yeah, its quite a deal for you. You guys get to play the server all by yourselves. Sooner or later you will realize its pointless to play unless there are other people to play with. Redrum and gang have won, thru Ryan's obsession with stopping cheaters. Its pointless to play on a server where you are the only person logged on.

"Woot! I just got a totem in gauntlet!!!" oh wait, it doesnt really matter cause there isnt anyone to sell/trade it with...

"Wow, a 120 mage and a 120 eval scroll dropped from the same baracoon, now I can scroll up my pvper! I am going to bucs to kill newbs!" *a tumbleweed rolls across the main st at bucs*

No matter what you accomplish or what items you get, it all doesnt mean shit because NO ONE ELSE PLAYS VALOR anymore. I have more fun playing FarmTown.
With so little faith in the shard, I'm surprised you are actually still posting on the forums.

Redrum's actions opened our eyes to numerous problems and have made us all the wiser. A shard that has had problems like these learn from them and grows stronger.

After the security upgrades are done, things like this will be taken care of before they escalate. It would be easy to say that we can just overlook problematic players and cheaters but that would be far from reality.

Ryan's obsession with stopping cheaters shows a passion for bringing a shard everyone can enjoy and play equally. If you don't believe the same, you are free to join many of the other servers who let problematic players walk all over them and who poison the community.

If you don't feel like playing a server with 1 player on, then simply don't. I think it's pretty obvious we are not concentrating on promoting the shard at this point in time, as it's planned to be changed. You're also forgetting that the shard is being rebuilt and tested in the background, which means that when the time is right, players will get to experience the improvements we've been making all throughout the year.

Those players who are currently collecting items will have a larger benefit when the shard is converted to the new core. There's nothing stopping you from training your characters in the meantime so that you'll be able to craft new artifacts or battle new monsters, hence why we kept the shard opened instead of shutting it down while we work on coding.
Good point. In fact, if I really did not care I would have shut it down long time ago. Close to 200 bucks per month is a lot of money to cough up for somebody elses entertainment. People have to remember this.

I chose to keep it open even during the revamp so that players can still play.

If everyone who can play would, there would still be a decent population. It's not like I cleared all the accounts or anything.

So it doesnta affect ur game play ur just annoyed there is no one to pvp and loot stuff off so u actually have to work spawns not newbs.
You dont get to show off and increase your ego by selling totems and wearing artifacts and uber gear.
I am pretty you lot are more concerned with what people think of ur gear and what u have to sell and show off then your are playing the game.
personally I like the solo. A chance to stray into the wild completely alone and have a real adventure (as real as it gets on screen). No newbs lureing shit or leeching loot and arty rights then auto looting my corpses.
its near perfect. Its the reason I am working on my own shard.

I feel sorry for you if your self esteem is so low you need to show off your characters gear and possessions in trades, gain wealth and stuff just so you feel good haha.

I don't know where you got all this from Doc's post, most people do in fact enjoy playing with other people on a MMORPGs.

Keep it topic related or posts will start vanishing. Thanks.

EDIT: And by topic related I meant anything pertaining to accounts or the sql project (Which is tied into account enabling). Main point is to keep off each others' throats. Remember, you're a community.

please open up new accounts agian... once again I am the ONLY person logged on. Luckily, I have introduced my gf's 7 yr old son to Diablo 2. Its almost as fun as UO, only easier for him to grasp and have fun with. I let him play my guys for about 5 minutes on valor, until he started throwing my suit and weapons on the ground.

Ahah, my nextdoor neighbour who is 46 couldn't grasp the concept of Diablo II. He took about 10 minutes typing in his name (gosh I hate slow typers) and couldn't figure out how to kill the zombies (by clicking on them, DUH) on Act I. Pwned.

Maybe when someone logs onto uovalor, they mods should delete the part of the welcome message that says "To increase the popularity, get your friends to join."

Patience is a virtue. Red's currently moving into his house this weekend so sql project is delayed for a bit but soon afterwards it will be nearing completion. I believe last I checked, he is 90% complete.
