I will take it upon myself to reply to what I can on this thread.
1. Rainman, Divinity did not start off with those timers. I can't retrieve the exact formula at the moment since I am not home. I knew Jacob which was the original author of Divinity. I helped him develop some of it. That shard has went through so many timers just like every other Pre Ren shard. It is a baseless pvp system with little or no skill at all since day one. Jacob didn't even start playing UO until almost 2002... Would you seriously want a UOR player scripting a Pre Ren shard? I know I sure as hell wouldn't.
2. Dirty Sanchez, I still remember you from the ol' Baja days and RoJ. I don't mean to sound a bit conceted but I was probably the best pvper on RoJ. The reason RoJ was like no other pre uor shard is because they used an emulator that didn't support auto equip weapons like they do now. Grant it that they did have Injection early on but that was removed at a later date. The pvp system was no different than your every day fake t2a shard like Divinity. However, it took a majority amount of skill to pvp in that system since you had to manually equip and unequip the weapons. Which is why that was one of the best t2a servers to date. I am sure there are still a few veterans out there that remember the pre-t2a days when you had to manually equip or unequip weapons.
3. DL, that is your interpretation of a Board Warrior. Bob is right, that server is shit. I am sure by now that you have figured that out.
4. Creager, are you the same person that spent a lot of time on PKHQ and was friends with Pooh Bear? You also had a curly fro if I remember correctly, that is if you are the person I am talking about.

Well here is the REALLY crazy thing that utterly blows my mind. I can understand him not having the timers 100% correct. However, you would think they would try to emulate it as best as possible. All the information I know I got off archive.org from uo.stratics.com in 1998.
So here is the crazy part. They have the exact 100% '98 t2a timers and damages. TO fuck with our heads they even put it up on test center one day and it was awesome. They got it from the UO demo that came with a select amount of T2A release disks. It is PERFECT. No syncing, proper damage and spells. It felt really good. Then they never put it on at all! WTF is wrong with these guys? This is suppose to be a T2A server and they keep making it more and more UOR. That's why the population dropped from 1200 to 500

This is all speculation on my part from my past experiences with Ryan and Zippy. It simply comes down to pleasing the UOR base from Hybrid. When they got WTFMan to promo their shard a lot of players from Hybrid started playing. This is of course "hear say" on my part since I really haven't followed their shard/politics for at least a few years now. When a UOR player hops on a Pre Ren shard they always expect recovery timers, always.
There are only three main factors when producing a Pre UOR shard. Accurate insta hit, spells including damage and timers, and correct weapon damage and timers. The poison system is also a key factor which was quite obvious with Novus Opiate. They had a pretty accurate overall system except poison and yet it still ruined the pvp.
To wrap it all up it simply comes down to Ryan's ego. That Eddie Munster looking faggot obviously knows nothing about creating a Pre Ren shard, and prefers catering to his traditional UOR base before he ever would create an accurate Pre Ren shard. When it comes to someone who actually knows what they're doing his altered ego kicks in. There is no way in hell that "you" would ever know more than him on the subject matter. That is why I will never again play another RunUO shard or even assist in one. Ryan has to be about the most ignorant fool next to Azeroth when it comes to running a UO shard. You want to know what the sad part is? From what I gather Jacob's version, a man who hasn't even played T2A, that his pvp system was more accurate to the time period than what has came in the last few years. That is just sickening.


Shit happens, blame Bush!
