Any chance of an updated UO client?

Archived from groups: rec.games.computer.ultima.online (More info?)

Greetings! I used to play on Chesapeake years ago (Dreadlord days..).
Even tho my account is long gone I am curious if OSI is taking any steps to
revive this once great game? If you compare UO to the current MMORPGs out
there (EQ, WoW, etc) it has a lot going for it; housing, a great tradeskill
system, etc. Is there any talk of them retooling the client to bring it up
to date graphics wise?

Thanks for the reply It wasn't my intention to 'pine about the old
days'. I for one was glad when they did the felucca/tramel thing because
so much of the PvP was non-consensual 'pick on the poor guy trying to
mine' garbage.

With regards to the client, I quit around the time they released that
initial 'new' client because it ran horribly. My understanding from
reading many posts since then is that people still opt to use the
original/old client which makes perfect sense to me.
My question was if OSI had any plans to release a 3d-accelerated client
that still stuck to the tried and true 3rd person, top-down view that has
been the staple of Ultima. I don't expect them to change it to an EQ/WoW
or 1st person perspective.

I understand that UO still enjoys a niche place in the market but with
the cancelation of UO2 and their refocusing on UO I was just curious if
there was any buzz about making moves to bring in more new people, beyond
just the release of expansions such as Samurai Empire? I realize this
will ruffle the feathers of old school UO'ers, but lets be honest; if you
pick up and look at the box for Samurai Empire (as I did this weekend at
Best Buy) it is hard to imagine them luring new players with those dated
graphics - and yes I know there is a great game hiding underneath

The game is still huge and crowded on the asian shards. Probably several
reasons for this, not the least of which is several facets of good
customer service like helpful GMs, banning jerks aka TOS enforcement,
local shards vs. EQ's everything in Sand Diego<?>. It looks like most of
the efforts to lure new people in will be made for that market.

I will sum up the problems with the game as it is played on the USA
shards in one sentence. The other day I was able to bank next to
"Canabis" and his white wyrm "poop." I'd like to turn him in to the
American GMs but the only outcome would probably be a black mark against
my account for bothering GMs while he is trying to smoke his crack pipe
or the last guy playing the shard other then myself would be gone.<sic>

My guess is that the "secret project" that many of the devs are
working on includes a new modern client along with a rewrite
of much of the ancient buggy server code. If they're serious
about keeping UO as more than a dwindling niche game they
really don't have much choice.

There's hope though. Check out Mr. Tact's new blog at www.mrtact.com

If they actually let him do what he's talking about in the blog
crafting could make a comeback.

I agree that the BOD system stinks, but you can still craft good
armor. My Samurai character is warring leather armor crafted by
my Tailor that gives her 70 resist in all category's. My Smith made
her a lance that has 125 luck, 25% increase in speed, 35 % mana leach,
28% stamina leach, + 40% added damage.
If that's not good equipment, I guess I just do not understand what
good equipment is.

The lance was made with a bronze, or maybe a gold. That is the
best I have ever got with the BOD system. The leather was made
with a Horned sewing kit.

I jumped back into the shards and looked around. My only complaints when I
played before was the crowds. Counldnt build a house, wilderness was all
suburbs, monster spots had more players waiting to tackle any monster that
appeared than were were monsters. Now its much less crowded, but I was
pretty disgusted with it.

On the other hand, the free shards are fantastic. The UO I loved, lots of
new stuff, no crowds, and with abit of looking around thru the hundreds of
shards you can usually find one that operates the way you think it should.

Actually I do use the 2D client. Not completely sure if I would use a 3D
if a different one were made. To nobody@, It wasnt "we" I was talking
about. It was "they".

I just feel that with the present software working on free shards, it
must be damaging to their business model. For the "buy a client, pay to
play" model to kick back in for them I think they NEED to create a new
client. If they manage to make it something that "we" would like, thats
good also.

