The game is still awesome. It doesn't need a graphics overhaul; it needs a development team worth a damn and a consistent one. Not a team that is changed every few years. Give these people creative freedoms.

EA Mythic tried to do a lot of upgrading, but so did those prior. I mean really... how hard is it to design half of this stuff? UO Lost its player base due to the millions of changes it went through; some good and some bad. The main issue was consistency. They never released consistent updates.

Really, if EA wanted to bring back the massive player base it had; it would have to change its marketing to match current game with free-2-play and pay-4-content. This would surely bring a lot of people back. That monthly price tag is a lot to pay for something that doesn't get much content or substance added.

People started to get interested when they talked about releasing an old school server; which is great... but who would be updating it?! If the current servers don't get a lot in a way of updates... neither will the new old school servers either. This has been a big issue with EA for a long time with the Ultima Online game.

Another thing to point is the lack of some nicer things that get asked for. I think High Seas should have implemented some form of hand guns and rifles from the old pirate days. It would have been easily balanced too. Yet, I am sure this was too much work for them. People are not happy with just new "decorative" items.

EA Should have stopped hiring these teams and literally came to Sphere, RunUO, and Pol to hire people if you really ask me. How many of us would be releasing a ton of new expansions?! We are all ahead of EA by far code and script wise. Our imaginations have created things that EA could never have created. Give me a few graphic designers and animation developers and I'd be on top of it. The shards that use those cool gumps but lack the armor animations; they would have them. It needs a flare like that. Give me some sick ass new gothic plate mail with spikes and evil looks. How about some new half-plate to use. Give me a pot for a helmet (lol). I mean it is things like this that could sharpen up the experience for people.
