Hello everyone, just working and decided to look up some old UO stuff. I found this forum, I remember playing IPY briefly with SSJ. Just seeing whats up with the shard and if anyone still plays. How is the pvp? Are there any other shards people play for pvp? Im interested in playing again just to mess around and old time sakes. Also seeing if any oldschoolers still play also?

if you dont want a really bad taste in your mouth then id suggest waiting for 2.5.
last time i played there were 560 players online and every dungeon was empty all day, checking in today and it said 450 so im not even gonna move my char anywhere.
Speaking of bad tastes in mouths...
Well, never mind.
This is a pretty pessimistic way of looking at it and "every dungeon empty all day" is difficult to believe...look harder. Until I see you roll up on me at my favorite spawn, keep thinking there's nobody out there...more loot for me.Originally Posted by reb
The population is down but I'm not at a loss of things to do.
Play if you want. 2.5 is hopefully done within a few months.
pking is all i do and if i cant find anyone then i am at a loss. im euro so perhaps im missing out on the primetime but i really was camping shame for over an hour without anyone showing up then i logged.
that was one week ago, ill check whats up this sunday perhaps.
i just dont want people to see the shard in its current state, it feels like 50 are macroing, 10 are crafting and 5 are decorating their houses. the patch needs to come asap, all my friends have left and im really not sure if they will return this time.
50% on donation coins and a hunt for a damn bracelet is only keeping the new folks busy. sorry about being so negative.
i agree with reb. i log on once in a while and its pretty empty. even air eles are empty. that's great if you're in some remote corner of a dungeon farming away degamra but it doesn't say much for the rest of the pop. even when the server was more active the majority of people were only in shame.
i was in shame for about an hour yesterday and saw one other person so i logged.
If 2.0 > "2.4999999" was basically just the addition of "ultra slayers"....I don't get why people keep saying "wait for 2.5". That .0000001 difference is going to just blow everyone's mind like the last .4999999.
The legendary tomoyaki forgive me if I don't believe you're you. Get on your ICQ.
lol
So many people keep bringing up this ipy 2.4999999 thing. They assume that because Az said 2.49999, and as that mathematically leaves only .01 to make 2.5, that what 2.5 will be is just a slight update constituting content of .01% compared to what was released in 2.49999. Based on the amount of work Az has put into IPY 2.0's original release, and then additional content from there, I find it ignorant and disrespectful to assume he all that he would release on his shard for 2.5 is minimal content. This is a free shard, and the best one out there. If you don't want to play it then don't. I have no problem with people asking for updates, but to feel that you are entitled to them, or anything from Az, you are mistaken. Show some respect for the hard work they've put in to making you a pretty sweet shard for nothing.
^ This.
With the exception of some problems with OCB mechanics/exploits and the inherent inferiority of T2A PvP compared to UOR PvP, this shard is pretty awesome.
Even with all it's flaws, OCB is ten times better than Factions was on OSI with it's ****ty sigil defense mechanics.
OCB will be addressed in 2.5 so that'll at least resolve some of those issues. I don't really need to know exactly what will be fixed for me to continue enjoying the system. Been some really fun battles these past couple of weeks!
