Thanks. We're nowhere near done. We're just now getting in basics and setting things up. Our graphics are done. I have a team of 3 other people that are very good at what they do. That is a blessing.
We're going for highly custom content and a ton of new quests and features. We don't rely on donations because we can cover our own costs. We
might have them, but for a very very small amount and we plan to have it set where if a person cannot afford all they want, they can make an offer... but no $100 pets or any of that. All donation items can be achieved in game and are reasonable to get... not 300 years of farming or misguided
"chances" at getting something that don't happen. That's even
IF we decide to accept donations.
We just want a group of players that have fun exploring, doing quests and reaching out and killing each other from time to time. Thanks to knowing my staff for years, I can rest assured that there will be absolutely no favoritism or the like. They have staffed past shards I ran, and I keep up with logs
Hope to see some players once we get everything balanced the way we want to see the game go... like freeshards were.. for fun.. and memorable timmes, not a corporation or network of PayPal shards.
Those things irk me bad because I have worked for a few owners that started off with good intentions and then every item I scripted had some donation clause to it... so I left. It is sad when an owner gets upset that a mob drops an 18 use barbed kit when he has daat99's owltr installed because 18 uses on a barbed kit is way too much. The donation ones should have that many.... lmao. Not on my shard.
Hopefully those that play here will enjoy it. We're building it for you and value your input. We won't delete your posts on the forum if you have a problem or report a crash
Have fun! Keep UO alive! -Doc
