid 250 horse tile movement ordeal or come up with something more up to date.. what made sense 12 years ago isn't always going to make sense 12 years later... your probably saying to yourself "everyone here likes it the way it is" ...sure, I don't really know and I cant speak for everyone (do you think everyone likes pvping as a mage?)... i have a warrior.. hes gm anatomy/tactics/fencing with a vanq spear in hand.. it takes him 5 or more hits to kill a skeleton..something is wrong..i cant explain that.. im frustrated just thinking about it.. Things have to be changed... i hope you don't go to sleep at night thinking this shard is perfect...[/color]

I know your trying, im not trying to bash anyone ..

What the OP is saying is that while its great to have a specific era (T2A, 99) kind of accurate, streching the limits even more then they already are, could help make the shard a better place to play.. And more importantly, stay.

The game was drastically faulted in this freeze frame of time and sadly EA had no idea how to fix this problem. So they crapped all over it.

These days we do know the problems, how to fix them, and several ways to keep things fresh and entertaining.

Tuning hallies would make it so there was more then ONE GENERIC COOKIE CUT build. Adding a new version of Factions would keep PvP fresh and active. Which its absolutely NOT, regardless of what some will claim. So there is plenty of things that could use some sprucing up in order to be on par with today's standard for decent gaming.

"For ideas on how to make Second Age a better shard. Can it get any better? Maybe."

Thats the heading for these forums, just slinging poop all over any of said ideas like crazed monkeys, isnt helping anything either.

So lets man up and come together with some thoughts on what could be changed to make things better.

You have given no one any reason to want to come together with you. You've done nothing but badmouth the shard, the staff and the community.

This is not an issue of being a mindless automaton. It has to do with being thankful for having a free shard with a ruleset that attracts a niche player base. All of your cries about low population and shard death will fall on deaf ears, because there will always be those niche players who love UOSA for what it is.

If you're unhappy with UOSA, that's your problem. Not UOSA's.
