Nobody here, or on any forum, can judge you for your decisions - they don't know you, don't pay your bills, warm the other side of your bed, etc etc. In the end, what matters is what makes you happy enough to keep you spending your $$ in one location. We all have things we like and dislike about UO, and some of us have things we liked and disliked about other MMO's. And no, player justice doesn't mean crap in this circumstance. Unless those that own the system police their own system, there are no repercussions. The problem is, and always has been, the keyboard warrior mentality, and the absolute freedom that basic anonymity gives. It was one of the few things John Smedley did that didn't make me want to do evil things to him. If a report was filed, it HAD to be followed up on. It was less substantial a problem in EQ, mainly because SoE actually has a dedicated GM force that enforces little things like the ToS, AUP, etc. There's plenty of trash, abuse, etc right here in UO, which barely sports 1/100th the subs that WoW has.

And I did go back to WoW once on a free 15 day account renewal and tried it out for another hour or two.Īs someone that has played all the major MMO's except WoW (too cartoony - same issue with FFO), this isn't some sort of new trend, nor is it mutually exclusive to WoW.

Having said that I still get the occasional Mac Attack. The food is terrible for your health and the only thing that gives it any flavour whatsoever is the salt. I mean look how many people eat at MacDonald's every day. It won't be the first time an awful lot of people have supported something that was bland and tasteless as yesterday's pablum. Just the housing all by itself puts UO in a completely different league than WoW. In the end WoW is, in my opinion, just mind numbingly boring with absolutely no room for creativity and originality. There are no dedicated crafters, all the quests are really just iterations of two or three basic quest models. You get that nice glow on it and it just looks, well, alive.Īnd then you start getting into it, and you realize there is no originality, you can't be your own little snowflake, you are going to end up with a character that is exactly the same as every other character, down to the last item. I posted my basic message on the wow forums if that makes anyone else feel better.Ĭlick to expand.That's funny, I always thought WoW looked terrific, in a, as someone else already pointed out, cartoony kind of way. At a certain point the culture of the game became unpalatable. Best of all, I don't have to log in EVERY SINGLE DAY just to make sure I'm keeping up with the rest of the players in a never-ending quest for more powerful gear. UO is more of a game of having fun and winning encounters than personal glory or so-called achievements. UO has fewer divisions between players based on their gear or their ability to pump out dps. It's amazing how much in WoW, poeple are scorned for not having the right gear or doing the right amount of dps. The power of the player by gear has not increased as dramatically in UO as in a game such as world of warcraft. I've never met so many rude people in UO as I have in wow. Not being forced to have to interact with the "bad ass" players of wow is something I find as a desirable trait of UO. You players with a little bit of gear and it gives them a right to have a "bad ass" attitude."Īfter becoming weary of the behavior I've seen in a game like wow, Being able to solo some of the content in this UO game is calming. It's like they are handed a ticket or a pass to behave badly. You get a player who has certain gear and it seems like it gives them the right to be outright rude to other players. Using profanity rather than using words to express a persons feelings is also something which is common.Īt a certain point, I just had to step back and ask myself, "Do I really have to put up with this kind of treatment?" There's a growing trend in that game which has become more of a game "of me." People are in the game for themselves not to actually help and communicate the people who are they are with. Using words would be far better than one symbol communications. Players are lacking in basic communication skills. People simply are rude and disrespectful of their fellow players. And, I'm constantly shocked at the lack of maturity of its players. Simply put, a certain portain (which seems to get larger by the day) of people just don't care about others in that game. I've played enough of wow to know that the culture is twisted into something which is undesirable. I've been pretty heavily involved in World of Warcraft. I'm going to highlight the most important part of my message. Pointing out the most important points of emhasiss. This is a reversion of the original post.
