I've no idea why this free server is getting such a following but it has groups of players from asia waiting for it to open.
Seems to be quite a bit of hype about it?

I think I remember something in the past about IPY being the first and only server officially shut down by OSI/EA or whoever was in charge at the time.

lol @ my sig and avatar here


good times

[Calix]

I expect it'll be very good, if I wasn't already committed to UOSA I'd try it out. Has to be question marks over it's longevity though. afaik it wasn't shut down by OSI, if I remember rightly the shard just ate itself with 95% wolf player base..

Would love to be proved wrong though!

[KoKane]

Yup. Definitely questions about its longevity and the new systems in it, how they will fare out etc.

I dunno what shard was shutdown by OSI then, lol. (Wasnt there one?)

I definitely did hear about the majority of players being wolfs and thats all that was left. I was reading Azeroths blog too. He seems to understand all of the things now that led to its downfall before, so it will be interesting to see.

[Calix]

It'll be very interesting to see how it goes.

At present there's only two successful 'freeshards' as far as I'm aware? UOSA and Hybrid.

i just got an email from defiance, all there new updates still sounded shite, although i got a good laugh at the fact they are doing 9th year vet rewards

[Calix]

haha Defiance. They probably have a dungeon called 'Paypal' by now.

IPY2 has some great stuff. Paladins/'Kings'(stupid name)/Pirates. Improved ROT makes sense for skill gain as well.

[Calix]

Opens today.

I'm gonna make a char and just get the basics done in case it turns out to be DAS BESTE.

[Kash]

tomorrow, no?

maybe i should make a char as well and we can do some basic shit together on the opening night?

pking on 1 hour old chars should be fun

[Calix]

Ah you're right. I thought it was the 11th today. BRAIN.

But yeah that'd be cool. Same goes for anyone else that fancies starting up, give me a shout here or in IRC. Even if I used to hate you in UO !

[Calix]

Urgh, so I got reading the forums today and now I'm all excited

Names I remember and haven't heard of in years from Pac, Siege, Chessy all playing...

[Mercury]

seriously.

[Villa]

HAIL.

[Munky]

I believe it opens today at 7PM EST (so about midnight GMT)
Looks like there is alot of interest, hopefully it will remain popular

[Kash]

eitherway it could be fun to play though the first weekend
