Back in the days was just fine, you could trick your opponent with one WOP command just fine, hit hit throw "Kal Vas Flam wop", you made opponent drink a potion and heal, get in there and hit again and cast real kal vas flam 2-3 times and hes dead.
Fake healing etc worked fine.

I was a developer back on old XUO and i cant really remember how the WOP command was implemented, as i remember it it was a bug in the client which made it possible to spam through the anti spam check (client sided).

The WOP command was invented much later i think.

I have never thought the spam was good, there for never used it in PVP but i still won 50 tournaments when everyone else spammed.

I know this has been brought up so many times so i have pretty much lost count, i just think there's other ways to make the pvp fun.

If duel takes hours to finish why not try to raise weapon dmg or something.
Change skills in combat, instead of having a maximum of 100 swordsmanship you could have 500 so its more skill based.

Problem with uo is that it always comes down to internet latency, its a old game so what can you expect.

So as i remember it, wop came from a bug, wop was never a part of XUO pvp from the beginning. 3 Wops / sec would be fine, raise weapon damages or introduce +10 +11 +12 +13 weapons.

Just my thought
