This is becoming a joke
The lack of engagement and lack of response from any of the developers involve with UO is sending a message loud and clear. Not only is there absolutely no updates or news for this game and what lies ahead for 2023, but the last big update we got was just confirming that not much work was going into New Legacy.
Also, I reached out by email back on Monday about an account problem and have not heard back as of yet. Even after a follow-up email.
I love this game. I really do. But it's worrisome when there is nothing from the team. How can UO be treated like this?
How do I get through to customer service to get an answer on my email?
UO deserves so much better.

I'm not saying it's right because a little bit of interaction goes a long way but honestly I wouldn't expect anything from them until late Feb or early March.
UO seems biased in every way towards meeting the needs of long time players without regards to the needs of the rest of us. UO’s lack of any meaningful response to innocent players flagged afk in the last event also really bothers me.
Can’t think of what else to say right now, but wanted to agree that I am also worried about the game’s future.
There are quite a few people who genuinely don't care about New Legacy at all and never have. I personally know many who were actually very angry when NL was announced. All of our thoughts boil down to one very simple explanation: all of this energy in revamping crafting, skill gain, new quests etc. could be ... nay, SHOULD BE ... focused on the actual game that we've all been playing and paying for for 25 years. All of these things the dev team seemed so excited about in the beginning of the NL rigamorale are literally all of the things we've been begging for at M&Gs for years and years.

We know crafting will change to a skill/time based system in NL. And skill gain will change. But, will their ideas make it to NL. Or end up as much of the taming revamp, items seen in the code and not fully implemented. After 5 going on year 6, it all should be in the game.
Then you have lag. When Mesanna placed the horse clicky at the 25th anniversary Faire, all the players ran there and there was massive lag. How will NL handle populations of all shards playing in a single facet?
when was the last time someone saw a GM? last week or so i had a couple issues with some things glitching out, paged a GM a few times, no response ever not even a automated response.

Who is excited about NLS?
We are paying sub for a 25 year old game, why should we get excited for a day 0 game. They should just pull out that 1997 CD and play straight away. True legacy, zero dev time.
Try that out and we may all get bored and just walk away after 1 season. Save time and effort for everyone.

For example; ******* has posted 10 updates about their game since the official UO team has posted anything on their front-page. Not only did *******constantly patch and update their game and let players know via an announcement, but they even came up with a brilliant new login system for people that have multiple accounts. Constant events that have happened as well. The devs are easy to reach and are constantly on their discord. I can't even get a single email response about a paid account from Broadsword.
"Why are you working on New Legacy? What a waste of time!"
"I'm going to cancel one of my seven accounts if you don't do X!"
"Add X to the UO store! Do it now!" (This one I find amusing... )
We can presume that there hasn't been any news because there is no news to offer. They're behind on New Legacy, and the existing servers are in maintenance mode until it comes out.
Not meaning to "apologize" for Broadsword or anything like that. It's a missed opportunity that we haven't seen more community/press engagement, more media, etc., all of which would help the team manage expectations, but be careful what you wish for: It could be a good thing that they aren't messing with the live servers!
@Pawain ; TY
@KHAN ; like others have mentioned , some people like to just cry and complain about anything and everything. Others like to help or like @Pawain mentioned, some of us play for so long that know how the complicated system work.
Freeshards don't cost a penny and their teams are more hands on with community expectations, hopes and dreams and build off that. Bug fixes are the highest priority and they do not hesitate to curb stomp someone that gets out of pocket.
The reality is it should be the exact opposite.
Glad to see some people are starting to wake up but there are still some people that will still find something like a semi-annual monthly newsletter as acceptable and "Dev engagement".
I apologize about bringing up another free-shard, but I don't know how else to compare the official UO team without naming a free-shard team.
I just want UO to be its best! We all do.
What bug stops you from playing? Players are playing UO every day.
No @Grimbeard none of the bugs you constantly complain about have any bearing on my play. So troll somewhere else.
you’re not playing the game”
