Like a mod? No
maybe it was rikomi then. it wasn't a hack or anything it just said "tick" above the player when the poison ticked. it didn't have a countdown or anything. But yeah i saw his video. multiticks are fun and look impressive to people who don't know how to 5x, but multiticking like that is pretty easy when you have a 5xing opponent who is dumb enough to stay stationary.
everyone back then (4-5 years) saying the shard is dead finally got everyone's attitude to match. Now if something goes wrong to somebody in game, it's too easy to say "oh this shard is dead anyways". Hard to put time/effort into something that a majority of the populous feels is a waste of time.
And the splitting of player base over different shards. IPY took a huge chunk and most of those players never returned. Ryan's Revelations took a lot of players and slapped them all in the face with an early closure, and most didn't return. Demise is demise.
Ryan came back for like a week over a year ago, gave tons of handouts and got everyone excited and left quicker than he arrived. He has done it plenty of times. But when he came back, the player count (multiclienting) rose to over 1300. Events had 75+ participants in a 1v1 tourny. One ctf had nearly 300.
Mark wanted the reins of the shard. Never received them. Now he opens up hybrid 2 with zanzibar or w/e its called. Took another 75-100 players with him.
You're absolutely right ''most of them'' I was not trying to generalize when i said that (i shouldn't have said during that ''time'' it's really mostly just UO in general)
I'm not denying the skills of most people by saying that they were all cheaters , that would be totaly silly.
There's been alot of great players over the years for sure !
I've never played much with you but no doubt at all that you are a great group player man.
Hit me up sometime if you wanna do some 2v2 ^_^ ! ...
Oh and also between me and you we all know that cheaters have always been around and sometime they are very sneaky , i'm pretty sure that you know what i'm talking about.
If not , i can explain myself a little better but i don't think that i need to.
-Have a good day sir.
holy crap 221 active players? when i stopped playing 2 years ago there were still around 600-700. and back then I thought it was dead! what the hell happened? someone enlighten a poor vet!
According to Mark when he quit that number was falsified. The 600-700#. Apparently there was a script that increased the player count by double than it actually was.

Id say Geox was prolly the best player that played uog, he could prolly take the "best" current player without even trying lol
and he was prolly one of the few players that could 5x krrios bot
and a clone would shit on shinigani or whoever that guy is
but lol its uo and its dead
