I'm old school -S- cloud and currently in Legion of Doom on Uogamers. My friends and I are creating an old school based uo shard mainly preuor. The idea is to bring back all the network of chesa guilds together to replicate those old memories we all once shared together. We plan to work together with you guys and the rest of the chesa guilds such as Oin,-S-,Nfz,Dnd,AoD,LoD,A*G. So that we can take your suggestions to make this the best possible shard we have all been waiting for. Because in reality if you guys come and every other chesa guild comes it causes a chain reaction of fun. We plan to leave the best house spots reserved for each guildmaster thats dedicated to try our server and help make this happen. We will set each guild up and make sure their suggestions are taking into account. We also plan to have a memorial in the brit GY with all the guilds that merit mentioning as uo history. Each graveyard will have an inscription such as "HEre lies KoC etc. LoD is a sure thing in this project and we hope to add you and the rest of the chesa community to the list. We plan to bring old deceit pvp back by promoting trammies to go in search of rares only available in dungeons, this brings back the old reds vs blue at deceit and chaos/order battles.

Here is what we plan to implement so far, critizism is welcome.
Feel free to email me at Maverick0o0@hotmail.com or aim me at Uruguay09. Remember this shard is created for you so help us make it the best it can be.

being able to talk while hiding... hated when they changed that..

Being able to place house right next to other house nothin like KoC Tower that we had =) little courtyard
 
I'm not sure if you guys know cryptz he gave the suggestion of implementing gating monster from other dungeons. Which we love and plan on doing. You may of known him as an old school player who fought in the tournament of champions came runner up to cadul and inflamez. Ginger we will most like add your suggestions. Keep them coming , remember this shard is made with the concept that its not our shard but our shard(Old schoolers).
 
Cloud you are going to have a real hard time with uogamers new shard coming up with wtfman sponsering it. But then again if you remove all the old skills gains and let people actually fight instead of macroing for weeks it might get somewhere who knows. I am sure UO would be fun I played many free shards and finally gave up after no one really played. I still had fun making people mad and griefing everyone I came across.

PvP skills will be fast, craft skills will be slow. Please come to our website chupa and post what you would want in the shard. Help us help you. You can help us run this shard simply by letting us know what it is you guys want. Be your guild rep chupa, be the one that makes the dream come true. We are building this shard for you guy. the test center will be up next week.

Plus diviny caters to newb trammies, we plan on letting people wreak havoc such as monster gating etc. Problem UO never lived up to vet expectations in player run shards is because they were never givin the opportunity to step up and make it happen. Whatever your guild wants in this shard will be implemented same with any big named guild. this is your shard as much as mine help me make it a success.
 
Things are a bit busy for me the next few days I will try and stop by after a bit and check things out. Talk to you soon.
 
Is there gonna be factions on this server?

We decided to keep the shard completely old school so there will not be any factions. Come to our website to check out updates on what we plan to implement. The test Ceneter will be up in 2-3 days. We thank everyone who have been working together with us to make this shard a succes.
New Website link, http://www.trueuo.cjb.net/ .

ps. Ginger as for the KoC courtyard you wanted we cannot implement that part of the game because it will be exploited. But we will illegally place houses for you in that manner for your guild when you come join us. Just page and ask for me.
 
There is like 500+ people playing UOG:Divinity. Why not just play there?
 
Divinity sucks

Well for one Divinity is ran by runuo, who are all corrupt and allow scripting. Second they arent full old school and they miss a lot of the little things that made the old school shards so much fun. Third chesapeak had the best pvp than any other shard, I want to create that atmosphere by bringing all the guilds together. Divinity is a shard ran by nerds TrueUo is a shard ran by old school pvprs for old school pvprs. Last but not least I plan to protect this shard to keep it old school and corruption free so no one ruins others peoples perfect idea of uo. So to sum it up divinity blows and its used as another private enterprise to make Ryan more cash from donations. anyone that believes it all goes to that shard is gullible.
 
So you don't plan on making any money for doing all that work? It seems fine to make money off something you put a lot of work into.
 
TEST CENTER ETA THIS SATURDAY

The test center will be up this Saturday come help us test the shard as we start implementing what will go in effect on the main shard. Thank you for your time.

No shit? Sounds good... AIM? ug! What about IRC or a TS/Vent channel do you have one? Priv me the info if so... I will load that at work tomorrow and try and find you.
 
I stand corrected it appears UODivinity is a hit with almost 1100 players online. I guess people do like to sit through the tedious skill building of the old UO skill sets. heh.

whats wrong with the trueUO board????




What u doing Chup?

Ryan from RUNUO told them they were not to use his UO client so the project was scratched. I am playing with Grey/hector and a few others on the new Divinity shard. I do not have a house or anything but would I would be happy to farm for you or anyone else that would like to try. That is if I can stop ebing myself...
