Having been through six/seven/more years of on again-off again UO playing, and tried out more emulators than I care to recall (several UOX versions, sphere, orb, ...), I say without reservation that RunUO is the most stable, easiest, and fastest emu out there. While my shard will most likely stay private, I'm proud to be using Ryan's work. I missed all the excitement (having only installed RunUO about two days ago for the first time), but this emu belongs to Ryan and the Devs, no one else. No one has the right to the source code save by their permission. Whatever happens, happens, but Ryan (and Devs), know that many rational individuals (even complete newbies like me) are incredibly grateful for this wonderful gift of your time and effort.
