Yeah ok, your an idiot. I love how the teenieboppers and lets be honest at this point the people who keep asking and demanding and expecting information are no better then whinny little brats saying "Are we there yet? Are we there yet?" to their parents when being driven somewhere. The devs aren't your parents they don't owe you ******, so stop with your crap and maybe they will get it done. Oh and if it weren't for people being whinny little brats I wouldn't feel the need to write posts like this one.

This 100% =)

Yep I would love an update. Honestly I would be willing to take a week of vaction just based on a possible release date for uthgard lol

Do I feel they need to? Nope. Obligated? Nope. Do I hope for one? Yep.

Either way I am happy to support Uthgard in any way I can!!!

P.S. i posted earlier that I would be willing to donate 10-20$ a month if it would help get more updates from the GM's. I won't do this though unless they ARE willing to update once a week or every 2 weeks or something. If they don't need/want the donations then it doesn't matter and at that point WE are working on their timeframe not vice versa =)

it seems you misunderstood the meaning of donation : D

Nope I understand that it means to give oney knowing I won't get anything back. It's just a little different in this case. I am still willing to donate but in exchange I would need SOME kind of status updates so I know my donations are still helping to get the server back up. i will NOT blindly donate to something like this when it is still possible that at some point the GM's lose interest and stop working on the project and it goes away. That would be stupid.

With a few updates every so often though I would take it on faith things are actively being done. No updates is TOO much faith though sorry =(

but not for the players .
It seems we have a new gamemaster,- Surtal . Dunno what exactly he wlll be responsible for, but always good to have another gamemaster. That shows the project ain´t dead yet

Okay so im not entirely sure about this, ive been checking the forums pretty much everywhere and and havent read anything thats official, of course i was checking via iphone so i got frustrated with the tiny screen and didnt look too too far, just thread headlines. Is SI officially coming to Uthgard? because i know about 20 people that would jump in as long as at least SI was there

Yes it will come, also including old ra's

I'd like to think so and have been checking the forums everyday for the past 2-3 months for news..

I dont quite understand the GMs logic and planning regarding the status if they are still motivated in running a shard, howerver, I can imagine some of them were pretty ****** at how people left for Genesis after 10 years of work on their side, rightly so imo. Hours and frankly years of work into development for very little satisfaction and moaning/qqing from forum users expecting things.

I would love to give something back to the community, but there appears to be no way into the project, even as a web developer - whether it is forum modding or something else to help. I can imagine there is also a bunch of other people aswell who would also.

Lets wait and see and hope there is a real announcement soon.

You are not the only one with that doubt don't worry, maybe they are using the technique to be desired as women do! ..well, might have changed this behavoir today lol!

Well as stable player till the end of Uth 1.0, i can tell you that Uthgard was already suffering population problems (on the RvR side) since months before Genesis (Origins) released his "final" server, many player (even some experienced here) tried to warn the staff about the trend of the player base about rvr, but mostly all of those feedbacks were launched in the trash, or marked as QQ/whine about higher RRs (and in part could have been true, but that doesnt change the fact that was a real problem). And im not speaking about threads like "QQ i get killed by RR11 can you give me free rr8" or "xp rate is too low i want x10 Xp!", but im speaking about real solutions to players problem about rvr (like teleport to the ninjable keep for the realm that is far from mile gates zones).

Well during this period the rvr pop began to decrease slightly until some months later when staff decided to beat hard on nerf previous customization (that everyone had played with) or "fix" some tedious things that had almost no impact on the gameplay but made game experience longer/boring (this also because some p1ss3d players started making bug reports with the most weird things possible).
The most famous things i remember were: Tajendi removal (because a guy on IRC flamed about the "not-livelike" thing about it -- but that decision rush doesnt convince me, it was in their masterplan already), then the following announcement about the Tajendi items removal or nerf (like 4k toons had to make a new template) even before the SI release (would have make sense if they waited till SI, where people would have been happy to change template at that point), then other small changes that followed this line, such as the alchemy Charges reuse timer that mainly affected the "Solo players" but also the 8v8 crews since many players used DD charges for rupt (or buff themself because of better value of charges).

So, im sure people shouldnt have left Uthgard that easly, but, everybody know that when things are going bad (and they were), if an alternative server show up, people would surely try it on launch, and especially if you know that you have a solid base (9 years of bugfixes) those people would have probably come back soon (also because who ever played Origins Beta knew that there were tons of bugs), so im near to believe that staff decided to close and do a server wipe for a real fresh start since a long time before that "occurence", even if they tried to revive the situation (as a last resort) with the wintery bonus thing.
Because seriously you can't throw 9 years of story in a trash bin after only (maybe) a week of 50 players online.

And so, here we are, waiting for "Uthgard is coming!"

Don't ever try to read this post drunk because it seems like one big run-on sentence and I didn't understand one thing of it except that some players quit because of some things and moved to Genesis. And then that server sucked so we're waiting on Uthgard.
