HAIL AND WELL MET!

[Fides]

Hail all...and well met!

VERY longtime uo player here (since 97). And have been active ever since (not OSI shards of course). Stopped playing OSI shortly after Trammel came out (who didnt....lol). I have been on and off several player ran shards over the years and have peaked at this shard a couple times. I made an account here about a year ago, but after i logged in once, for some reason I didn't log in again. I'm back now and this time i'm seriously considering becoming an active player. Before I invest the many many hours into uo as I once did I DO have quite a few questions that aren't really covered in the "welcome" section. If anyone would be so kind to help me out

Some of these may already be covered in certain sections of the site, and if i overlooked them my mistake.

1.) Statloss present? if so what ruleset?
2.) Is housing land full? If so, is it hard to buy a house? (IE Economy/new player-wise)
3.) Is this shard really that populated? (by the looks of the 'online' tracker and the screenshots ive seen it looks to be, but it always helps to get the real answer from the fellow playerbase)
4.) How close would you say this is to T2A - THE GOLDEN AGE of Ultima Online (scale from 1-10...10 being best and closest).
5.) How active is the PVP community here? How active are pk's? It's always great to have a good balance between reds/blues/noto pk's etc.
6.) Are there veteran rewards for vet accounts?
7.) Are player ran events often here? Also are shard ran events populated?
8.) How populated are the towns besides brit? is moonglow populated? what about del?

Thanks for answering for those who put time into doing so...Hope i didn't ask too many questions, but I want to make sure that I really am getting into something ive been hoping and wishing for ALL these years (A healthy, populated, plentiful t2a shard).

Thanks!

HAIL AND WELL MET INDEED


hehe i'll try and answer some questions for ya.

1.) Statloss present? if so what ruleset?
I don't know!

2.) Is housing land full? If so, is it hard to buy a house? (IE Economy/new player-wise)
Not quite full yet. Lots of places for small homes and even larger, but most of the good places taken.

3.) Is this shard really that populated? (by the looks of the 'online' tracker and the screenshots ive seen it looks to be, but it always helps to get the real answer from the fellow playerbase)
It's quite populated in my opinion. At peak times, you gotta fight for spawns, resources, etc.

4.) How close would you say this is to T2A - THE GOLDEN AGE of Ultima Online (scale from 1-10...10 being best and closest).
I would say a 7/10. The game is here, but the community is different from what it was. I find that a lot of people come to this shard for griefing and pk. It wasn't like in the old times when people had no choice but to exist in one world together.
5.) How active is the PVP community here? How active are pk's? It's always great to have a good balance between reds/blues/noto pk's etc.
In a way I think this shard is almost all PVP. PKs are VERY active. Even blues try to kill you.

6.) Are there veteran rewards for vet accounts?
Not sure!

7.) Are player ran events often here? Also are shard ran events populated?
Quite a few player ran events. Shard events are popular.

8.) How populated are the towns besides brit? is moonglow populated? what about del?
I'm surprised to find towns besides Britain to be populated here. I guess people try to avoid Britain because of all the thieves. But Moonglow, Delucia, and Jhelom have a reasonable population. Some towns are lonelier, like Trinsic, but there is always someone there in my experience.
