![]() The server owner is very committed to this shard and I think it will be around for some time to come. I know I personally have ventured around to vendors looking for good carpentry ones so I can stock up on counters and tables and what have you. I will add an addendum (edit), that some players do very well running vendor shops if they keep them well stocked. Otherwise, gone are the days of standing at the blacksmith looking for a GM blacksmith to help repair your armor (much is the pity). If you want to do BoDs, then go for it, you can make some good money and get nifty things. Yes and no, but mostly yes (could use some new craftables). There are some other custom content such as the tamer's quest, ancient MIBs and 7th level dungeon maps, holiday maps, occasional staff-led PvP tournaments, etc. In more recent times there are more staff-led quests/RP style events which involve usually anywhere from 10 to 30+ players. The holiday events are all pretty good and are custom (especially Halloween, which is probably the biggest and most looked-forward-to event of the year). I am sure someone more knowledgeable of the mechanics can chime in on this one.Ĭhamp spawns give Platinum coins (the "vet" reward currency, which can be had by other means as well) which you can use to buy nifty things - they are the only way to get blessed runebooks or ethereals for instance. My understanding is that stealing is fairly broken here and not really as good as it should be, but there are still plenty of them out there. Dexers have a small niche for holiday events since they can use slayer weapons for specific holiday creatures, and same goes for some specific custom content like 7th level dungeon maps. You can still use a dexxer, just don't expect to do as well as a mage in PvP, and nothing beats a tamer for hunting. Magery trumps everything pretty much here, and there is need for some balancing in this respect. ![]() I have no idea if it is considered the most populated freeshard, but it is probably up there. People come and go but the trend is upwards. The shard is over four years old now and recently just set a new peak record for most players online at once, so the shard is growing. God, it nearly causes physical pain, because I am missing UO sooooo much. If I put my heart/time and perhaps money in this server, will I be able to log on in - say - 2 years / 5 years? Or is the staff planning to close down the shard at the end of the year Is there a lot of custom content? And if so, would someone point out the most important ones? I understand that champ spawns are active but no Powerscrolls? How does this work? Is there some other kind of reward to get people starting champs (which on OSI always generated a lot of PvP when Reds were raiding) Hows the shard doing? Is the population rising, steady or in decline? Is Renaissance considered to be the most populated freeshard? I have a couple of questions and I hope that someone finds the time to answer these: And as Delucia is my favorite town this is huge drawback too. On the other hand, there is no T2A on UO Forever. As I understand (at least two years ago), West Bank Britain is nearly deserted on UO Renaissance as most players bank in Occlo? Sounds odd, but this is a huge drawback for me, as I have very fond memories of the WBB bursting with life. I am currently deciding wether to join UO Renaissance or UO Forever. ![]() ![]() That has changed and I am very eager to get started (after not having played for about 10 years). Although I registered on this forum a few years ago RL catched up with me (namely my 2 year old daughter ) and couldn't find the time to get back to UO. ![]()
