Since you played UOBZ, you would remember people like Vengeance, Allah, Whiz Kid, HK Nailgun, HK Lowkick, etc. None of the early pvpers get any credit these days. Even though you probably do not believe me, most of the best pvpers EVER on UO/UOGateway were on shards like those. If you played shards like those back in the day, you would then agree that those were the best days of UO, no doubt about it. Then again, you did not play in the prime of each shard, so you might have a different opinion. Those days are gone, showing no signs of returning. No good UOGateway shards have come up since those days, and it does not look like it ever will. If I were to rate the amount of pvpers on shards like Gamers, Defiance, etc., I would have to say that the amount of 'top-elite' pvpers are a 1% or less population on UOGateway. Back in the day, I would make that number around 25%.
Point is, the REAL pvp of UO is gone. The REAL pvpers of UO are gone. And it SICKENS me to see that people that have NEVER played a shard other than UOGamers, state they are the best. Now, I am not innocent. I, too, have said I was the best in something, but I think I have that right. I have been around for a long time, I know the best pvpers and I know the best pvp, and I have held my own on each subject, if not conquered them.
Earth_Crisis, if you truely played those shards I mentioned, you would have to agree the best pvpers played those shards. Every person on your list is someone that strictly played UOGamers, and that is what made this post misleading. Your thread is named 'Best Dueler EVER'. Just seems like it is really 'Best Dueler Within The Past 4 Months'. Then again, I do not blame you, because if you put people that ran UOGateway back then, no one would know who to vote because they would have never heard of any of them. Why? Because they are all new to the pvp scene. All of you that play Gamers as a FIRST and ONLY shard, are new to the pvp scene. I do not care if you started since day one, you are new. Just give more recognition to the old school pvpers...
Just stating my opinion.
