Hello,

ok, so in other words:

Im fine to help, but only as long as they do what i want them to do.



Greetings

I think it would be more appropriate to say "I'm fine to help as long as they're also willing to help themselves." Which is what the staff failed to do. The constant saying from staff was "If you don't like it, play on a different server!" When a worse server came out, but with the clarity to occasionally listen to what the population had to say, the population moved there. And now Uthgard has the surprised Pikachu face because they kept saying "If you don't like it, leave." and everyone left.

It was correct this first time, but might be more appropriate to point out the gross attitudes of spitefulness and retaliatory sentiment because they couldn't have their way. All too often do I read comments like these from self proclaimed 'prominent members of the community that have been around since Uth1, etc, etc', and so it wouldn't be a surprised to me to eventually find out that the mass exodus from Uth2 was actually due to some blackballing from a specific faction of the DAoC freeshard community that mirrors this kind of behavior and attitude.

Something must have changed at one point.
Rumors tell a handfull of players on uth1 found a exploit to dupe every item they wanted without ever reporting this to anyone out of their "bubble".

No. Just no.

It just boils down to population; people play where the population is. Most players would probably prefer an OF/truly classic server, and so there is an internal feeling where the only way people know how to process their frustration is to lash out on these forums. For some, the constant reminder that Uthgard could have been the server and isn't, is a way for them to handle their grief because we all saw so much promise when Uth 2.0 launched. But let's not rehash history -- it looks like those few people still playing here are the loyalists and I'm happy they're getting what they want out of this server

this is the right server but they decide to go to play the other server? really?

Yes. Poor GM decision making led players to not want to play here, so they took the GMs advice and left. It’s pretty simple.

It was frustrating to play here towards the end of my time here.

Not the actual gameplay as such as my main was 50 and templated, but just the inaction and stubborness of the powers that be towards anything that might have convinced people to stay when numbers were dropping.

People asked for changes, some good. Some bad. But it was the same answer. Dont like it, leave. But the complete lack of anything to motivate anyone, even slamming an event here are there, did not happen. Two double exp weekends around launch was all we got. And thats it. Two events for the two years I played here, two events that happened in the first 3 months of server life. That my friends is the complete lack of interest from the GMs side to do anything.

PVE is fine and dandy in small doses. But day in, day out with little or no reward? Not for me and not for a lot of players. Pve versus the dragon, finns, pygmy goblins or even the 7 keep lords is not an RvR game. Sorry, no matter how much you say "well you get rps from keep takes", it means nothing if you dont fight someone defending it

I stuck around due to the effort i put into the server, but when pastures new opened and vast majority of people who packed in here moved to the greener grass, I followed my guildmates.

Hibs found something that worked on the dragon mob. Instead of doing something that appeases the low population, like making encounters like that slightly easier as less numbers, no chance.

Instead the teddy was thrown out of the pram and decreed that noone can play the pve game. Even the realm which can get the numbers needed.

Because all of what has been said already basically … and also the next big thing for this server is to pull the power cord out the back of the server...or wait till Blue quits the project and hands leader ship to someone else *and hopefully the next leader make the changes needed to spark some life back into the server*

P.S. to Abydos.... I have stolen your name on P99 Green... Your downgraded from a DAoC Troll GM to a lowly Everquest human druid that can't see 5 feet in front of himself in the dark/night time.

Oh so that's why Austerim was taken. Well now I know.

welp… blue server is still over 400... green is always beteween low pop of 500 to high pop of over 1000.....

So whos server does no one really care about when the top pop is around 60 at peak hours...

Man I get it you devs got work into the coding to make the original daoc.. ok gratz . literally the only thing left is unplug the power or let someone else take charge of it.

Abydos I hope you do get control of the server when Blue quits but I think your 3 or 4 down the list for it... I'd bet you'd make things playable...
also why not just open a second server with what people actually want? Devs would say " because no one would play the original server uthgard 2.0..." but here's the thing . no one plays uthgard2.0 anyway your pop is 60 at the top of the hours and its lower then 10 atm as I type this.

drastic your a scrub I had to give you so much ****** gold to buy wood and siege equipment on alb you don't loot it for yourself you just beg welfares off others... your disgusting.

enjoy your game, sorry you don't get population over 60 lolz.

sorry only thing looking forward to is unplugging of power cord to server box

You have some anger in your heart man. Relax and just let it go.

Besides the fact that there are certainly a lot of issues concerning the "playability" of Uthgard and the staff's behavior, I don't think it's necessary to keep fighting with the staffs using comments like "You don't get players more than 60 lolz" or anything like that, I mean what is this even supposed to say? This isn't any better than arrogant comments posted by them.

No matter what Abydos responds will be wrong from now on, let's pretend (yeah I know, I know, it's been said for years, give me a break^^) SI would release tomorrow. People would say "It's too late now, the other server already has it" or "After like a decade you come up with SI, wow", I am certainly not a friend of the staff's at the moment, but if we want to be treated fairly they can expect to be treated like that, too. I have decided to play on that mysterious other server, as a result of Uthgard's decision, anyone else is allowed to do so, too. Why keep attacking the staffs? Abydos is right when saying, "you have some anger in your heart", I am repeating myself: I am totally unsatisfied with the situation (mostly with the past behavior of the GMs) but tbh, I wouldn't want to read the forums all day seeing suchs posts like "You suck", "close the server", "you can't reach an amount of player more than 50 anymore hahaha", "be happy with your 20 player's server"

That being said, Uthgard community has become like a social media discussion of a newspost, you are being hated for anything you say. And after a while you leave it, because regardless of how the "pitch" is, you do it wrong.

If Uthgard really "dies", then they do. Play the other server (like I do) if you prefer, or Ywain or even learn C# and create your own server. Or if you know C#, create your own classic server. I am happy that I got to know this great server but stick to what Esme said, that even though I restarted after the wipe, it just wasn't the same anymore, in addition to how the staff's acted towards the players. But I am sick of fighting old battles and just hope, that the situation will relax somehow and Uthgard will get to right "appropriate conclussions", so to say. What ever these conclussions and decisions made will be - I wish them lots of success
