And that's fine, you can't please everyone, nor should one want to. To be honest, the vibe I've gotten here is that this server is being created by the developers, for the developers. Just curious, what exactly is wrong with that? This is their project after all; it's their baby, and they have spent years perfecting it. There's nothing selfish about wanting to recreate a game and patch level you love to play. It's 2016 and we're used to having simple things like maps. Instead of allowing potion stacking, somebody actually took time to code in a half way easier method of using potions - same with the LFG tool - they made one up rather than utilizing the tools that have been in the game forever. It is indeed 2016, and there are plenty of other MMOs out there with quality of life changes and a more casual friendly gaming experience. There are games where you can have entire zones all to yourself and there is no need to contest anything, or you can just go talk to an NPC and have gear handed to you. Free levels, instant teleportation, daily rewards just for logging on...and the list goes on and on. This is exactly the point. Many old gamers never asked for these "improvements", and were force fed them in main stream MMOs. We don't want quality of life, we want classic games; with all the difficulties and hardships that made them memorable. It's quite simple really...either you want to play at this current patch level, or you don't.

They are building a "house" for themselves, and they have already drawn up the blueprint and know what it will look like when finished. If they were building a house for you or anyone else, you would be paying them. Just be happy you aren't being charged rent to visit or stay in their house.

If they are not building a house for the players no wonder they will fail. https://www.uthgard.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=37632 Players can greatly contribute to a server if you let them.

Or play against a group like that? I have. Absolute devastation. The group that runs up against them can't kill them fast enough because smite clerics have sooooooo many tools at their disposal combined with decent ranged damage with 8 of them dudes doing it!

relvinian Phoenix Knight Posts: 1722 Joined: Oct 16, 2012 08:25	by relvinian » Jul 02, 2016 21:57 The guy who said better patch level and ignore toa was right. I played 1.81 on a classic server. No toa. xp off rp off no rps for greys rps while dead. it was great. Group pom group da etc etc etc. Why not that patch level? If they had put it to a vote for a patch level which was balanced and then said no toa will be used. I'm not sure what patch level we would be playing but it damn sure wouldn't be 1.65 But even sticking with 1.65 must we also have ****** that just makes the game slower and less easy? What about teleporters to avalon marsh or do you just like riding horses all damn day to get somewhere? https://www.uthgard.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=37632 Players can greatly contribute to a server if you let them.

However that does not mean they should sacrifice their vision of how the server should be, in order to acquire more warm bodies. More is not always better, and the server admins must recognize that they do need some type of player base to have an enjoyable gaming experience, however they do not need or may not even want everyone with a pulse that comes along. They are gamers that enjoy classic DAOC...they are looking for other gamers that enjoy classic DAOC, with all the classic features associated with it.

Oh yea, you will hear the exact same drivel coming from you out of some other never stratified troll about how another patch level is wayy better. If you arent happy then dont play or make your own 'best' server. Or buy that 1.81 from that other team.

It's a 1.65 patch setting server warts and all, staff appears to have little interest in custom changes and others opinions here mean little as nobody is staff. Uthgard 2.0 at 1.65 setting- take it or leave it but stop complaining over it. Or continue to and exercise your typing skills for a useless cause- for forum warrior glory!
