  • Probably isn't going to do anything, but put this out on twitter. Just wanted to get the eyes of anyone. https://twitter.com/ivghostix/status/1689668540461121536 It is a very sad state of affairs. It's becoming very obvious the last couple of years…
  • The journey in leveling is the best part of UO. That's kind of why I was once excited about New Legacy.

  • Back to your original question and post title, Grimbeard. We care because we love this game. Obviously some of us have been here since the beginning; this game is just so unique, even in 2023's gaming industry. So to see the lack of any real care …
  • Larisa said: OMG they will say something when they have something to say! Seriously, my thought is that it's internal testing atm, they had to set up a test shard to make sure all of the mechanisms and whatever else they are adding works. NL…
  • Mariah said: You make a mistake in believing that 'doesn't post' and 'doesn't log in' means 'doesn't read'. But to me that just reads 'doesn't care'. They see the official forums in turmoil about the severe lack of communication and stil…
  • Urge said: MacroPlanet said: It's no wonder the free-shard experience feels like it's ahead of the official game.  Feels like? There's 1 that's left this one in the dust both in gameplay and workplace professionalism.  If a freebie h…
  • Seth said: Sorry to say this but... the fault lies with the boss - Mesanna - lack of emphasis and guidance for the team to support the community forum. If the boss isn't interested in what the community thinks, none of the employees will care…
  • If they're a troll, then why do you keep feeding them? Let the troll starve. Don't give them attention and they'll eventually go away. Basic troll interaction.
  • Other areas of improvement include both communication and NL.  I won't beat a dead horse here but there are a lot of valid complaints and I just hope they are not falling on deaf ears. I firmly believe that this is the cause of a lot of the issues t…
  • keven2002 said: I feel like it's a bit hard to justify radio silence from the Dev team at this point. We are a week away from August which means: We haven't had a newsletter in over 6 monthsWe haven't had a M&G in... 4-5months? The last "…
  • It's hilarious how anything that was well written is considered an AI prompt. Please, back on topic. These are the conversations that we need to have.
  • "there are definitely other old MMOs that are chattier — EverQuest, LOTRO…" My point exactly. We can't say that communication from the team doesn't happen because it's an old game with no news to share. Plenty of other older MMO's are getting a lot…
  • I absolutely agree with your statement about how no value is brought to this game and that's what's so concerning. There are probably several people in this world that would be the perfect fit for that position. Look at Everquest, for example. The…
  • Karyn said: I don't know what to say at this point that wouldn't be a rehash of what I've already said. There was a comment in another thread about people leaving because this forum was nothing but people beating a dead horse. However, that's…
  • UO Kingdom Reborn was an exciting time in UO history. It looks like a really great refresh was about to happen to the game. Not entirely sure what happened or why it wasn't supported anymore, but I was disappointed when the whole thing fell through.…
  • Grimbeard said: Rocko said: OP inquired about the next newsletter.  You among others turned it into a bug discussion and an inquisition into Mesanna.   See it's a pattern someone ask a question the developers should answer of course…
  • Grimbeard said: This thread is exactly what Mesanna likes us fighting with each other rather than all holding her accountable  I'm actually curious. Has there been a time where change or anything came from people posting in the forums? Or …
  • Just wondering about this as well. Can we please get some solid information on NL and the alpha release? I think it's only fair for the fans.
  • gay said: It's not uncommon knowledge that Garriott isn't a great programmer himself, in fact he's even admitted it himself on multiple occasions. While his upbringing was in programming these games, that was only a secondary thing that he ne…
  • Karyn said: I'd rather not have Garriot back; I don't see that as the saving grace, some folks might believe. If NL is still a thing, the last monthly... er periodic newsletter said they were aiming for a mid-year Alpha (June / July). If tha…
  • Marge said: I don't Garriot back. Look what he did with Shroud of the Avatar. Look at where UO is now. I think he could handle his old property just fine.
  • I don't know. I just don't know what to feel about anything official UO anymore. It just feels like the love is gone from the devs. Richard Garriott has mentioned he has tried reaching out to EA a couple of times about making a deal with the Ultim…

  • Theo said: Ok, it has been 3 years since New Legacy has been announced.   Is this still being developed? Is there a timeline? Or is it dead? Beginning to wonder myself. Far too long without any type of content or announcement from the dev…
  • Hi Duke! I would recommend reaching out over at the r/ultimaonline sub-Reddit too. Lots of old vets there. 
  • To be honest, I'm really excited for the New Legacy shard. It's part of the reason why I came back to UO back in 2019/2020. I like the idea of a new shard experience that dives a bit more into the classic era of UO and is driven a bit more by the RP…
  • ^^is Richard Garriott?
  • I made a similar post bout this a week ago and it eventually was closed. The problem is that this topic always turns sour between the players. Honestly, I find it more of the lack of interaction of the devs to the players for the fault of the toxic…
  • keven2002 said: This is why I don't really mind running the trade runs for Krampus as it instantly sends me back to pre 2000 back when almost every square of Felucca was populated /useful and I actually had to run a lot of places. Same thing …
