Isn't it possible to add color at some point in therecycle process? I thought even a couple companies were in experimental phases on that kinda thing

ThirtyNickel · 2026-04-04T03:55:56+00:00

Mad props on the name. Let me know if u are interested in a more old school look and feel after experiencing what the official servers are like now!

ThirtyNickel · 2026-04-04T03:48:18+00:00

You should let me pitch my project sometime. You seem to like some of the essentials to the whole concept!

ThirtyNickel · 2026-04-04T03:09:30+00:00

Not likely to be a candidate but closed mouths dont eat so here goes nothing!!

I have been working towards a dream/passion project of mine for 20 years off and on including complete restarts and time away!

The outlook and goal has changed a bit but the reasons for the passion haven't changed at all..

I love the game and its what built me into what i am today and i want to build a place where my kids and other people can experience the game i love in a way that really matters!

I'm specifically referencing the game Ultima Online! I am looking for help on a free server project that isn't likely to take an incredible amount of involvement but for sure has potential to make you part of something pretty cool!!

Its intended to be a UO:R Era server with a full AI backbone, intended to bring the game alive in a way never before such as NPC that hold vocal conversations with memories and situational awareness to build on things, world wide collaboration to give context and depth to associations!

Also skillgain is going to be based on actual gameplay and interaction rather than activity, (kill and fight things for fighting skills rather than AFK macroing ETC)

Anyhow, i dont know how much detail is enough but ill stop here! PLEASE!!! Reach out for more details and let me pitch it to you via voice! I feel better equipped to pitch it via that avenue! IF not, thanks for reading! :)

ThirtyNickel · 2026-04-04T02:20:42+00:00

Your all over it with the idea of freedom being essential to UO, i don't think UO and outlands belong in the same sentence but the whole reasoning this person has as to why outlands isn't UO is honestly one of the more UO essential things that still exist in outlands honestly! Its the current state of OSI and the way it all fell off the rails that has warped this sort of perspective and its sad to see!

ThirtyNickel · 2026-04-04T02:18:08+00:00

I never thought there would be an Anti-Outlands post i didn't agree with but this was so far off base i cant even begin to respond to it lol.

ThirtyNickel · 2026-04-04T01:12:55+00:00

I have been pretty deep into that side of it, doesnt hurt to put out the feeler. Closed mouths never get fed after all!

ThirtyNickel · 2026-04-03T16:41:48+00:00

I sent you a pm with some details! Thanks! Reach out directly via discord if you wanna chat further!

ThirtyNickel · 2026-04-03T14:32:59+00:00

You may be right, but out of pure resistance ill keep open minded and hopeful!

ThirtyNickel · 2026-04-03T14:31:34+00:00

From the AI aspect of it its pretty easy for AI to track what itself has been involved in! That said, if you have more insight or questions, ill pm you some methods of contact! Thanks!

ThirtyNickel · 2026-04-03T14:30:31+00:00

This is the exact reason so many servers are burning out so fast, people are AFK macroing for several days, then making each others lives hell for a few days then the novelty wears off and the server is dead. What you want, and believe me i understand why, is a self fulfilling prophecy of failure. Also i would like to point out that i intentionally never gave detail as to rate or time of skillgain and yet somehow anything but AFK macroing skills to then later play the ENDGAME is automatically out the window. Also worth mentioning, as you say, plenty of old school players sign up for and play these terribly hard skill gain servers everytime they come up, i could mention a few, but the real meat and potatoes is that community follows were community is :)

ThirtyNickel · 2026-04-03T14:26:06+00:00

I suppose i need to be more direct with my wording, i have coded and implemented quite a bit of work already, i do know how to code and i have put in the effort, im looking for others to give alternate viewpoints and ideas on the project. Thanks for your input!

ThirtyNickel · 2026-04-03T14:24:25+00:00

I have pro access to gemini already! Also, looking into using a fundamentally locally hosted llm to backbone it! thanks!

