My sincere opinion...HOW TO HELP!!!!!!

[cardeal]

Tracked in the middle of the ocean by someone using the tracking skill? How can that be lol unless u are using the tracking thing of the boat.. that is even more discouraging :/

The fact is-after fel resource/luck bonus been turned off by Dan there is basicly no reason to bother with that facet- even one of two custom champs (orc/ophidian)
No longer existed (orc)

Between this and the removal of the players names list I now know as to WHY the total number of players online when i log into game is no longer 50, but 30.

There are a couple or a few reasons to still wander around Fel but the tracking changes is what have put people even off of the server not only off Fel..

Indeed.. I never seen so low numbers since I joined around 18months ago. 12 online

I contemplated whether to waste some time on this thread and figured I might as well


Hey pappy!
I just want to clarify on this, that the reason we do not play on Heritage anymore actively is not because Goobs had a baby xD
We all still play together and have expanded our group as we have played other servers and games.

OC simply moved to other games like Albion Online, League, COD, ESO, and generally just other games as a group where we stick together and add a few members here and there.
We have also been playing older Era servers even tho almost all of us prefer a newer era such as Heritage for long term content.. which has some weight as to why we dont base out of Heritage anymore.

I whined and I complained about the issues we seen with Heritage, most of the time people just seemed to go against us even when they had no fucking clue what they were talking about with PvP or the general issues with Heritage. OC was often demonized because we were giant fuckin assholes and we loved to PvP but the sad thing is we are and never were the best PvPers who would arrive on heritage's doorstep, most of the best would leave before the week was up due to the overwhelming issues affecting the server and ultimately at the end those issues pushed us away.

Anyways, we are still active and playin on other servers and you may see us but I felt like posting that we did not just bail because of life and shit we bailed because of a few reasons ill state here and as I state I know I am not blameless in some of these as I used these to my advantage at times to survive but I always wished we did not need to take this route to survive.

-Casting was completely fuckin incorrect - When you can teleport faster than a player can run there might be an issue.

-Scripting ran fuckin rampant with automated Doom scripts, automated shadowguard scripts, auto spawners, auto spawn checkers, discord alerting scripts when a player shows somewhere, Teleport wall scripts, auto mining/lumber/fishing, auto bandage scripts, scripts that would OFTEN fool Dan that you were not AFK when you were with simple AI pulled into Python via EnhancedUO, scripting for every single aspect of the game.

-The server constantly was changing its vision through the time I was there, I literally named a player "NotOSIAccurate" because Dan would site how something wasn't OSI accurate and then we would get some stupid fucking shit like Dread spiders with 1500 HP at champion spawns when I first started because we didn't have a OSI account to prove it. Now its custom or some shit and we would get events with custom sashes with DI and SSI and all this other shit, it never made sense to me what the vision was.

-You as a individual are not a player on Heritage - you are a bug tester. Heritage at the time of me playing there was just a place where you tested code and if there was an issue that was fucking annoying you you got to be the one who tested the issue on OSI, create a bug report on the forums, and pray it got fixed in a decent amount of time.

-Pay to Win/Advantage Cash shop - I spent hundereds on this server because I liked to support it of course but I also knew it gave me an advantage, at the time one of the best Dexxer capes was on the store, some of the coolest lookin gear, etc.

These are just some of the issues I had with Heritage and even though I dont play Heritage we often talk about good times on here as a Group or people who are/were on the server and what not and they are often decent memories and I hate that we don't have a constant home to play UO on anymore but it was just full of bullshit so we decided to go and play elsewhere.
Heritage had the potential to be one of the greatest servers and tbh I think it was one of the best I ever played at certain times but the PvP was shit and everyone who is decent at PvP left because they realized that quickly...

I also am grateful I met two of the coolest Motherfuckers ever on this server Jester & Dakota - if anyone is around that still remembers them. They are still some of the coolest dudes ever and I got to meet Dakota IRL and Jester plays with us to this day.

Anyways, I sometimes check the forums every month or so and noticed this thread the other day and felt like throwing my two cents and if you feel like I'm just bitching or I'm wrong or "hey fuck you - if you dont like it leave it" ... well, we all did leave it... after years of hoping and trying to have a good time and help the community.

@Magus Zeal - Hit me up sometime big boy

I just want to report, that after many years of knowing Jester, and Piglet - meeting them IRL many times...this server facilitated some of the best friends ive ever had.

And I do wish to tell @Dan thank you for this.
