Any of you vets out there that would recommend a free shard? I do still have an active account running on OSI but would be interested in playing on a free shard thats not just PvP hell. I enjoy high seas so id like that to be implemented or at least in the planning and of course script friendly would be a plus. You can PM me if you dont want to post here. Thanks much

Hi there,

I have never played a free shard, I didn't realize they had SA on free shards?

Runuo stopped officially on partial of Mondains Legacy. Meanwhile a few Shard Owners worked it out furthermore.
When Stygian Abyss camed up, all People wanted it, but noone were able to full implement it.
We had Communitys like Orbsydia wich dropped, then their members went to other teams and redropped project. So there are a lot of Projects wich partially implemented it. I also would say a few have it almost full implemented + HS...

I prefer UOFOrever. www.uoforever.com
Not a ton I can say that isn't spoken in volumes when you play it.
They just challenge you to play for an hour.

I just started RebirthUO. It is an OSI clone. I hope to get it going to be close to OSI as much as possible. I have imbuing and abyss in. I haven't really played High Seas so it would help to have someone who knows High Seas to let me know what i am missing and need to implement.

Uo demise most populated i think
-
im a huge ML fan, demise is popular but takes them years to get any coding done. I waited for peerless for 2 years and they finally got it in sometime after i quit. If you want a true ML experience Wakened UO is where me and my friends recently started. Some famous old demise and osi names are starting to trickle in too. its slow but steady server growth and pvp scene is all but nonexistant atm. 2 reds pk people but they just have a huge gear advantage at the moment. 80% of the day you can coon unhindered. wich is good if you are trying to get off your feet. All the customs are only item remodels in same slot of existing library donations or champ artys. Should at least look into it before any other ML clones if that is what you are looking for.
Be wary of most freeshards, too many custom arty's can op certain classes. my honest advice is pick a server with 250 with croll stat cap and 720 vet account skill cap, and make sure they have osi str/int/dex hard caps or you will find yourself very irritated in fel.
