I'd like to say sorry for making threads like that but in one or another way, this forum needs some kick to be more active. Anyway, i have been walking around the internet and kept looking for shard that would suit me. Some of them had like 80% of what i am looking for, but none had main thing to start playing there.

I will try to show you my idea about the shard that i would play. Before i start i just want to say one thing, i am not big fan of new patches i love old feeling of uo as it used to be back in the days.

General info:
- UO:R era
- Hard skill/stat gain (even though its so unpopular among players)
- 700/225 Skill/Stat cap
- Pre-cast OFF
- Chaos/Order guild wars
- Rare colors (such as: cloth dyes, skin dyes, etc.)
- Rare rides
- Weapon enchantment for PVM only
- Taxes (Anarch Cassius)
- Rune weapons (force, vanquishing, etc.)
- Skill synergy (Anarch Cassius)

MAP
Lets face it, UO is not in its peak days so it might be hard to gather player base in nowadays. We all know, Britain map is really big and way too big for small player base, especially if we want them to encounter each others. I have made little image of an idea of starting map for fresh shard just to make community as close as possible to each other.



RED LINE - might be wall or heavy defended point of the map that couldn't be passed by player just to shrink the map.
BLUE CIRCLE - Blue town, starting town.
RED CIRCLE - PK, unguarded town.
GREY CIRCLE - Neutral town, might be used to turn on or off guard zone, etc. Please brainstorm for grey town.

Variations of how town should be made can be changed. Vesper can be Blue town and Cove could be grey one, to be exact as Crafters town with great mines and rare trees.

The main thing what would make a shard ideal for me, is stats and skills with no pre-cast. I just want old good Santiago style pvp.

Help me out and tell me what you think or what would you consider ideal shard for you. And it would be nice if someone would like the idea about my ideal shard.
