Hey everyone I've always wanted to launch a server of my own and now that I have a few people interested in helping out with it I wanted to see if the experts and even just the creative people of this community are interested. Right now we would only be in the planning phase so just putting ideas together creating a story ect. Myself and some others were thinking of doing a class based rpg for Ultima and limitiing some of the excessive magic in the game making it more melee focused though not cutting out magic entirely. Granted this would be mainly for pvp events which I want to be a staple for this server that keeps people coming to back to play. I have a few ideas written up and ready to copy and paste to this. Bear in mind I wrote this discription for friends of mine who haven't all played UO before so it may seem a little wordy. I would love to hear your ideas and if you are interested either leave your email or post on here. Thank you for your time.

Again same as champion but for the Empire we should probably limit how many of these guys we have or maybe make it a promotion for good people.
Samurai (Japan)
Sword (Use sword abilities limited to Samurai Empire expansion weapons)
Bushido (Use Bushido skills)
Anatomy (Helps your healing abilities and causes you to hit harder)
Tactics (Makes you more accurate)
Healing (Able to use bandages to heal yourself, others, and rez others)

Similar but using bushido instead of chivalry so it’ll add a bit of a twist.

Anatomy (Dmg increase)
Ninjitsu (able to use Ninjitsu skills)
Hide (Able to hide without moving)
Stealth (Able to move once you hide)

Replacing poison with ninjitsu should be a good mix may make them a little more powerful melee wise but they will be lacking deadly poison.

Anatomy (Dmg inc and healing inc)
Healing (able to heal)

Mage (Use magic spells)
Spirit Speak (lets you speak and hear the dead increases Necromancers mana)
Eval Intel (Hit harder with spells)
Parry (Block %)
Resist (Resist Spells)

The more powerful arcanewise of the mage types but also the squishiest give them a spell channeling staff for looks so they can cast and hit people with it in a pinch.
Battle Mage
Mage (use magic)
Eval (hit harder with magic)
Meditation (regain mana)

Resist (resist magic)
Anatomy (Dmg Inc)

Special Classes
King (Barb)
Emperor (Empire)
Daimyo (Japan)
Faction leader able to go out and fight and mix it up and a change of pace to the fight we will have to make them pretty powerful but I think it would be cool to have them in and maybe make a juggernaut match where the key is to kill these bad asses
(Random Idea)
Deities (just place holder names for Deities)
Thor (Barb)
Michael (Empire)
Bishamonton (Japan)
Figured for special occasions we could throw in stupid powerful deities in the fights for players to control or maybe as NPC chap spawn type of fight.
Crafters
We can give the craftsmen in the game special quests to go find a specific recipe or tell them a place they need to go to mine some bad ass ore to make items for their faction and have those places guarded by tough npc monsters.
Tamers
Same as crafters give them special quests to get mounts for their empire or pets to use and control on the battle field.
Events
I think we should do an event starting at whenever primetime is for the server where the three factions go and claim three towns in Ultima for their faction then fight to take control of the rest of them. You can recap your town but if you lose all three your faction loses. In your last town (stronghold) the best player in the fights is selected as the king and if he is killed then your faction loses. The king will be super buffed though so it'll be difficult for the attackers to kill. I kinda wanted to make it plantside like where you have to capture the other two towns of the faction before you can take the last. Also I think CTF like games could be fun but ultimately I'd love to hear everyones ideas because the sky is pretty much the limit on what we can do with this stuff.
Those are a few ideas what do you think? Please leave me some feed back or let me know what your email is. Have a great day everyone.
