  • I am just thinking in terms of new/returning players, and things that can easily be accomplished (easy = not requiring a revamp of game mechanics or in-game artwork), so a few more suggestions: Note: I bolded two that could be done in an hour or tw…
  • In the client section of the Getting Started page, I think there needs to be a brief discussion about the clients, because the Classic could turn off a lot of people, who are more used to what the EC presents (not just in terms of mapping and macros…
  • I think Getting Started – Ultima Online needs a massive amount of work.   I think some of the sections below should be broken out into their own pages, but maybe not, depends on how the page is constructed.I think there needs to be a highly-polished…

  • Since the title is generic, can we ask a few general questions? I have a bank check for 93,000 gold on LS.  Please say it's worth a lot more than 93,000 gold.  I've been resisting cashing in on a huge amount of various tokens, but I would happily s…
    in price check? Comment by Lokea March 14
  • Personally, I would like to see 2025 focused on bringing back returning vets as well as bringing in new players. While there is a tendency to only focus on people already paying, an influx of fresh meat new players would make many very happy.  I th…

  • Is there going to be a version of this posted publicly, and was anything new revealed?
  • Whitewolf said: cant attract new players when most people don't even know UO exists, When UO comes up in conversation most gamers now days is like what is that? or what that still exists? or hmm i think my grandpa used to play that. No where …
  • Completely agree. I didn't know about the delay at first when I came back, and was flipping out over not being able to easily place. I would get a 16x16 to place, and then realize I could go bigger, but it looked like it wasn't working until I start…
  • #3 So now we are at what I consider to be the most important thing - bringing new players in. I know a lot of people started playing as kids/teens, but I also went to the early meet-ups in the 90s and early 2000s in the Austin and Houston areas, and…
  • psycho said: I dont mind a new expansion, something new to look forward to, and lots of content with a big bang drawing alot of new/returning players. But please fix all of the above first. They have half-a-dozen people on the team. Try to lay…
  • My Horselord bows in terms of something that’s useful - they are apparently worth a lot more now than when I bought a bunch of them many years ago, and it was a pleasant surprise to find that out when I returned, They aren’t artifacts, but I still …
  • The questions towards the end don't seem too confined to NL, so I'd ask about what they are looking at for new and returning players.  As somebody who was a longtime player and who has recently returned after being away for several years (looks like…
  • If anybody is curious, there is UO content on Mastodon - https://mastodon.social/@emlyraa@mstdn.games - https://mastodon.social/tags/ultimaonline And BlueSky, although most of it's third-party shards. Maybe I need to start a UO-centric Mastodon se…

  • Pawain said: @ Lokea welcome back! LS has a lot of new names. The spawn is busy every 30 minutes during the hours I play. How would Atlantic players even know what names are new? Of course they deny new and returning players exist. …
  • KroDuK said: . it's gonna be studied in designer schools on what not to do in ~10 years. The only thing relating to UO that will be studied in any game design classes is going to be the era from the early builds in 1995/96 through possibly Ag…
  • KroDuK said: And now they trying to fix this mistake with bad design imo (more of nothing).. just the re-use weapon was already a HUGE nono.. at this point.. they should have skip part 3..  Re-using weapons skins is an efficient use of resources, a…
  • KroDuK said: @ LokeaI hope you realised you are pretty much saying noobs or returning players cannot kill imp and much prefer sitting aroung waiting for the champ to spawn to give him 2-3 bitch slap. I stop before Stygian Abyss and came back…
  • username said: lmfao yea all those returning/new players these days.... Probably more of us than you think - I've ran into a few new and returning players on LS and have talked to a bunch on reddit.  I don't know if we are noticeable to…
  • psycho said: Disappointing content means people log of or play freeshards instead, for all of us, thats no good. I get the idea behind making paladin content - and weapons/shields, but atleast make us work for it, and not free gift that coul…
  • Just to toss in my two cents, while I have a high-performance PC for gaming data work, and a ThinkPad that runs UO just fine, I normally use a MacBook Air for everything else (M2) and my kids are on an older M1 and Intel MacBook Air.  ClassicUO has …
  • I'm using it as a web client, get 60fps (could probably push 120 if I wanted to), it's smooth which blows me away, was easy to setup on my family's Macs.  It's one of the highlights I've found of coming back.
  • As a returning player who re-activated one of my accounts, with two kids in tow thanks to EJ, the more of these events that drop items more frequently, the better. I'm introducing my kids to UO. It's been over a decade since I actively played, …
