EPTIf IPY2 gets big and I see some old friends on there, I'll join up too.. But based on history(hundreds of free shard and the result of the first IPY), it doesn't look promising.

It's a race, and you have the opportunity kick scratch and crawl in an attempt to push everyone else out of your way while you reach for the top (which, BTW, is fucking awesome as shit). But I guess you'll just be one of the late birds being trampled on by people who started before you. BTW systems are in place that discourage macroing (I'm not allowed to talk about specifics). Unattended macroing? ugh | ||

Awesome pvp pics :D I barely remember that style of pvp, I really started getting into PvP when fancy items were starting to come out, so all my memories of PvP are neon and very silly. I'll try to find some pics of more modern Chesapeake PvP. I only started taking pics of champ spawn raids and stuff like that in 2006 or 2007. The amount of rainbow colours might cause your eyes to bleed a little, though. @Barrin Neato. Kind of like the rested XP thing in WoW? Once you've gained X amount of skill or played for Y hours, you start to gain a little slower? Also, will houses just cost money to buy/build? Or will they require resources like boats? I really want to get a guild house up and running fast ^__^ | ||

yeah the system is like rested xp in WoW but continuous. aka the more in one day the more the gains are diminished. So it keeps most people equalish in terms of gains. | ||

So it keeps most people equalish in terms of gains. From the FAQ: Q: What are the rules regarding macroing? A: Macroing is allowed, though automated scripting is not and is a bannable offense. Unattended resource gathering (via scripts) though is forbidden. The following blogentry describes in detail how the RoT system is supposed to work: http://azaroth.org/2010/11/13/10-in-10-fair-play/ Basically it's: "IPY’s RoT imposes an overall daily cap on skill points gained by players. This cap limit is set at a reasonably low level to help ensure that a macroer will not be able to run circles around the attempts of an actual player. " But has some nice additional ideas. | ||

About a week ago Sen (Lead coder/programmer) said that macroing is just fine as long as you're not macroing resource gathering (mining, lumberjacking, fishing, probably begging too). My biggest project to date involved testing how fast skills gain (most of which done via macroing both for ease and testing their top end), so it is important for me to know this. Also I remember hearing Az talk about how ridiculous it would be to try to stop people from macroing (which is really where anti-macroing mechanics are stemming from), but resource macroing is a big no-no. macroing vs unattended macroing | ||

I remember that happeninng because a guild called SAS was HUGE I was in LoD on Chesapeake, took part in tons of wars against the big chesa guilds that you named. Remember the Lod guildhouse outside of vesper strip? That place was downright crazy at all times. Anyway I think you'll be surprised to see the number of old school UO'rs coming back to play IPY 2. I know -S-, FS, LoD, SAS, SUN, FB, XH!, GoD, SiN, ST, Zrv, and then there's KAOSS and ? who will have people playing here, and I'm pretty sure a few OiN people will be playing but maybe not as the guild, also I wouldn't be surprised to see some KoC/J-D show up . Anyway those are just the guilds you probably know, there's a whole mesh of UO guilds that were formed/created on various free-shards you wouldn't know about and they will be showing up there not to mention a lot of guilds from OSI shards that weren't chesa. You should check it out, I wouldn't jump so far as to say anything is dead. I think you'll be pretty amazed at how many people will be playing ipy 2 when things gets rolling. Aside from that Ultima Online is easily the best game ever, no other mmo can compare or hold up to it, and IPY 2 is the best chance anyone here has to rekindle the old UO spirit, whether your thing is crafting, pvp, pvm, pk'ing, pirates. I dunno, just with all the games out there, I would still rather play Ultima, I guess I can appreciate good game design and I'm definitely not alone in those sentiments. Btw Djwheat, I totally didn't know you were a UO guy! So badass to see you'll be playing here, you + chill = best commentating duo ever smackfools did you ever play with Grey/King Kye or Hector? | ||

Legion of Doom right? Yeah I remember the strip right outside of vesper..a lot of fights took place there lol.... My character was mUTANT on chesa... Yes I played with those guys before, I dont really remember them too much though..they were OiN right? Like Cadul and Deagol. I mostly played with the KoC guys like Predator, Flexx, Rollergirl, Narf, ...I started NfC with Ghostface after IC! disbanded but I quit shortly after that... IC! was sweet because it had a lot of the KoC players in it, but a more tight knit group, and we pretty much fought like Oinland, it was really hard to take us out.. I remember A*G and -S- just getting slaughtered by us. Fighting Oinland on the other hand was seriously intense. The fight would last FOREVER before someone died, and whoever lost that guy would lose the fight, thats how fragile the fights between OiN and IC! were. I never really liked the OiN guys too much though, the only one I really knew well was Blade, they seemed too serious to me.. But they had awesome synergy...A group of 5 of those guys could take on 2 guilds at once. Those guys just never seemed to die. | ||

Will this mean there are no chickens and mightmares on this server? Taming is still really strong with no mounts, like always, you wont be selling mounts to people but eventually you can definitely tame and sell dragons/drakes for a lot of gold. Not to mention pvm with dragons is by far one of the best money making templates. | ||
