By today's standards it may be. But keep in mind that this was back in the day when not many people have played, let alone know, what an mmorpg is even. An Internet connection was still a relatively new household item, running on 5-6 kilobytes per second.

This was purportedly an ad for UO from way back in 1998, some of us were probably not even born at that time. But something about the ad caught my eye, how the narrator framed the whole concept of what UO was. It talked about a world of player interaction, creativity, relationships, emotions...

There is no quick fix for RMT, it is a rampant industry that affects every mmorpg I know of. The best SV can do is active monitoring and cross-referencing of player activity to detect and ban those who engage in it. The fact of the matter is, if there is a demand for something, human nature...

Thievery next, please.

Not saying this is the root cause nor that it will fix the problem, but another thing you might want to do is check for any signs of thermal throttling. Too much heat might force the system to dial back the performance.

Would be a good idea. Maybe when gathering ore or wood, if we receive a precious gem or rock, can also gain ~100 glory. Other ways could include taming dangerous wildlife on a one-off basis per creature. After all, we do have to take them down to mercy mode first, which may be challenging...

Int is worth it if you're into crafting or related skills that give bonus skill points based on the attribute. Coupled with the insane amount of clades designed to give humans even more profession skill points, you get to play semi-self sufficiently on one character. But I digress.

The threshold for melee weapon damage reduction has been reduced to 20% durability in the latest patch, down from 50% previously. "Balance Changes Bows now start to lose damage when below 20% durability. Like melee weapons." Source...

I think for your first point, we already have that. On my character, for example, I can make soft armours, shields, blades and horse gear. I could specialise, or be a generalist. But not be both. For Your second point, the higher tier gatherables and materials require specialisation, so that...

Solo player here. The game has preset builds now, though if that does not help, pure Tindremene could be an option, as they can be hybrid fighter mages. Alvarins may be another option, they have some nice abilities and do well as mages.

I think having a voice selector of variations based on your chosen race at character creation is fine, as is a one-off change for existing characters. But changing the voice at will and to different racial voices is a bit too jarring. Changing of names probably isn't something that SV will...

While I appreciate the new foraging tasks, the system is broken in its current form, in my opinion. Take for instance, gathering sea dew is 6km away from Fabernum, and the reward is something like 30 silvers and 20 glory. That is not rewarding nor worthwhile to any player, veteran or newcomer...

I think it would be good if Henrik can continue to stream bi-weekly but keep them shorter instead of going for hours on end. People like myself simply don't have the time to watch such long livestreams even if he were to do it once a month.

Good suggestion.

It could be argued that steel plate and steel axe are relatively overpowered versus noobs that have nothing close to that and hence "hit for zero" against that kind of gear. I'm not disagreeing that getting ganked by vets using that kind of gear can drive some new players away. Or that...

Hmm not sure what you meant by overpowered vets killing noobs in the two videos. The first one looked like a naked guy running away from you because you were chasing him with a dagger that was hitting scoundrels for ~65 damage (pretty impressive, I might add). The steel-clad guys looked like...

Sprint one of next roadmap, I hope. Add a bunch of utility secondary skills, and many non-thieves may likely join the thieves in taking up the skill line, too. It would also be the perfect timing to introduce sneak stance into the game.

Assuming they can filter out all the potentially rampant astro-turfing as well. Google Forms was the worst platform (in my opinion) for holding a feature poll that I have ever seen.

I really hope that after Sprint 4 they will introduce thievery as one of the core features of Sprint 1 in the next roadmap. Not seeing it in the next roadmap is going to make a lot of people think that thievery is nothing more than a pipe-dream that will never get implemented. I don't think I...

It happens on my end from time to time, too. Just need to click Cancel and Login again. It had worked 100% of the time for me. Though it doesn't make it acceptable, and SV should have a look into it when they have the time.
