New Legacy Stream, very informative and good, thumbs up !!
I found the New Legacy Stream very informative on the New Shard and with lots of interesting things...
I love that it will be a no Recall/No Gate Shard and I do hope that the public Gates will be few and far in between....
To have Seasons with debuffs if one does not wear accordingly, is also a cool thing.
Ofthe questions about the Client i would have liked to hear whether it will be possible to use the Enhanced Client BUT with the option to use the Classic Client Graphics.... I would love to have this as a possible option as the EC Graphics I just hate it....
I also think that the compromise about PvM and PvP to accomodate all players need is a great one, this way, those who want to PvP will be able to and those who instead do not because they prefer PvM will still be able to enjoy the ew Legacy Shard as they enjoy... very good !!
One thing I did not understand, the way it was spoken in the Stream, it is "as if" only "solo" playing will permit PvM (no PvP) gameplay on New Legacy.... that is, that joining a Guild would "automatically set one for PvP...
Really ?
It won't be possible to be in a Guild but strictly for PvM ?
Also, it was mentioned that it will not be possible to "opt out" of PvP, once in, one stays in.... is that only for a Guild or also for individuals ?
I mean, if I am in a Guild that does PvP but I realize that it is not for me, can I leave that Guild and so opt out from PvP ?
Not much was said in regards to Crafting, hopefully, in a future Stream more details about how Crafting and the Economy will play out will be disclosed.
Overall, I found the Stream very informative and with lots of interesting info.
Keep up the good work !!

One question I asked was how skill gaining will work? As in..will it be as grindy as it is now?
For example...taming....having to tame and release Great Harts over and over...then moving on to Bulls...and Ridgebacks....will there be a different gaining system in place?
I didn't hear them say it was no gate/no recall, just limited to certain key areas with the ability to get a quest to get a rune to a random location to continue that quest.
Please keep the no powerscrolls to keep everyone on the same playing field.
LOVE the housing rules!
LOVE the climate/gear pairing, means more for crafters.
I know you don't wanna say WHEN NL will be live but I hope it's sometime in 2021!
Keep up the work on it. Pub 110 looks amazing, thank you for all of that!
I imagine it will be a tram ruleset with player push through and non blocking field spells.
2. You can be "reborn", this is a HUGE advantage for anyone. I thought the idea behind this was that the economy on production is too far gone so lets make something fresh from start...Then do it, wipe everything, every time. No keeping skills/stats. Instead make "reborn" allowing that character to reserve that name and titles and no one else. I can see people saying this isn't an advantage...well in season 2 while you are on day 2 out killing a regular skeleton and etc I could be out killing drakes/dragons that is a huge advantage with gold/items/everything.

I mean, I can already imagine on day 1 of the New Legacy Shard how some players will go with scripting skills, script gathering of resources, script farming for gold and all that to get an edge over other players who do not use scripts or other cheats/hacks....
Will there be a severe control about any of this on the New Legacy Shard ?
How ? The Client will somehow be tailored to look for players scripting or using Third Party unapproved applications ?
Some players argue that scripting does not affect others yet, I think it does and quite some....
If a player, because of scripting, can get things done since they do not put their actual real time into them, they can then undercut other players who, instead, put their time into getting those same things done... they can apply lower prices for things since it cost them nothing, not even their time to get them.... this does affect, to my opinion, all those players who, instead, in order to get those same things have to put their time into them.
So, I think, it is important that something more detailed and specific on this, about how cheating and scripting and duping and hacking will be addressed in the New Legacy shard is shared with us players interested in the New Legacy Shard...
I mean, we all know how the regular prodo Shards are affected by those spamming on General Chat, and they keep doing it regardless the efforts to stop them.... We have had several Threads on these Forums about all this....
Why would then be possible to stop scripting, duping, cheating and hacking on the New Legacy Shard ?
Will the Client that will be used on the New Legacy Shard have something particular that will make it possible to have it a "cheat-free" Shard, finally, in Ultima Online ?
I would really like to know it...... it would make my expectations on this New Legacy Shard change a whole lot, depending on what the answer to this question will be.
I decide to learn tailoring. I visit a tailor shop and he sends me to a Sheep farm to shear X number of sheep. I do the task and get some gold. Then I bring then Wool back to the tailor and turn it into cloth for the tailor. Upon completion I get some gold and X number of tailor skill points and a BOD like quest to make shirts out of the cloth. When completed I give them to the tailor and get X tailor skill points. Then I can advance to higher level tailoring duties to get more skill points.
Something like this seems more interesting than making thousands of shirts that just get thrown out or recycled.
For Smithing and other crafts, same Idea. Visit the Smith and he gives me 500 Smith ingots. I have to create the items he requests and get skill points and gold as a reward. Tinker gives Tinker Ingots that can only make tinkered items.
I think it would also be fun to get kill X Mob types and return to get Tactics, parry,Weapon skill, and anatomy skill points added to your character. Then advance to more difficult Mobs. Very Similar to Sanctuary quests and Percolem quests but we also get skill points as we advance.
Would make fighting a little more interactive. In both cases you also get points the normal way you intend.
IMO 1 year is way too long.
Hopefully, (fingers crossed) In addition to doing away with PS's, you will let me mouse over my bow and see:
A Mighty Bow of Vanquishing.
Instead of A Compostie Bow
cursed
Insured (hope to see insurance gone as well)
wt 5 stone
Hit Lightning 50% \
Mana leech 50%
stamina leech 50%
undead slayer
damage increase 35
physical damage 50
fire damage 10
energy damage 10
poison damage 30
weapon damage 16-20
weapon speed 4
range 10
That's it baby...to me, a great part of original UO is the simple easy properties on weapons and armor, the sensible dex penalties as you increase the AR rating...
Looted armor can be good again, GM smith's can make the best again, no imbuing, reforging, spreadsheets, special ingredients needed.
Glory Hallelujah and Amen!!!
There will be Lords and maxxed skills in a few days when this hits.
Go buy your stuff from an NPC now and see how long that fun lasts.
Just don't make us wait TOO long for NL, more and more are getting anxious!
Maybe PvP will be fun again. I LOVE killing people *Evil Grin* but once the unapproved programs started I didn't like it so much lol.
NL will be like that....everyone on the same playing field, at least for the first season...then whoever decides to be reborn will have a slight advantage but not an insane one.
Will be nice!
