I thought it would be a good idea to post up some "other" Classic Servers that are out there, and if anyone wants to add to this list just post below and I'll keep it going! Let's try to keep the servers to "quality" shards & servers that have a few hundred players on a regular basis, and good Dev/GM support.

Also, if you play on any of the other shards, post your name so we can hook up and play on those games during downtime here at P99.

Hmm for Ultima Online I thought that UOGamers:Hybrid was the largest/most popular with t2a content being the limit there. But they have taken a population hit, usually only around 800 clients logged in at once when I check now, used to be 1100ish. But you can multibox there too. Just thought I'd mention it

I believe Hybrid has allowed modifications and changes that stray from the Classic UO:T2A model. But I don't know this for sure, as I haven't played on that server. It was all hearsay from the guys on Second Age (so probably not even true). I will list Hybrid as a Classic Server as well.

I know that Second Age makes it absolutely as close as possible - including some of the original sucking points, such as having to cut up bandages one-by-one instead of in a stack. To me, that is what makes Classic... even the sucky parts :)

EDIT:
I just read Hybrid's intro, and they state up front that they balanced PvP and have increased skill gain speeds - so they aren't trying to emulate classic 100%. They took the T2A era, and made it more casual friendly.

Ya thats true - Actually there used to be this server called Metropolis - This was like Second Age and had slow skill-gains and no t2a content as far as I can remember.

It was heavily pvp-focused - Unfortunately that server ended up dying out, but they held pvp tournaments weekly from what I recall. It was fun times :)

UO Second Age is far more accurate than Hybrid.

Hybrid is kind of stupid, people got Beetles and Unicorns and there lumberjack warriors.

I'm interested in trying that Uthgard DAOC server if P1999 will be down a while.

Right now im playing PEQ.

That's what I had heard as well about Hybrid, hence why I didn't feel it was too classic. But I'll keep it on the list for now unless everyone votes them off the island :)

As a DAoC veteran that played since beta (when every mob was a nisse and all nukes had the fire wizard graphics) all the way until Labyrinth... Uthgard is a pretty cool server except for the fact it's literally as slow, if not slower, than original DAoC. Something there seems a bit fishy in that aspect.

If anyone actually is interested in playing there and leveling up, I'd be down for a Midgard group. Would need a shaman and tank class at the very least. An ideal group for PVE would be a war/thane, healer, skald, shaman, rm, sm.

I was playing on www.uosecondage.com in hte past month. Nice server. Got my magery up to 80 in a month with 50 meditation (from about 30 when I started). So unless you macro (I only macroed carpentry and bowcrafting to make shields and bows), it'll take a while to raise your skills.

Thanx.

The uthgard DAOC server sounds fun, no boxing allowed, classic zones, lots of german players.

Im downloading the free DAOC client and might give it a try, as well as playing on PEQ with a friend who can power level me like crazy.

Anyone try the uthgard server? Looks like its hosted in germany and my average latency is around the 200 mark. I couldn't tolerate playing FFXI with the lag from servers hosted in japan.. although the gameplay was inherently slow to begin with

edit: btw i'm from los angeles

Trying to remember some other games that I played.

Asheron's Call... haha.. or Anarchy Online. That'd be fun.

I quit Uthgard to play on 1999.

I have a 50 thuergist and various other random alts.

It was fun at the lower levels but endgame RvR is a joke.

I would suggest never leveling past 49 and just staying in Thid, that is where the fun RvR takes place.

Once you hit the RR cap in Thid, and you are forced out....just reroll

Not enough population to support full scale RvR, so you can run around for quite some time without ever seeing anyone, while in the battlegrounds, you are contained in a much smaller area

Played that when they first dropped the free-to-play thing.

Had fun with my university roommate, got to level 60 or so.

That one group dungeon from 25-60 or whatever is pretty fun, Temple? or something?

Got the bad ass looking armour from there, and bought a ship to fly around then quit out of boredom.

*Note* you can't travel to any expansion unless you upgrade to a pay account. Still fun to tool around in the original tho.

Does Uthgard have the level 20-24 BGs? I remember that being one of the most fun brackets.

I tried playing Uthgard but I don't really like DAoC that much. So I switched to AO, got a lil crat that's like 35-36 on RK1 that I started a few days ago. Name is Prude if anyone is really bored. Been doing a bunch of work shit from home though so dunno if I will play it much before P99 is back up.

Updated - added where you can play Meridian 59 (previous site didn't allow you to find anywhere to play).
