I think it would be awesome of this community banded together and started promoting the shard. A lot of us contribute some money, but I don't think that's enough. Players keep a shard alive, and we need a stream of fresh players to get hooked on UOR just like we did. So this is my first step in trying to see what I can do to help, and I know I'm not alone in wanting to do more than donate a few bucks a month and hoping for the best. Imagine you're trying to sell UOR to the greater gaming community, and they already "get" UO. If you had a maximum of 6 bullet points, how would you sell UOR? For example: Renaissance rules without Trammel Unique holiday events PvP tournaments No pay-to-win Rapid skill gain Fiercely loyal community I don't think we're going to fill the shard with 6 bullet points, but maybe this can help focus the conversation and get some ideas flowing. I'd love to work these ideas into a narrative we can use to fuel the many channels we have at our fingertips.
Classic experience without Trammel. Dedicated, and long lasting playerbase. Player driven events and quests. UO:R era combat mechanics. No pay to win. Individual and improved client.
Awesome community. Best thing by far about the shard. The best parts of era-accuracy without the drawbacks Loads of sensible era-respectful added content (taming, BODs, craftables, rewards etc) No ‘pay to win’, with donations and shard support affording aesthetic and ‘quality of life’ upgrades only (Copper) Full reward system for play time, event engagement and highest-level bosses (Platinum) Constant events and new content Updated world map with new dungeons, improved visuals and smart additions for playability Customised ClassicUO and Razor (thanks Quick and any others) Great new-player environment and support
1- No Pay to Win 2- Unique Holiday events 3- Designed for the saudosist 4- Staff crew always helping 5- Comunity support for new members 6- Perfect for lone wolfs and decent for "crew" guys.
1 - Of all the shards out there I strongly believe that this place was created by someone who has the same love affair for this game that we all share and therefore this place will last the longest. /end of the list
1 - No Pay to Win. 2 - Professionally managed, endless effort show clarity/transparece to players. This assures a long life, failing at this point leaded many servers to dead, so it's really important for me. 3 - Webpage database to show players information, statistics, ranking, kill log, drops, etc. I know that some features don't work perfect but still great. 4 - Community 5 - No Tramel. 6 - UOR mechanics. 7 - Additions like the "History Perfected" content that is made keeping the original look, no neon hues, no ridiculous mounts, etc. 8 - Host/network is pretty solid.
