So my son and I played a few years ago and loved our time here. We wanted to play again (was a donator in the past), and while looking trhough free shard were delighted to discover that UO EVO was still going. couple of quick questions though before we jump back in:

 

1. I assume there is very little chance of recoveering our old accounts? I logged in using what I assume would have been my account name but it created a new account. Not a big deal if not.

2. For some reason, Razor really doesn't want to download, and UO Steam I can't get past the out of memory issue (tried lots of things). My question is, is Razor Community Edition allowed?

3. While I love that EVO has been around so long, there are some things that are hard to swallow compared with other, newer shards. First is smooth movement. For all the years I've played UO the choppiness of the movement never bothered me. But recently having tried out some other UO shards, I've noticed that many of them have some form of smooth movement in place. Now it's really really hard to go back to the old choppy. Is there ever any plan to implament something like this here? Am I missing some way I can do this myself? This really is enough to kill this shard for me, despite the fact that I would really like to come back.

4. Next is resizing the in game window. Most newer shards you can simply drag to resize the window, or even if done in Razor will allow just about any size. Here it seems that there are issues with resizing past a certain point that you just end up with black around the edges of the screen. It makes it hard when playing on a larger resultion screen as my play window is quite small. I'll be honest, I'd rather have people give it to me straight on these. If I'm missing something just let me know, but after having played elsewhere these make this shard feel very dated and these kind of seem deal breaking to me now. Which is again, unfourtunate, as I really would like to come back here. So are there any plans on updating these sorts of things?

5. I would need to page a GM to allow for a second account at my IP as my son would like to play with me again, but for the life of me I have forgotten how to page a GM?

 

Thanks in advance. I did love our time here and would like to come back, but maybe it seems in many ways modded UO has moved past where this shard is (in terms of modern gameplay, but not modded gameplay). Help me come back and love this shard.
