Good evening fair citizens of Demise, honored staff, and guests to the shard who may be reading this:
We all know that MusclyBarbarian is a prolific recorder of in-game video and that he often posts these videos online, as well as links to them in this forum. In fact, he posts these videos under the YouTube moniker "MB RunUO Demise". And that is the problem, or at least part of it.
These videos are (presumably) meant to show Demise in the most positive light possible. And while I commend him for his efforts and wish him nothing but the best in his future video editing career, I'm sure that I am not the only one who has noticed his in-game visuals do not look anything like my own. In fact, they look atrocious. His in-game graphics look nothing like the UO that Demise truly consists of. I am personally worried that travelers of the internet who are in the market for a post-AOS Ultima Online server to play on may stumble upon his videos and be immediately turned off by what appear to be giant partially-visible titans roaming the screen. There are no ethereal titans in place of wraith-form players on Demise. There are no strange tiles taking the place of field spells. There ARE trees in Felucca, though leaves they have not. And the server most assuredly does not tell you "Cha-Ching!" when you have slayed someone in battle.
This is an official petition to ask the staff to intervene in the case of MusclyBarbarian and ask him to either cease and desist posting these videos under a YouTube name associated with RunUO's glorious Demise server, or to remove said graphic mods from his client forthwith, so as not to further sully the good reputation of this server that we all love so dearly.
Signed,
Rayth