The only poll I saw showed the 2d client as the 4:1 favorite over the
3d. Do you have a source that says something different?

I recently checked out Diablo, the first one, on Battlenet and there are
still a couple of hundred players there. This is down from the thousands
that used to be there but it looks like old games never really die.

A modern client wouldn't be enough to make OSI a leading player again.
It would attract a few people but not that many. I recall posting a long
while back that there are several stages in the life of marketing with
each defined by the people who buy an item. Beginning stage is called
'early adapters' and the later stage is 'laggards' as I heard it in
college. We are well into the laggard stage now.

Just saw a Xfire poll. WoW is #1 on their top ten list. EQ, SWG, EQII,
UO, etcetera didn't even make the list. It's only one poll of course but
telling.

I attribute much of WoW success to being able to exploit the laggard
market segment, but then they have always had that one in their pocket.
The laggards would be characterized by doing what everyone else is doing
and not wanting to try anything new on their own. Diablo with over 2
million in sales, Warcraft, etcetera let Blizzard become a laggard's
paradise. They weren't the first 100,000 to buy those games but the
other 1.9 million. The "Hey there Johny Laggard, buy a new computer and
a copy of WoW because we are all playing it. It'll be just like Diablo"
was always available to Blizzard. OSI went after it a bit with "Bring a
friend to Britania" type promotions but never really had market penetration.

I see real newbies all the time at my vendor shop. I drop runes at
the "Heaven" bank, and keep prices low for newbies. I know they are
real newbies because of the questions they ask. I also see very old
returnees. People that have been gone for years, and just returning.

The Atlantic shard is full, why would you want more people on it.

Because most of the other shards I have seen are nowhere near full.
Congrats to Atlantic, apparently...but what you describe is not the normal

I regularly see, and help, newbies - I probably see about 20 a month, of
which probably about 5 or 6 stick around for more than three months.
I would love to see a new client - I mainly use the 2D one, for several
reasons. The 3D one demands more of my PC, and even on a 'good' machine, I
suffer more lag because of it. Granted, this would be even more true of a
new 3D client, but as long as the 2D client has a fair-sized following,
there's not much point in changing. 2Ders tend to have the advantage over
3Ders in terms of PvP, PKing, grabbing items from the ground/loot/rare
spawns, etc. If you stock a vendor in 3D, it's a given that it will look
messy to the 2Ders. etc.

However, would a new, all bells and whistles client, really do any more than
the events to draw and keep new players? (or old players, for that matter)
For a short while, it would be 'new and improved', but that wears off fairly
quickly. There would be a new bucket full of bugs, as with any new program,
people would have something new to complain about, etc. I don't think that
simply creating a new client would do any more to draw and keep people than
the Samurai Empire expansion did.

Are people really more likely to stick around because they can see the
nose-hairs on an orc than if they can only see dragon scales after the
dragon is dead and skinned? A new client is needed, but as a tool to draw
and keep people? I don't think so. What happens when the next 'wow, look at
the pretty graphics' online game comes along, or someone gets a decent VR
helmet working with online games? Another new client? I'd rather see the
developers work on putting real content into the game, and fixing the ton of
bugs that exist, than constantly chasing new technology. Just my humble
opinion.

This means nothing honey. Remember when Windsor Fox boasted on this very
board of how he got a free mount, 1million in gold, runebook etc because he
acted like a noob by asking questions like how do you recall?

I never thought you would be this gullible Ice. Does this mean you support
scammers like your Friend, Windsor Fox?

We were talking about "graphics". There has been and still is
lots of things in UO that need to be fixed, but graphics is way
down the list, IMHO.

If I remember correctly, Koster had something to do with SWG.
I would not play another Koster game even if I could play 3D games.
Koster is one of the biggest jerks that ever walked. He almost killed
UO. If they had not got him out when they did, there would be
no UO now.

But then that is why you said that. Just to push my buttons.

I have a feeling I know who you are now. Its a shame you don't
