UOE...and RunUO whens it coming?

[Rabid]

UO Extreme most anyone that played UO for any extensive amount of time during the glory days can instantly identify with it.

To summarize what made UOE special is it enhanced multiple aspects of game play better top to bottom that made the game more fun and less tedious than OSI provided themselves.

The UOE era was quite simply the absolute best era of UO. It was the most fast paced unpredictable relentless ruthless exciting period of UO's game play period.

OSI's implementations of portions of UOE is evidence enough about it's popularity and game enhancing aspects.

Simply put in the UOE era if you weren't cautious and didn't think ahead and prepare for the unexpected you were all ready dead or looted dry. You always had to be on your guard in any situation.

People talk of era accuracy a lot and without UOE you'll never be era accurate depending on the era you have in mind. Without the extra layer of depth it invoked it'll never be the same as live.

The real question is when will we get to relive the most competitive game play era UO ever experienced and why is it so long overdue? RunUO and OSI...different people, but the same mentality.

UOE was just flat out better than razor is overall so to answer the question yeah I've heard of it, but it's no supplement to all the kick ass features UOE had.

yea but things like speed hack and shit like that are obviously going to barred from any shard so really the question is when will Razor have all the applicable features UOE had..

Razor is actually a lot better than UOE. I have always been a fan of UOE since first using it back in '98. The only feature that is great about UOE that Razor doesn't have is Fastwalk. Fastwalk isn't a "standard" speed hack that you later saw popping up everywhere during the UOR era. It was purely a process that manipulated the packet structure for movement that allowed you to move as if you had 0 ping. EA finally corrected this just like several other packet exploits. UO servers today disallow a character to move quicker than 0.1s per tile making any sort of speed alteration impossible to move quicker than this pace. The only benefit that any speed hacking program has now is speeding up your machine or connection making you quicker in that aspect. This could be accomplished by getting a better machine and connection though. The character in game still will not move any quicker than that cap with the server under any circumstances, it's impossible without being able to manipulate the packets like UOE did back in the day.

Razor has a lot more available options than UOE with the ability to record macros. If a gaming feature doesn't exist in Razor that existed in UOE a carbon copy could simply be recorded to make it exist. Macros with unbelievable features can be made through this program. The only thing that I hate about Razor is the people who made it, the RunUO team. The RunUO team has not handed out the necessary tools to limit Razor. There is script available that can restrict a very limited amount of features but leaving a lot others that is just as damaging.

Razor lacks snoop again on fail keep containers always open and the ability to axe items in other peoples packs that are used to conceal bags behind other items. It also lacks bank anywhere which let you recall off runes in your bank.

Razor is nicer in some aspects, but worse in others especially when it came to stealing where UOE was vastly superior. I just wish I could feel the adrenaline rush I use to experience during the robin hood glory days of UO where stealing and archery were king.
