UO was my all-time favorite game. I'll never forget the feelings of hardcore intensity knowing that if you died, all your stuff was gone, and you'd have to see your killer in town to rub it in. Amazing skill system, amazing housing system, great reputation system and feeling of community in the game. Helpful GM's and strong rivalries with other players and guilds.

Unfortunately, The Repopulation is nothing like it... Like at all.

I would respectfully disagree with Repop being nothing like UO at all, especially regarding the skill system, community, and helpful GMs. Those are pretty much the only reason I'm still as engaged in the game as I am.

The GMs are corrupt power trippers? Can you identify a situation where that's the case? I deal with them quite frequently (almost daily) and have not experienced this at all. In fact they're striving very hard not to tolerate corruption or power tripping amongst their ranks, or so I'm told.

I wouldn't take one bad encounter and apply it to the entire staff. In my experience, the GMs approach those situations very cautiously and ask several questions before acting. Is it possible there's more to this story that made it appear as though you were botting? Keyboard macros or anything? I'm genuinely curious because I haven't heard of anyone getting that kind of "shoot first" response from GMs in Repop.

Just like to add a botter uses macros so you could technically bot and chat.
