UCM is generally regarded as something not designed by Turbine and the AC Client.

---------------------------------------------------------------


Exactly my point UCM is also not designed by Decal or the Decal Devs. UCM was/is the product of lazy people who feel they are entitled to rewards without work. Decal is NO more responsible for UCM than is AC or any other tool used in creating the plugins.


We could stop writing Decal, and people would (did) create UCM programs using nothing but Visual Basic or C++. So do you believe it is Microsoft's responsibility to change their programs, and controls so that they cannot be used for writing game hacking tools? Decal only effects one game. VB and C effect every single game out there.

Now if he will just stay unplugged.

Just let me have a macro that can buff me and track things and I'm a happy camper.

short time healing function would be nice to, be it by life magic or healing kits.

dont forget to restam if needed.

I'm not sure why people keep talking about 'the downfall of AC'. AC is still going, It's even expanding (so I'm led to believe).


UCM was once legal so that can be thrown off the table straight away. It only becomes a factor since the rule changes.

XP chains actually retained a HUGE number of players. I didn't like them or use them myself, but they were a very large part of what AC became. Once those were nerfed there was a MASS exodus from AC.


There were only three things which cased the decline of AC.


1. No one able to purchase the game = no new customers.

2. No advertising or free trial = no new customers.

3. Nerfs = driving the current players away.


All of those are solely in the hands of the games owners. They are the ones solely to blame for the current state of the game.

and your not helping either.


For christs sake you have the title of "Savior of AC" on your VN account. Wtf. Just go away already or release your source. What do you care?

Yeah, I know.

are we done Remembering the Past ?

UCM and chains had certainly a great part in the downfall of AC, but let me tell you something, when u go to a game store and ask for Asheron's Call, well vendors, they simply never heard of this game. If you say EQ or WOW they just point you to the right shelf.


AC is a great game, imo the best game but there is no distribution, no adds. This has been going on for years, even IBN said players SHOULD advertize for it, how dumb can it be, we are after all part of a quite closed community.


IF there was new blood, then Turbine would have the money to enforce the Coc and make it an healthier game. We can always blame plugins but imo advertizement is the main reason for this downfall.

(Vellus quote, by the by - forum lost it somehow)--> Duri, just because it is over, that is not a reason to forget/ignore it.


We remember the wars, we remember 911, we remember dead relatives, we remember our youth....etc.


Tank is/was a major part of AC, whether some like or not. It is/was a major utility, so it is appropriate to talk about it on the utilities board.(end quote)


You are equating the demise of a free plug-in for a game with your mother dying. With memories of your first sexual encounter. With 3000+ people burnt, charred and liquified.


Again, another positive proof that manufacturers have made computers far too easy to operate.


Seriously, quit playing games, on or offline, until you have some vague grasp on reality. You're frighteningly hyperbolic.
