  I heard there is no recall or gate on Siege, is this true? If so, then I can see why some people wouldn't want to play that particular ruleset. I haven't played since '99, but I am thinking about joining up again. My problem is that the only high speed I can get is satellite.

  Anyways, GOD BLESS RECALL

  btw, anyone play on satellite ?

  That, and Siege has all the other Trammie carebear crap like;

  Blessed Weapons and Armor (blessed means it does not drop on the ground with your dead body, it stays with your ghost and it cannot be stolen)

  Private Housing (by simpling clicking a switch, a player can install a forcefield around his house, you will bounce off if trying to enter)

  Blessed Runebooks (almost every part of the world is forever accessible with no risk and no travel necessary)

  Firebeetle Forges (living breathing giant beetle pets that can be ridden and used as a smithy forge)

  Giant Golem Robots (used to beat on AFK for training)

  Ressurectable Pets (pets never die, they can be resurrected and are used in combat without risk)

  Bags of Sending (yes bags of sending! You can put things in a little bag and send it directly to your bank and they are rechargeable)

  Instant looting (no need to watch your back or have someone help you, just click on your body and everything poofs back into your pack)

  Instanced looting (there can be a dead body or monster on the ground and only those that did the most damage can loot the dead body, everyone else will be denied access)

  No more NPC interaction (was taken out of all shards)

  Invulnerable NPCs (cannot be harmed whatsoever)

  For the most part, NPCs do not carry what they are wearing anymore

  Broken Unrealistic Economy (you can buy as much as you want, the NPCs keep up to 999 of an item, buy it all and they instantly restock)

  No more Bounties, no more decapitating, murderers are nothing more than "Reds" and can enter any town.

  And all the other gay Trammie carebear crap, it would take me so long to list everything, but here is some, Ninjas, Flip-Flops, Rideable dogs, Giant purple pet Beetle Container Mounts, sunglasses, elves, item properties, item based game instead of skill based, flourescent clothing and armor and weapons (neon green platemail and bright pink swords), giant snowmen and snowflakes, gingerbread men and candy canes....etc, etc...

  The bottom line is, It's absurd that any players call Siege Perilous a hardcore or classic UO shard still, if anyone does, you can be sure they are ignorant and have no idea what they are talking about and very likely have never played there or know nothing of Classic Utlima Online.

  Yet, these same people like to wrongly use Siege as an example of a failed Classic UO or Felucca, when it is in actuality more recognizable as a Trammie carebear shard with more difficult rules.  Who want's to play the same crap, but with more difficult rules?

  The other solution is, look for a freeshard with old rules.
  
  
  
  And Siege has no recall feature, but you can gate.
  
  And as for satelite,  I think you have then quite a high latency and UO is still very latency dependant.
  
  UO is not the best game to play on satelite.

  That doesn't make any sense to me. I used to play on dial-up getting 14.4 connections on a GOOD day. And that was back when UO actually had a good population. (~1999)  When you walked near a town bank it was always crowded. Yea, I had some lag, but I could still enjoy the game. I'm not trying to say your wrong, I was the one that asked the question. But the whole thing pisses me off.

  There is a guy I work with that plays WoW on satellite with no problems. I would just give it a try, but I don't want to be in contract, paying $100 a month, just to see if I can start playing UO again.

  Thanks again guys/gals

  I loved and still love UO to this day.  But everytime I see that they are adding new stuff, I just shiver.  I mean, that's what killed the game for me, adding new stuff.  Plus, this whole expansion thing has people going nuts, which I will admit I am too.  But think about it, it's still going to be the same carebear UO.  I truely love uo to death.  I still think it's the best MMO out in the market, but I miss the PvP, the danger of the game.  I miss mining in Felluca and having a buddy there to help defend me.  EA is ignorante.  The hell with them.  They say they can't bring back a classic shard....all they ever say is "Go play SP."  Which is bullcrap.  SP isn't the shard we want.  We want all the old rules.  We don't want the Diablo 2 weapons, we want the vanquishing and the old rules. 
  
  
  
  I'm going to have to keep myself from playing this game again.
  
  
  
  I miss you UO =(
