New players need to log in for the first time and see hundreds (thousands?) of players starting out at the same time they need to randomly encounter people while running through the woods or adventuring into dungeons and actually see people enjoying the game.

Making a legacy AoS server will drive nostalgia in veterans and intrigue new players, the idea of a fresh start and new economy 15 years after the last server was launched (Origin) is critical for the game and finally with Endless Journey this provides the perfect Trifecta to lure players to Ultima Online.

If we have any hope of attracting actual new players this is the best chance we got. Crafters were vital members of the community providing some of the best equipment available.

Current players like myself are increasingly frustrated with a lot of changes that have occurred lately this is a chance for UO to fix some of the things that have destroyed the community aspect of UO players past and present long to play the game when it was group oriented just a bunch of people going out hunting monsters and collecting gold no one was overpowered on a sampire or had 5 slot pets that eliminated the need to group to do content. This is a 17 year window that the game should attempt to capitalize on by putting the developmental time in to providing players the opportunity to take it all back to the start of Age of Shadows. Because of the fact many components of UO are still the same today as they were 16 years ago makes AoS the most logical choice for a new shard to be based upon, not to mention UO hit it's peak during the AoS expansion era which has carried gameplay for 16 going on 17 years now thats a 17 year window that players have enjoyed the game during that time span 17 years of old veteran players that may have quit due to changes they didn't like or simply took a break only to come back to see their friends have moved on or found it to difficult to get back into due to over complicated changes. Age Of Shadows has been the foundation of which Ultima Online has been built the last 16 years with most of it's features still functional in game today yes some has changed and been altered and new things added over the course of 16 years but the game at its core is still built on the same AoS model. I am here requesting a new shard be developed loosely based on the Age of Shadows expansion.
