I'm pretty sure another UO shard won't work without something hugely new and/or addictive.

Also: I'm amused that Ean posted just days before Aed. I remember getting royally owned in some battlefield knock-off game with yall ...and I remember getting violated repeatedly in SWG too. Woo ;/

I agree with Nasir, UO is an old game and we should innovate somehow, implement some of the features avalaible in recent expansions, making the player evolution more slow (to maintain players, instead of making possible to have a full char in few weeks), something that makes the economy stable (like professions, instead of being possible to gm everything), i don't know. Just open the shard and the future we will see, but without trying we will never know. Of course, without losing the shard identity... but an open mind is always good.

Most of the times i have fun walking in a empty shard (in a server as localhost) just exploring, designing structures, scripting and so on (just to learn C#, i needed it for a computer science project, lol). We have everything to make a good shard...
but we have to decide the shard style, the shard identity, the shard core and basis... merging to distinct styles just to have a good playerbase isn't a good idea... . IN had his identity, his style... now it's time to maintain and innovate.

There are good ideas for this style of shard... try them out!
