Special features, alternative viewpoint
Personally I want as much ability to provide special features as the devs are willing to spend time to program. The fact of the matter is if somebody doesn't like strange colors they can simply not allow them on their shard. If somebody wants an osi clone they can make one. I want it to even be more powerful than it is now. I want to be able to have races and the difference NOT just be a tag above the name, I want to be able to have elves, giants, dwarves and such which obviously look and have different characteristics than humans. I'd like to see MORE flexibility in what a uo server can do, not less. I do want gem armor and weapons, I don't care if OSI has them or not. If I want to play exactly like on osi I can make my shard exactly like an osi shard. I want to make my own unique monsters and islands. I want to be able to build brand new types of armor (not just a different color, but really looks different, like long spikes all over it), and weapons. I'd like to be able to build a MOUND (a hobbit house say) and when you enter the door you go underground. I want a "flame sword" that has a heat aura eminating off of it and trails fireblazes when it is swung. I'm in perfect agreement the emu should have the ability to create a perfect osi clone but I didn't leave osi because $10 is too much to pay, I left because I got bored.