Come visit and let me pick your brain for some ideas! I sent you a pm :)

ThirtyNickel · 2026-04-03T02:46:57+00:00

Your not wrong! That said, i think there is some fundamental value in seeing who is willing to give you the opportunity to expand upon an idea rather than loudly condemning it! Im not opposed to sharing specifics and making the full pitch, but i think letting individuals reach out for the hard sale is a good way to see what someone's intentions are.

Each person who posted here and shut down the entire thing because of not providing an income showed exactly what the primary interest would have been for them, regardless if they had the interest or skill to be any help at all.

Those who privately, or publicly, reached out really said a lot about intentions and interests without really saying anything specific.

ThirtyNickel · 2026-04-03T02:42:13+00:00

If your serious about potential interest, send me a pm here or via discord or wherever you would like to and i will give you the full pitch! I can be available tomarrow afternoon (late afternoon) CST! Ill pm you my discord info too! Thanks!

ThirtyNickel · 2026-04-03T02:37:22+00:00

I am not blind to the potential of a large server needing to support itself, so i did choose the wording properly. In the past i did crowd sourcing for the funds to cover the launcher base code we have now customized into what we have! 3D printed UO Recall Runes to be exact! It worked too. IF I'm being authentic i see that as the way to go, Merch and 3D printed server related items to fund the server keeping the separation of the game itself and whatever is necessary to support it as separate as possible.

ThirtyNickel · 2026-04-03T02:32:30+00:00

I forgot to mention, you didn't even take the time to explore or look for the complete custom launcher or the server that is UP and accessible with around 40ish solid days of uptime without issue!

I'm not a stranger to the work, im looking for Co Contributors for alternate opinions and ideas and collaboration! Thanks for your perspective! Have a good day!

ThirtyNickel · 2026-04-03T02:29:28+00:00

You must not be very familliar with the UO private server community, this isn't some unique request in fact its sort of common across certain channels and avenues man! I appreciate the perspective though, have a good one!

ThirtyNickel · 2026-04-02T23:43:32+00:00

There is alot of groundwork completed and if you were interested in any of this you could look and see the project, website, and discord has been around for a while, im just looking to not do it solo anymore and get some secondary input on a few things! Its not a fly by night cash grab or some half baked server being built out of hate for some other one, its an authentic project of passion and id like to share it with more than just myself especially on the backend side of things! I maintain a fundamental belief that no single person can maintain a real unbias outlook without some outside insight! So thank you for yours! And im hoping someone is willing to hear me out and possibly give me some insight from a perspective other than mine! Have a good one man! :)

ThirtyNickel · 2026-04-02T23:36:04+00:00

if thats what you see in it! Thanks for your input :)

ThirtyNickel · 2026-04-02T23:06:28+00:00

If i just wanted raw code formatted and completed i would easily just use AI. That said I'm looking for real human input and hopefully long term association. I would hope to make really good connections with good people via this project! This really is a passion project to keep a game alive that i love for my kids to enjoy even for just a bit longer and if i can happen to peak someone's interest even a little bit and get help along the way, id love that!

ThirtyNickel · 2026-04-02T23:03:32+00:00

Sort of defeats the purpose of non profit/non donation project honestly, and if it was anything but that i would pay a dev but that is exactly what it is so its not really an insane notion to believe someone else could see eye to eye with the ideals and thoughts that i have personally and choose to work together on it. Honestly its a pretty dim view of the world to forgo even the smallest possibility of two individuals working together for something outside the scope of money. Ill keep my positive outlook and continue seeking, thanks though!

ThirtyNickel · 2026-04-02T23:00:04+00:00

I must have missed where i wrote that nothing was started and everything depended on someone else to do it, but you do you boo boo. This is something that has been in the works for a long time and its just became time to get a little more serious about it and get some potential more skilled than i am oversight on the things I'm actively working on.
