makes me smily

Oh well since NDA is lifted my opinion is "Omg the crapness". I liked only few effects and the trees

The rest is quite ugly. The "3d" client was better

I REALLY don't understand why EA would spend so much effort in creating a client like KR, while what they should have done is grab the UO2/UXO resources and put together a real 3D client.

thats true.

they also grab much ressources (shaders/soundsystem/aso.) from Warhammer Online . You can see it, they forgot to remove the gui from warhammer in the uop files. *lol

That will be a smart move, so not a EA typical move

AND I also think EA is going in the wrong direction with UO - this game remains one of the top (if not the best) MMORPG because of its richness in content. Being able to interact with the world as it should be - things like mining, farming, crafting, houses, milking a cow, etc. makes this game great. I personally find the KR client laggy and hard to use.

I think Lord British had it right before: creating an open world with no restrictions, and let the players rule themselves. Unfortunately EA has been in constant violation of this rule: ever since they published Trammel/Felucca, UO has gone into the wrong direction.

To me, KR is one step forward towards this wrong direction. It seems like they've got a team who doesn't understand what Ultima is, and has absolutely no appreciation of the game. What a pity.

- end of bashing

although it would be nice to grab the KR resources and use them to our advantages

UOKR feels pretty decent but it lacks so much on some areas, like the GUI. The tiles and world graphics, from what i can tell from screenshots, are pretty damn nice.
