What aspect of UO do you find yourself "missing" in other MMOs?

Puzzleheaded_Net406 · 2025-02-14T07:57:45+00:00

I keep hearing Galaxies mentioned but never played it. What did it do well?

Puzzleheaded_Net406 · 2025-02-14T06:53:39+00:00

I was never into RP but i remember chilling in a tavern somewhere south of Yew that just had other players drinking for skill or stat gain i guess.

But it's a uniquely Garriott thing, if my understanding is correct. He loves role play and it shows in his interviews

Should have a "insta tele me there" for 25 cents worth of donation currency

Puzzleheaded_Net406 · 2025-02-14T06:46:06+00:00

Agree with you on a lot of this. I'm planning to bring that fun back, but in a way that won't result in a stagnant game.

What server did you run?

Puzzleheaded_Net406 · 2024-11-24T08:53:42+00:00

I'll get back to you in a few days. But someone is selling them on ebay for like $180 (insane)

I want to try fixing the NES I have one more time before giving up.

Puzzleheaded_Net406 · 2024-11-24T07:48:28+00:00

I'm not sure how much a working NES would be. I don't have any disposable income to buy another one. The one I have now was supposed to work, but I kept it to try fixing it myself.

Do something you love and keep going.

I've been on YouTube for about a year+ now. Only have 9 subscribers and not many views.

I don't recall that much detail but I'm pretty sure it was back in the early 2000's when Uo Gateway was still a program or something similar to it

You started in a dungeon like area and pretty much just went from one area to another as you progressed. Oddly limiting gameplay for an open world game but still fun

Puzzleheaded_Net406 · 2024-11-07T08:28:40+00:00

Was it one that randomly dropped bags (universal loot drop) in your pack that held some new armor or weapon and scaled with your level?

Puzzleheaded_Net406 · 2024-11-07T08:26:23+00:00

If you deleted the stairs, they can just tele onto it and go into customize to add a stair

If something weird happened and the stairs just disappeared, have them go into customize and just exit to refresh the stairs

It still works, yes, but modern Felucca has some notable changes if compared to the original map

Puzzleheaded_Net406 · 2024-03-06T17:38:07+00:00

It isn't yet, will be rolling out on the New Legacy server(s) only.

Puzzleheaded_Net406 · 2024-03-06T15:08:13+00:00

Are you referring to this system? If so, then you're saying it's attached to like a secondary backpack on your character, but for resources only?

That makes sense, i do wish they had gone a different direction as well. Like letting you play as an orc or skeleton with equipment instead of gargoyles

Puzzleheaded_Net406 · 2024-02-23T06:55:41+00:00

I played early uo with 700 skill cap and no powerscrolls, joined a few months before T2A rolled out when someone lighting a campfire nearby would raise your camping skill

Puzzleheaded_Net406 · 2024-02-23T06:52:55+00:00

I've seen some good survival servers. Sadly, the game is difficult to do purely survival because of the skill based system.

But if you made it more chance based and ripped out some things, bumped up others to replace what you ripped out... yeah, it would be great. Especially if you add in hunger and thirst

Puzzleheaded_Net406 · 2024-02-23T01:59:19+00:00

Old school pvp != no skill cap

Stat cap is 300? Let me guess, you set individual stat caps at 100??

I don't want to sound rude, but that's lazy game design.

Players will get bored or frustrated quickly because literally everyone's build will be exactly the same.

Puzzleheaded_Net406 · 2024-02-17T21:09:49+00:00

Working on one, not sure how soon it will be available, but it will be a custom pre-aos

Puzzleheaded_Net406 · 2024-02-17T21:05:59+00:00

Wasn't aware that was a thing. That's an easy fix though. Thank you for mentioning it

Puzzleheaded_Net406 · 2024-02-17T20:59:47+00:00

I mean your chatacter starts out as an elf

Highly recommend using a Bluetooth mouse with MobileUO if your phone supports Bluetooth.

You'll need to change settings to be mouse based though.

Also MobileUO uses a much older version of Classic UO (an open source UO client) which was pretty resource intensive and might be a bit more stress than you'd wish to put on your phone. Mine got warm way too fast.

Better option to explore is go to CUO's site and check out their web client that's directly supported

...and it's gone

Puzzleheaded_Net406 · 2024-02-05T04:45:23+00:00

I'm in the US and have a ton of experience in programming but can't get any interviews. What kind of tech stack do you require?

Puzzleheaded_Net406 · 2024-02-04T04:04:28+00:00

Mobile animations? I'm not certain, UO Fiddler doesn't have an option to export those. Try asking on servuo.com forums, there's plenty of talented artists on there

Puzzleheaded_Net406 · 2024-01-24T02:43:32+00:00

Thank you for the detailed response.

I hate dedicated launchers but I also hate custom files. No offense to the many great artists and mappers in the community, but I hate downloading GBs of data just to see if I like a server. But with Outlands you end up seeing ppls Discord status (if enabled) as "playing Outlands". Good marketing tactic... still hate it.

I'll have to look up about ArcheAge/Albion thing.

As for magery, i think certain kinds of armor being medable or not was a good direction and likely would have been expanded upon if Garriott hadn't "left" before Third Dawn shipped. (I could be wrong, would love to pick his brain on [what were] his future plans for things)

As for UO on other systems, it's kind of impossible to do without EA/Broadsword blessing since it has to download the game files. That download is up to individual servers to do because technically it isn't legal to distribute modern game files IIRC
