OSI develops new client

Don't get your hopes up yet everyone. After seeing EAs reputation with scrapping projects at the last second when it comes to UO, this client is nothing but vaporware to me until it is actually released. Also, knowing OSI, they will still probably goof it up somehow.


I may actually pay OSI some money again. The last time was when I bought my copy of T2A, played my free month, and promptly went to play on free shards.
It is a new client, not a new game. If you only played UO for the graphics you have some problems because even the new client graphics are low calibur compared to Halo 2 or Medal of Honor. EA will never get my money for UO unless they make the game fun to play again.

i agree 100% slayer, they ahve been known to pull a system or project at the last minute, just like the profiency system we were gonna have, they said they probably wasnt gonna continue it.. so ya.. we really shouldnt worry to much, until its out, and also remember - theres alternatives to almost everything

I have to agree with you on this. IMO, EA needs to convert UO into a 3D game... completely... no more 2D, they need to take Oblivions GFX and put them into UO and still have it be a god view game. UO has beautiful GFX for a 2D 1997 game... but, as of right now...they are teh suxxor.

I'm not saying it's a new game.

I am saying that I personally would rather pay for an improvement in graphics than a bunch of crappy content. I think their efforts would be better put in improving game play rather than trying to make random stuff for content. I again question the addition of samurais and elves.

I think that Samurais are too far into real-world culture; it takes some of the fantasy out of the game. Then they tried to add Elves to compensate for that, but they overdid it... :(

it actually came from lord british, he invented it, contrary to popular beleif that the katana has roots from the orient.

Meh, I wouldn't pay for it. EA could have done alot better, something to rival morrowind or oblivion. But no, they did this. Better then nothing I suppose...

Ultima 5 had a town that was *COMPLETELY* Asian, as was one of the main lands of Ultima 1.

While IRL we had Knights and Plate Armor, IRL there were Samurai. Why would a fantasy world be any different? No one complains about Kara-Tur in the Forgotten Realms...

Turning UO into an Oblivion-style game would ruin the feel. After all, this is the same game with updated graphics. If they turned UO oblivion-style, it'd become overly similar to games like WoW, Guild Wars, Everquest 2.

I don't think having UO look like every other MMORPG while destroying the basic gameplay style we've has had for nearing 10 years is a wise move for EA if they want to keep their players.

UO needs better GFX. Ruin the feel? AOS ruined the feel. But I do agree, we do not need to be the same as EVERY other mmorpg. But at the same time, Oblivion got it right the first time and AOS didnt.

Yeah, you sure have a point there with AoS. I just don't think going first-person or Oblivion-style third person is the solution.

Perhaps that they'll start undoing the damage with this new client. One of the UO devs did make it pretty clear neons would not be making it into the new client. It's a start, I guess.

What makes u think neons are gonna go bye bye, its a addon client meaning everything still exists from the past 9 years, thus the new client will have hued shit too :(
