But not quite yet...(for me)
I have hit the 'proverbial wall" in SB, much as i did in all the other mmorpgs i have played/beta tested.
I guess UO was really just way ahead of its time (even to this day) and probably will never be recaptured. (much like Tribes... dare i speak of vengence..)
There is simply not enough to 'do' on a solo basis (period). In UO if my guild wasnt doing anything I could go out and find something to do. be it solo for another weapon of power or simply farm a few logs with my lowly lumberjack (for arrows,chests (of mass distruction ) or new furniture for my humble house.
I reallly wanted SB to be everything that UO was and more.
SB has done many many many things right, and i praise them for it. No other mmmorpg has come close to acknowledging and fostering the idea of PvP combat in an mmorpg. (other than UO of course)
The dependence on a guild is the 'bane' of SB. In UO you could be a solo artist if you wished. In SB you are reeequired to abide by the wishes of your countries GM (period)
This is not fun for me.
UO (in its prime)allowed for freelancing, and one could xp or pk on a whim without the need of politics or whatnot.
SB is a great step in the right direction for the mmorpg, but for me its not quite there yet.
Ive already paid my next moth subscription so ill be doing whatever in the mean time.
Keep your eyes out (Colassa peps) for when i start giving all my shit away.
Or maybe ill just get a summons to Khar or whatnot and make an unsuspecting summoner very, very happy.
