3 Reasons Not To PVP in 2023
I PVP'd during chaos/order and during the early years of Factions. Both were fun. I did not PK and I was a little late for the halcyon days of Dread versus Anti.
Here are the reasons:
1. You have to script or use 3rd party apps to be competitive
2. Very few mature PVP'ers
3. See number 1

I've been playing a thief 20 years so i'm pretty good at what i can do and i had trouble keeping up. Even standing still with their pack open i still had a 50/50 shot before their auto insure hit. This also applies to this years eggs as well. Don't forget the piles of auto attack characters in the Destard event too.
These are only events. Now imagine those frustrations being an everyday issue in the 1 thing you love to do in UO and probably about the only thing that keeps you logging in. PvPers have and always will be treated like orphan kids nobody wants even though they're the ones buying all the loot.
I honestly think Yoshi falls under the last portion of my above statement.
I couldn't imagine being so frustrated and not being able to voice those frustrations because of a TOS in the only place a dev MIGHT respond. Like real protests, the only way to achieve change is to have open dialogue.
if you visited uo.com and followed the links to buy game time code and site was down, maybe you send an email and you wait. Okay no response after many months, then still can’t buy game time code, then your house or castle turns idoc. You should be condemned for buying code from third party supplier?
quit demonising the housewives that just want to:
play a game
if you play in trammel it’s same subscription cost if you play in fel but they don’t fix fel bugs because??
stop criminalising players. We all love to play the same game”
Or PvP is not about those things? Its just your robot against mine?
so people must use script to auto box
if there was debuff, you would be using your reactions to press trapped box macro,
and not need to have it automatic.
you and Rorschach biggest problem that make people use 3rd party client, writing stuff and interfering with stuff when you never stepped foot in fel and have no plans to”
are you meaning people trash talk?
if that is the case, I don’t experience any of it as
a) I don’t log into general chat
(b) my vision problem means I can’t read much over head chat)
but people v rarely type things in overhead chat as they’re normally too busy fighting to multitask
I think we enjoy a good rapport with rival guilds, if we lose a fight very often they will ask if we’re returning etc and we will say yes give us x mins or no we give up so people not waiting around for nothing.
Even sometimes if we are bored and want some fights you can ask certain players to start some trash talk in discord to get people to bite and log in. Almost like the trash talk is someone’s job as PR to get the action going.
i get very annoyed if one of our guild members kicks a rival from our public discord channel for trash talking because that is what it is there for, even if they are a douche
also, if you don’t like to use scripts, and someone kills you, (I don’t do this) but you could just say it don’t count as they are using cheats. But I will tell you, they find it very very embarrassing when they get owned and you share screenshot using uoassist and normal client. You know it really gets to them when they deny and say they lost con or something. You show how much they suck when they are killed by someone with client that don’t even work properly”
Please make the Grizzled Mare a 5 slot mount, it's incredibly rare and deserves it. Some of us have been waiting a long time for this simple addition.

Some Games make use of them and actually make life more difficult to cheaters, sometimes a whole lot, depending on what the Anti-Cheat software for that game is and what Third Party it can detect and stop from being used with that game Client, some other games do not....
If all the PvP guilds are requiring you to use illegal clients then every one of you ARE CHEATING including you.
Marketing information like this has been around for +20 years & why its been ignored is beyond me :
“Recent studies show 96 percent of customers will not complain, and 91 percent will simply never return.”

With the sheer numbers complaining over the years of rampant cheating in UO, I’m truly baffled why more hasn’t been done to address it. It time, just how many players one of the greatest online games has lost due to this will be a dire warning to any serious future game developers.
I was against punkbuster as i still am. I don't remember any communication from whatever team was in charge at the time about what could be seen or flagged on the player computer.
My biggest issue was the fact that i do enjoy some of the freebie shards like many others that play here and we all know it takes a non official assistant to log into these. We couldn't even get confirmation if having this assistant loaded but not running during play here would cause sanctions to our accounts or flat blocked from logging in.
Think the big problem is Mesanna sees these players as just another subscription so doesn't care. She doesn't have the foresight to realize, as many others have said, that the silent majority of people just quit and say nothing.
Constant regurgitated (and heavily botted) ToTs and letting these 3rd party programs run rampant will be the end of UO. Perhaps we can take a quick break from the new game and give your current subscribers some love @Mesanna ?
I will be slow to reply because I cannot log in/stay logged in to the forums.
