Some of the largest free servers are fel only. As a matter of fact they also are larger than demise without the botting as well.Calvin wrote:they added tram because no-one could play, because so many people are dicks...
that's why fel is always empty. because the dickery ruins the game for the majority of players. if they didn't make tram, the game would have died out almost immediately.
the very fact they had to make tram, shows it's not a pvp game. because if it was, it would have more mechanics for pvp. things like wandering groups of guards, etc.
they had to change the rules of the game, because they didn't anticipate how much people are dicks.
The lack of skill comes from this server's mechanics and allowance of scripts, osi-mechanics requires skill to be good at a mage in particular. As per the para, efield combo, this is easy to get out of, you simply need to use your trap pouch, sometimes they can sync it, in that case you will probably die but if you're quick enough with a mage you can use protection then teleport out. Also "trickery" is something you need to overcome, there are many games that have "cheese tactics' but the good players (at pvp) are able to overcome those things. I've died to fields before but it is something I can overcome most the time bc i know how to deal with them. The other tactic is to have your friend dispel field a tile for you. This is a pvm and pvp game, it was created to incentivize people to play how they want to, but this game overall is probably one of the better pvp games in history simply because there are counters to almost everything and skill does matter. Now as for demise, this isn't as true simply because scripting is allowed.Calvin wrote:if it was a matter of skill then i'd play, i like pvp games. but it's not, it's a matter of trickery and lameness. who has the best sneaky tactic, or item.
it's disgusting.
who can exploit something better, who can get more people on their side, who can trap someone on some terrain they didn't know about; etc.
i mean, in a way it's good because it's so open and free, but the problem with freedom is always that people are dicks. this is why we have to have laws and stuff, and tell you 'god will punish you' etc.
this is why we cant have nice things.
well there are no other games with as much freedom to troll as original UO, because original UO was one of the first ever MMOs, and it highlighted the problemThe Silvertiger wrote:Some of the largest free servers are fel only.

it's just annoying man.. a player versus player game should tie down as many variables as possible, balance what is different, and have the only competing factor as the player's skill.Josh wrote:sensible stuff
Nah, every mmorpg is like that, it's as many people who can group together and cooperate vs another group doing the same thing. Yes there are scenarios where even fights happen, but this can happen in uo aswell. Also football is a totally different game . The great thing about this game is that it can be super complex and to be super successful you have to build a community of people to help each other. Every mmorpg combines strategy and skill. Yes there is equipment and that matters but unlike other mmorpgs the armor is not so overpowered that the person becomes unbeatable. There are many people who had a better suit than me currently but even back in the day when i had to run 40 poison resist and 3 mod armor. I still through teamwork with my friends killed a lot of people. The beauty of uo is there is always a potential to outplay someone as a solo player or as a group, (obviously a solo player will be significantly less of a threat than another team). I like how pvp is on uo, maybe some things arent perfect but from my perspective it's one of the more better mmorpgs still to date (mechanics wise, i fucking hate crowd control and tanks, uo only has a few forms of cc with walls/parafields/efield/paralyzeblow/paralyze).Calvin wrote:could you imagine a football game with UO rules
like, you just have as many players as turn up, they can have as much equipment as they can carry, and if it's physically possible they're allowed.
it'd be fucking mental.

you can re-purpose a game i suppose by making mods, but then they change the game rules to fit the new purpose.
I don't know what you're getting at, but most of the players on those servers are pvmers. Just because someone kills you doesn't mean they are trying to troll you. If they wanted to troll you they'd just lay down efields and leave you alive.Calvin wrote:well there are no other games with as much freedom to troll as original UO, because original UO was one of the first ever MMOs, and it highlighted the problemThe Silvertiger wrote:Some of the largest free servers are fel only.
