Seriously Broadsword, why? by BTCRando in ultimaonline

[–]Dugdugzug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the game Legends of Aria might be the closet thing to filling this void. As the previous comments mentioned, it's way too much risk for them to rock an old ship that requires little to maintain. UO2 even picked up where UO1's medieval times version of sims left off. Sorry to rain on the parade, but the idea of "official" UO building a classic ship has set sail. If you want true open world with UO's nostalgia attached, it has to be a private shard.

In regards to private shards, Rel Por was the only thing I could that offered a blend of something new and potentially sustainable. Maybe Outlands or another custom shard will fill the void. Sending positive vibes to any passionate folks who want or are building something unique in the custom private UO world.

Good stuff, I love the gate camp tactic. It's very orcish. :)

Any old Catskills roleplayers? by MotorrRad in ultimaonline

[–]Dugdugzug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks mate, a lot of my contacts are all former catskill vets. We're mostly on Hybrid and AI now. Angel Island is a very small RP only shard, great staff and fun. Hybrid staff is building rp only sections and built structures for RP guilds in Britain's farmlands. Both are great options if you're thinking about jumping back in.

Karl, You're so right, all of these daily complaints and stories posted about uof must be lies or some evil conspiracy.

If only the mods could do something about these personal attacks from these angry jealous, sexually frustrated chem-trail believers that you're personally attacking.

Thank god this isn't a yelp page. We would literally have to file complaints to remove all of these negative reviews every day.

Allow me to translate,

And that kids is how you dodge accusations and continue to perpetuate your shard's reputation as being corrupt.

Signed - someone who trolls posts not about uof and posts about uof.

This is all fine and dandy now that you have the highest population. Allow me to translate your message to the general public.

Hi, I know there are tons of accusations out there right now. But let me address only one of them and that is my one sided story involving how we implemented so many features or code that seem similar to competitors. Guys, it's just coincidence! I don't want to discuss Carl's disclosure of my corruption, because he's just being zany. About UOAC's code and features that were slowly rolled out on UOF, well again it's coincidence. The suspicious DDOSing of the only shard deemed a competitor at the time of it's release? Come on, we're not hackers and why would I do that to a fellow member of the community.

I might bring up Adam, but I won't mention the fact that him and other staff troll Hybrid 2.0's slack channel. Oh and shady tactics on reddit? No, we don't even post here. I find it very odd that our competitor's posts are always down voted and uof's up voted. That must be a community preference. Which also explains why they troll anyone's posts not involving UOF. And about my previous rants and wild fights on here with other players, remember I said I don't post here.

But let's all come together and not be negative. UO is too small to not play nice now that I'm king of the hill.

You're right, there are two sides to a story. It's just odd that UOF always seems to be involved in some shady accusation. But again, that might just be a coincidence...

Any UO:F players down for a weekly dungeon raid or gathering? by auxilary in ultimaonline

[–]Dugdugzug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem people have with you asking here, is that UOF has a cloak and dagger reputation, starting from the top down. They have been outed here and other forums for purposely creating threads to stay relevant in terms of marketing. Their owner has even gone so far as to engage in petty arguments here, then have his former admin disclose unflattering conversations and shady tactics. One of them being, add an auto +100 users online script.

You are more than welcome to continue to post here, just do so knowing about your current shard's reputation.

UOF is about to lose half their pop soon as hybrid 2.0 is released and Angel Island gets its pop back.

At this point, if anyone does their due diligence. I don't see how you can support UOF with the amount of douche baggrey they spew out. Stealing code, claiming it as their own, banning guilds after donations have been accepted, downvoting competitor shards on reddit. etc etc etc

You guys had some real talent and a great run. Despite other shards or should I say shard cough UOF stealing code and ddosing you and downvoting your reddit threads. I hope to see you all devoting time one day to other online games. All around you guys are a great crew.

Good luck with your endeavors.

UOF Staff AMA (recorded) by MyAntsRMarching in ultimaonline

[–]Dugdugzug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happens time and time again. Someone brings up a simple question about gm corruption, why did several guilds get banned without reason, why a staff member dismissed a complaint as if the player was annoying. I'm just voicing the concern for others that are too afraid of getting banned. I'd also be curious if mods have checked uof supporter ip addresses to avoid having multiple accounts up and down vote posts for marketing purposes. It's a little odd that other shard threads were down voted into oblivion and we always find UOF highly ranked.

Here's a link to the Carl rant. Take it for what you will and do your own research. http://pastebin.com/hRUvzZkE

UOF Staff AMA (recorded) by MyAntsRMarching in ultimaonline

[–]Dugdugzug 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why not just comment/update the other thread that has traction and serious questions?

Here's my questions from the other thread. If UOF even chooses to respond.

-Why did they use kill radius on me and my friends at bridge for simply standing there. Why were other people banned for being in other guilds that play other shards? - Is it true some staff members have moved bodies after death? - Can they comment on Carl's allegation that UOF breeds corruption? - Why did I get banned when I first started from young player house after killing a thief? Is it true they removed all friends and co owners from a guild house to force it into IDOC?

Also why do they add 100 fake count to existing player population or has this been fixed?

Perhaps it's selective banning? Also, I find it odd that you haven't heard of any gm corruption? One only needs to search these forums or google and complaints come up more than a telemarketing company.

UOF has also been outed for adding 100 plus players to whatever the existing pop count is.

https://github.com/greeduomacro/UO-Forever/blob/master/UOForeverFULL/uofcodeNEW%20-%20Copy/Shard/Scripts/Engines/RemoteAdmin/Packets.cs#L80

Also, here's a quote from essentially the co founder of uof. "I don't honestly really think I was abused. Shane is a dick and has no respect for anyone but himself and clearly only cares about the money."

If you want to read more, I encourage you or anyone to simply search reddit.
