I am wondering how many of you have played, or are willing to play, on a Player Ran Shard(PRS). I now have an AoS equipped PRS running, complete w/BOD books and all!! ;D Full world spawn, and I mean full! Dungeons, Ishenar,Malas, you name it! I've been test driving it the past few days and I really cannnot tell the difference as opposed to playing an OSI server, besides the ludicrous amount of room for houses!  I would appreciate info on this, as to what downfalls people have had in the past with this, and/or, any other comments! I know non-static IP's were an issue of the past, but I've got the cure for that. Just wanted input on this before I went any further. Thanks, and comments are all welcome!  |

I've played on a PRS Ras. Was how I initially got my feet wet in UO, back during Renisence. For the most part, the PRS I played on, "Shellinkroth" was very well done. Only major downsides to it, was the keeping up w/the changes going on in the UO World. The girl who was running it did a nice job for the most part, but like I said did have trouble keeping her patches up to speed. I'd be willing to play in another PRS, especially if I knew the ppl in it and those who were running it. Good luck in your endevours and let me know how it progresses as I'm interested in how it turns out.

Well I'll be honest with you Ras. Im not on catskills anymore. I'll pay here and there to be able to keep my characters and chat with my DoJ friends. But I myself play on on PRS. Its called IPY, In Por Ylem. It uses Razor which is kinda like UO Assist. We use UOAM, and the game is started through UO Gateway. Its run through Run UO. Yes there are jerks here, but there are jerks in any game you get online to play anyways. Its kinda a pre uo:r shard. And I like it very much. The one problem they face is that there are an average of 1500 people on all the time. So they are working on the lag issues.
But if you were to run one yourself for DoJ members I'd be willing to play there along with IPY. I guess in theory OSI could sue the people running a PRS. But I dont see it happening. There are tons in operation, and have been for a very long time. Although the one Im on is quite new. I got on it while it just started.
For me, I liked it when you had to worry about pk's, and I loved it when the badest wep out there was a vanq. So its for me. And there isnt any anti-macro code here. So you can gm say hide and stealth all without moving from one single tile. This way you can get skills worked fairly quick and enjoy said skills.
My favorite character on IPY right now is my thief Bill Sikes. He's GM steal, snoop, hide, stealth and workin on gm heal, anatomy, and magery. Got him joined in a guild called Trinsic Crew. There over thirty of us Thieves in it right now. which is major fun, heh. Vinny S. would be in heaven over here.
But I'd be willing to play with DoJ'ers on a private shard. If it was just open to us Doj'ers then you wouldnt suffer from the lag and grief. So Im all for it. ;D

What!?! Nobody else going to post a reply to this? I mean think about it. If Say 12 DoJ members said they were interested. Ras plays god there. He could actually set your characters up skill wise and you could just play. It would be a great place for everyone to meet up. You could post a get together there, all meet up and do a RP event with no great loss. No griefers, just plain fun. It would mainly be a great way to chat again for all of us not on catskills that the moment. Ill tell you this Ras. If you want another person on to test things out with. I'd be willing to be a test subject. I understand people enjoy working skills. But It would be kinda nice to do something along the lines of Test Center the way it used to be. Then people can have one or two characters everyone knows. Like my Ganesh or Uncle Cracker. Log on and go play, chat, ect. ;D So come on peeps, post away. Help ol' Ras out here, heh.  |

Cools, IPY runs on UO Gateway, so I'll just put it under my personal list of shards. I went there but its not there yet, heh.  Does razor work on yer shard too, please say its so. heh The nice thing is, if peeps show up and grief, you can just ban their account, heh. welp, as soon as it shows up on public shards list I'll log in and make a Ganesh, heh. This is an AoS shard right? So I'll need to make a template along the lines of that. God, what would be a rockin template? Im so out of it now that I've gotten to used to pre uo:r type shards, heh.  |

Says click (here)if you have uogateway already installed to auto-launch client. I click there and it loads my uogateway but all i have there under my servers is In Por Ylem. So I went to public servers but its not there yet, heh. But I did try the click (here) spot, heh. |

Ok I logged into the shard, its quite easy once you get into UO Gateway. But I already had gateway loaded. This can be a mighty fun shard people. So try it out, maybe we can get a quick get together soon. ;D |

Cabs you forget. Ras is god here. He can rename you, make you a girl, or whatever, heh. Its a great idea if you ask me. I like doing hunts with DoJ, if I want pvp other than in the group for fun. Then I'd go to IPY. This is kinda like what we do on Cats minus me paying for a "chat room" with a free game, heh . |
