General UO Chat / Re: The END of EUO.

Yep, good stuff... Trout Slayer is alright, but gimme a Drool every time.

For anyone wondering:

http://www.bigskybrew.com/

Never had Trout Slayer. Once I found the Drool there was no going back.

McEwan's was my favorite for the longest time. I was stationed with some Scots in the '90s and we used to drink it by the case and play full contact darts.   :D  Those were the days!

I'm stocking up on Moose Drool for this evenings extended UO playing period.

Moose Drool ROCKS! I had that the last time I was in Montana, and I love the stuff!

The only one.

Actually there is always more than one choice.

Thanks for the pep talk though. I'm all better now.  ;)

if and when it is finished... will make writing scripts down the road a few commands... will be awesome once we have a function base built up....

Herein lies the problem. The true wealth of EUO is the existing script base, and the fact that it is working NOW, and relatively easy for a non-programmer to work with NOW.

OEUO is incomplete, unstable, and currently worthless in relation to the YEARS of effort put into the current script base. Instead of doing a minor update on EUO as a stopgap until OEUOs emulator is working, he basically tells his entire user base "tough *bleep* and have a nice day". He's strong arming his entire user base to migrate to something that MAYBE 5-10% want, and the rest are being pissed on.

Does anyone here truly believe for one second that he's not capable of doing the same thing AGAIN later down the road if it suits him? Anyone that converts their scripts over to OEUO, provided that it's even stable enough to use in the near term is asking for it. If he screws his user base once, he'll do it again. And there's not a damn thing you'll be able to do next time either. He pulled something similar with EUOX if I recall. That was a minor speed bump compared to this temper tantrum.

What the community needs are multiple tools, so that when one prick gives them the finger they can migrate to something else and give him the finger right back. You see this kind of petty tyrant bs in the open source world to, but there it normally results in a fork and an F YOU!

Which is what's needed here.

What other script platforms are out there? I'm not really interested in redeveloping all of my scripts for this next generation of cheffes goat rodeo.  >:(

Giving the finger to 90% of your user base to force them to migrate to an incomplete platform is BS.

If I can find a good stable platform I'll give him the finger right back.

Permission to come aboard! Long time UO player runs aground here for the first time. Anyone have a cask of Rum handy?

I've been playing OSI shards since around 2003. UO was my first cruise into the, to me, uncharted waters of the MMORPG and I've kept sailing with full canvas ever since. Started on Atlantic but moved over to Napa after ML came out looking for less crowded seas. I spend most of my time at PVM using a Paladin or Mage with some crafting on the side, while swilling a bit of grog. That might have something to do with all the uneven stitching on my canvas now that I think about it. Ah well, it still holds the wind. Mostly.

I've been using easyuo for a while to tame the monotony and provide more time for drinking and wenching. Thought I'd make a port call and give ScriptUO a gander.

Now off to the pub for me!
