Hope not, it was anti-roleplaying, glorified the players with names such as 'K3WL D00D', of course on day 1 there will be anti-roleplayers such as this guy, but I won't be giving them any more time than this solitary post.
He told me he wasn't going to pledge to kickstarter. (The graphics look dated) I sent him the RG interview markee dragon did and assured him they weren't the graphics we'll see in game. He didn't respond so I assumed that was a negative. His comics were pretty hilarious back when I first started playing UO. I'll hope that he does return, even if he doesn't pledge before alpha.
Fireangel, i never did tell you, my brother was ImaPutz in his comics and on his shard. I myself never met the guy, but my brother was fairly involved with their stories, even if it was more towards the end of our UO days. My brother however has already been thinking of ways to bring it back, and even tried to make an Imanewbie video series in SWTOR, didn't get past the teaser trailer lol. But this is the type of game it would be for.
If you seen my some of my posts then you already know I love the comics and begging for these comics to come real again.
I wish the game was like his comics (ability to kidnapping people, knockout somebody unconscious (without actually killing a target), sleeping and hundreds of other stuff Photoshop in his comics does, but not the game itself.
not the same thing by far, but: I fully plan on having the caverns doing a news feed, similar to this: http://casualstrolltomordor.com/2013/06/lilikates-creatures-episode-8-old-forest-spiders/ Id like to recruit someone into the guild that would be interested in heading such a project, but ultimately if not I am hoping to do it myself. Note that this is just one example, there is a regular theme done.
wtfman.com and imanewbiew.com were one of my fave back in the day as well, wish they would come back, although Nighthawk's last post on wtfman.com points more towards like nothing of the sort will happen.
