For me , adding thing would without question be an upgrade.
Of course you could argue that the fun of a game is always percieves subjectively , but even if its a seperatly shard with its own ruleset , uo is still a sandbox rpg.
One thing that rpgs and actually all action games today offer are different classes/playstyles/roles.
You could say from a professional game reviewers point that this shard is in comparison lacking , i know its kinda a bad comparison , also uo would not be rated good anyway on reviews if it came out today , but there is a little truth in it.
Aside from the promises about being 'true' to the core functions of Sphere 0.51a 'which is unique and considered by many to be the best representation of the essence and feel of early Ultima Online ' ( which i wholeheartly disagree with , having played the golden times of osi servers and the start of first german freeshards , fizzle and many thing which are missing here were always included) , why would be such ideas make no sense on this shard?
And of course you would need to test and simulate it (even giving players impressions of the developments and insights would be great) , throwing something in ruining the balance could affect the playerbase negativly.
