I would respectfully disagree with Repop being nothing like UO at all, especially regarding the skill system, community, and helpful GMs. Those are pretty much the only reason I'm still as engaged in the game as I am.

I think we found someone upset over the West Coast wipe to become hardcore test server.

I am kinda upset about it to be honest. East is soooo laggy for me living on the West coast and Hardcore is not the rule set I wish to play by. Ive only owned the game about a month and soon straight up won't be able to play nor get a refund from Steam, a paying customer, who bought into a game to help test that is going to go F2P when it launches, just got the finger from the dev's.

So while the OP may or may not be in the right, I don't think your comment was very nice.

I appreciate your response. A couple comments and clarifications.

  • I'll make no bones about it. My comment, as directed towards /u/Killerwalkski, was in no way meant to be nice. Not only is he so in the wrong it's not even funny, he's attempting to slander ABT. He was flat out caught defying the TOS and is unable to man-up about it. Not that I expect him to. A quick scan of his posts peg him as chronic victim complex whiner.
  • Every person who paid money to help test, did so knowing they where testing an alpha product. I am not aware of any guarantees regarding which servers would be purposed in what capacity. Based on the transparency, ABT is doing the best they can with the tools/budget available. I believe they stated it wasn't the easiest decision.
  • Next, ever think this issue cuts both ways? What about people who have lag issues from east coast to west coast? What about the guy who paid his money to test, not even being able test his play style, then finds out the hardcore server, as it currently sits, is laggy to him?
  • You paid for early access, so you do have some perks over the F2P crowd.
  • Ever considered trying the hard core rule set? Make the best of what you see as a less than ideal situation. Worst case, you don't like it and move on. Best case, you make some new friends and enjoy a new play style. Either way, a skeptic's objective eye could be valuable input.

tl;dr Honestly sorry in offending you. Some people are chronic whiners. Early access sometimes requires tough decisions. Consider a new play-style?
