UO Gamers: Hybrid population sucks.
It's a little bit better on In Por Yelm and is a different ruleset but it's not easy mode skill gains so the ADD crowd doesn't last.
I invented macroing text over spells.
Macro
/say In Vas Mani
/say In Por Yelm
/Say An Ort
/cast E bolt
People thought I hacked-my entire squad mastered got C+P spell macros so we'd all recognize what each other was casting.

Hold up your opinions and I'll tell you which one is my favorit.

Yeah, so I looked at this. I was bored in five minutes. 
I just do not have the attention span for dated games anymore.
Give it one play session. Go out and explore away from town. Walk the road. Listen to the music.

And 2 days later UOAssist and UOExtreme filtered that out.

It's a weird phenomenon. I've played with lots of Outposters in WoW and Vanguard and they're some of the best gamers I've ever played with (GC, Yuki, Cabby, Fred, Illy, Mo and Bleu Kitty to name a few). But the people here are, I dunno, what's the word I'm looking for? Not 'fickle.' I guess people here just play a ton of games and rarely stick with one game long enough to bother forming a guild around.
Yup. The natural tendencies of Outposters to be rugged individualists makes them bad candidates for group activities like raiding.
I believe Outposters make excellent first person shooters but putting them in a situation where cooperation and teamwork is involved is a recipe for failure. I saw it in Vanguard, I saw it in DDO, and I saw it in Rift.
Good people. Bad teammates. 
We had a solid group going in DDO for a number of weeks iirc. I really enjoyed that. Part of the problem seems to be that we are mostly working folks and live in different time zones, so finding evenings free to group together can be a pita.
That really seemed to be a lot of the problem in Rift as well. Combine that with some people playing predominantly during the week versus others during the weekend and you have an even bigger pain when trying to group with some folks. I actually had fun in the Outpost Rift guild. Until I realized I would (and did) hate the end game that was Rift and got bored fast. I see no reason why I would not have fun with the same people that play during my play times as well in GW2. And I hope this time PvP doesn't suck.

I would have considered it if you all were playing on the Angel Island shard.

Well I don't know if we are dead set of the hybrid shard. I started a char though anyhow. Yimsim. Do the skills you pick when creating the char matter or can I max everything anyway?

Oh they'res like a 700 or so total cap limit on skills, so max 7x gm or whatever. At least I think. I downloaded it and installed it but I patched it too much cause I wasn't watching it  !
I am down for any shard you guys suggest though. That one was just a suggestion, if anyone has any better ones I am all for it.
Also to be honest for me I will play a ton... until Diablo 3, then I'd probably quit to tell the truth.
