I've searched the forums over and over, and haven't been able to find any -current- information on this. I read that 1.69 was the goal of Uthgard, and was wondering if support for the 1.69 "classic" patch was available. I want to have the old character creation/log in screen, old UI, old sounds (like ranger bow sounds) and all of that jazz. I was wondering if Uthgard supports this dream/aim to be completely classic, and if so, how do I get the classic client?

If this has been answered before, I'm sorry. I've searched all over and haven't been able to find anything.

No. As far as the client goes, 1.95 is the earliest supported version.

Theoretical this would be possible but practical it isn't.

Ahh, well that's fine. Thanks for replying

Here Abydos is wrong, and just quoting something without knowing the situation.

I have maybe over 20 different client versions of the game, one of those just happens to be 1.69.
It does work on Uthgard, and most other free shards as well, but it is not the same as the 1.95+ versions.

There are many sectors that are different, and the locations of some obstacles are the most obvious ones.
This can be easiest seen in the capital cities.

Close to the market in Camelot there are walls that have been removed in later versions,
and in Jordheim at the top the entire building is different, and have two floors.

There are also many other differences, but in general the client version works just fine.

Abydos is right, 1.95 is the minimum required version on Uthgard. Layout of starter villages and so on is different.

yes there was stuff in previous patches too like in braemar you couldn't go up mountains without update, quite imba for casters
