Imho, one of the better ways to go about a futuristic shard would be to just use RunUO & the client as a shell. Gut it, and rebuild it from the inside out. Which is generally far too much work for the average 'oh hey I got a cool idea' shard owner.

I agree with Rhexis. There is no way for really good futuristic server to exist in the boundaries of this game. You said planes? As in flyable? How would you get by the tile by tile movement that makes ships so laggy looking?
Not to mention that you would need a killer artist to make guns, animations, effects, ect. Then they would need to have the same artistic style as the rest of the UO stuff for it look good.
Few of the already made systems would work with a future server. The Magic: The Gathering server would be about 10x easier than this, and I don't think that server is going onto shardlists anytime soon.

shes basically saying you would just need commitment to the project, not that its impossible by any means... you completely misunderstood her post.

No, she said to rip out the junk from the client and server files and start with that. Which is why I said:

By ripping everything out and starting over, you are making your own boundaries.

I voted for stupid idea because:
I never understood this stuff to remake UO art , don't waste time just make your own game instead. Uo is not meant to be other than it is.
Just make Uo different with scripts on it's time.Although it's your idea and if you think making thousands and thousands of artwork worth it. Go ahead.
