Thought everyone might enjoy this post on the EUO forums. In case you didn't know, CEO is now withholding EUO to the general public for 3 days after the new version is released. Only members of his Alexandria freeshard will get it on "release day".

So CEO, you say that your objective is to get people playing on your shard, yet you've explicitly stated that all they have to do is create a character and click a link at luna bank. I do not see how this really accomplishes anything. If anything, it creates a bunch of unused accounts taking up server space.

Stunts like this are exactly why people enjoy using ScriptUO, which will be fully functional in the near future. EUO is not the only program out there. Most of what can be done in EUO can be done with Razor as well as with UOAI and other projects. EUO has the potential to become a truly great platform, but because both you and Cheffe are unwilling to truly make it OPEN source, you're tying your own hands and sealing your own fates. You try to pretend that you are all "noble" here since you don't allow scripts that take advantage of skill timer avoidance, or other such things, but EUO is just as much cheating as any skill timer avoidance or dupe or anything else. You can think you're a "Robin Hood" all you want, but you're just as much a cheater as any generic speed hacker. Remember, the fact that you host your own server is a direct violation of the terms of service of UO!

Just my two cents....

ROFL, BURN!!!!

Ouch!  Hopefully BritBare isn't holding his breath for SUO to become completely functional.  He'll be floating on the surface of the fishtank and will have to be flushed.  Poor BritBare.

Personally I dont like the way they are going about things.. but thier again its not my code, im not doing the support, in fact im doing nothing but using it .. really when you think about it waiting 3 days is no big deal.  If thats all thats asked of me its a pretty small price.

When you have no other options  rember the old phrase .. "beggars carnt be choosers"

I think initially people got the wrong idea about the situation.

People were assuming that EUO was updated, but only available on Lexia.

The truth is that EUO is not close to being updated because of MAJOR changes in the client. Cheffe is working on it. THEN once it gets updated they will offer it on Lexia first and make it public THREE days after that.

Thats my understanding of the situation....

Yeah that's how I read it also.

i third agree .. fist fix then release to lexia then 3days rest of us smurfs...

Yeppers... wait 3 extra days for general public is what was intended.  The pot on the boards there didn't read well.  I would be really upset if I had all my scripts hosted there but that is obviously a non issue.

I'm on board with Cheffe's, "It's free, you'll take what I give you." policy.  I appreciate his work even if I don't like his attitude.   Every one of us uses EUO.  I don't feel the need to bitch about how he chooses to release the best program for UO ever made...   As long as he still does.

People have become just too accustomed to FREE as in air kinds of support with EasyUO.  This is a good wake-up for those people who have gotten used to using any uber-useful freeware.  I still think EUO should have been charging for this thing; I personally donated over $200 to EasyUO once and paid a monthly subscription fee to Alexandria just to show my appreciation to the projects over there.

I bought them lunch.  40 bucks.  That's as much as it's worth to me.  40 dollars for a tool is good dough!

I wouldn't Mind working on my own program, but I have no Idea where to begin. Going to start taking some programming classes in the spring. The first semester is going to be boring as hell though.....

[TrailMyx]

However, it didn't take them too long to delete the posts referencing ScriptUO.  Here I come and defend them, and they do that....  Why am I surprised?  I'm not.  At least I can bitch about it without worrying about my post being deleted.  (unless Cerveza deletes it....)

[Cerveza]

And I'm hovering over the DELETE button....

H o v e r i n g !

[TrailMyx]

Careful there Cerveza,  remember the last crazed admin that had control over the DELETE button.  heh
