TL;DR - Shut up dave your drunk.

I've heard the "best after everyone good quit" line in UO since 99. It's not more true then, than it is now. There have been really good people at several aspects of UO, not as many great at many areas. Seems like most of the best in one genre dedicated so much effort to that, they let the other facets of UO slide.

I've got bad news for anyone who's attempting to be the best ever, or the best at any insert date in UO history...... it's going to be highly subjective and rarely important enough to dwell on. I stopped trying to be the best at any facet of UO when I was still a teenager. From that point I went from trying to be the best, to just trying to have as much fun as possible in my spare time. It was a truly liberating experience, hopefully it's still within grasp for some folks.

The problem with trying to be the best ever, is you have to dedicate a lot of time to it, lie to yourself and often lie to everyone else. Every loss has to have a reason, every win has to be effortless. If those 2 conditions are not met, you have to start being selective in how and when you fight so as not to tarnish the fake image of being some sort of [insert style here UO god]. If being the best is the only way you have fun, I can see why the shards a ghost land now-a-days. *Sigh*

Iron sharpens Iron, it's hard to get better with such a low roster of people, and the supposed cream of the crop always linger in the background spouting rhetoric about why this person is that or they are this, and in that endless struggle to front (even if that is not a front, rather valid information) the end result is less people playing - not more. Everyone who's good who quit, ended up quitting because everyone who wasn't good also quit. You cannot sustain a shard on just the people who min/max the game - elite peoples ego's won't and can't handle that kind of stressor. You need weak to attract sharks, you need population to get enough of a spread for that to find it's own balance. It's not like people wouldn't come back if the shard was still popping 1k+ there would be enough people the gambit of skills that everyone could find something enjoyable to do.

I have got to stop writing useless walls of text when my main point is play more talk less. Oh well, what can a never was/ borderline has-bin do. My words have and always will fall on deaf ears.

Nah, you said it well. The major reason I have quit playing is because a large amount of players have quit across all skill level. The last time I played it was mainly to teach my friend alchy, and in the mean time I dueled the few people that played and joined the tournaments they hosted. And while the overall skill level of tournaments might be sharper in some aspects, I don't think it will ever beat the experience of having 100+ people watching you nearly every round like back in the day. Tournaments are missing something, and its the little aspects like this that defeat the experience for me.

Unfortunately, I like to read what's going on around these forums but the only other people that still post are people that lie/slander about me.

Either way, I've said plenty of times the only way to retain players is to treat people with some modicum of respect. But it just won't happen with today's top duelers anymore, because they probably feel they have to dish out the trash they took when they were noobs by the top 3%. Unfortunately, there is no bottom feeders any more because nobody in their right mind would play this old, dying game especially when being spammed racist remarks. I saw the detriments of this atmosphere for the past few years, so I've always tried to give people respect in the pits when I was unaware who they were, or how little skilled they may have been.

In the end, Ryan and friends can make all the changes in the world. The way people attack each other for literally no gain is more than enough task to nail the coffin.

So why not make fun of fat mamma's boy mickey 'late night' moped at this point? He's the same loser that talks shit on anybody for anything, and is more delusional then you can even fathom, rofl.

In my opinion its not the players that ruined this server. Its the lack or respect from the staff.

They give ZERO fucks about the players. I've witnessed so much illegal shit.
Every staff member has their own set of rules. Atleast thats why I quit/never donated.

I enjoyed playing with the friends i made here over the years like outkast, tyler, rarae, basejumper and wedge.
but its not the rules/wands/hybrid armor that drove me away.

i dont think that is something ryan can fix

thats another thing that really sucked about the server. Implementation of great staff members like craig and then allowing irl gold selling. Jesus.

Heavy smoker is usually wrong, but at least when he was gm he didnt taunt it around and threaten to harass players. I once scammed black sheep for a skeleton with meat rare, and it somehow vanished ( I didnt know he was GM at the time) so I paged in asking where it went and was told I didn't lock it down by him on his GM. I had a screen shot of the skeleton with meat even saying it was locked down, and when I found out he was a gm and just removed it was about the time i stopped caring about pixels.

This is a game where staff needs to be moderated. Too much little shit can completely fuck over the shard. And if Ryan takes 2+ years of absences and loses his watch dogs in mark and lynn and even tessa, what does he expect to happen?

After closer inspection none of my characters have yellow hair. Did you just post a bunch of random screenshots of somebody to make your list longer of times you portray that you've killed me?

I see. I guess having 90% of my deaths to you be because of stuns is okay. Isn't that your main thing that you say? Any scrub can kill somebody due to a stun, regardless of skill?

Honestly, you're trash and you bring nothing to the subject.



well, cool

You have a few pictures of me dying. That's all it takes to get my ass handed to me? I hit rank 1 with a 5.5 to 1 win ratio against people like you and tet etc, who were the top ranked at the time. Your characters all have deaths equaling your wins.

So I guess over the course of 5-6 years you've killed me a few times. Grats

You're still trash, and nowhere near as good as good as you think ;)
