Also, I've put many years into the game, and helped a lot of new people in hopes to keep them from leaving. I think I've earned the right to state my $.02 on my predictions.
:P
"Due to OGPlanet's discontinuation of service on September 29th, all Uncharted Waters data on their servers been lost"
probably going to get flamed by someone saying this but.... not sure we can blame Papaya for this as they may not of gotten complete data transfer from OGP before they went bust and shut everything down. Now I may be speculating here but if all they were provided in a usable format were lists of users / accounts and the other data they got detailing what was related to each account was not in a useable format due to corruption with no option to get a good copy of such data (as the servers are gone) then Papaya is doing what they can to compensate us.
Am I happy about loosing years worth of work invested into this game? No.
Am I going to quit and stop playing one of the most enjoyable games I have ever played because of this? NO.
Am I discounting the loss that lots of other players have suffered because of this ? Heck no!!!
Sail on and enjoy the game ....
Also, vigour food is easy to get: Buy it from the taverns. I often did that on the old server since I'm not going to buy overpriced sfn.
All the veterans can give you is how they did it and maybe give you freebies. But considering that that so many people think trading = race to spice/nanban I think their advise is ..dubious.
But the thing is, you don't need to be the best, you need to have fun and I belive letting so-called veterans tell you what to do is actually bad, since you have less incentive to try your own path.
I came back to uwo after a break - only to learn that it is closing so I don't know how the last months were, but most of the time I played the secret to having fun lied in three things: not being overly competetive (in the sense that you should not rage about more successfull ppl), having a nice/chatty company and staying out of the world chat.
I have played for a long time (with breaks tho) and I don't know most of these so-called legends.
What is the point in them anyways? Why would I care who is somehow better than I am?
All I see in this forum is that too many people are focused on the late game. The early game is fun on its own. You will have & make less Ducats - but that struggle *is* part of the fun. Enjoy the early game for what it is and don't focus on the late game so much oô

this was a test account my main papaya account is AtemsUWO.
So this is a rant from a semi-vet:
I'd be really excited for the wipe except for the fact that they're dumping items and cash into the economy right from the get go. I've decided to make a new account, and start completely fresh regardless.
My issue with the game, particularly during the OGP period, was the absolutely insane inflation. Players could win huge amounts of money in the form of checks, and they could sell items from the cash shop for an exorbitant rate. Seville's markets were absolutely inflated to hell and back.
I admit that I was part of the problem. I sold premium items that I snagged for millions of ducats. Why wouldn't you though? They were there waiting to be sold.
Then there were premium ships. That's all fine and good, but I never spent the money on the lottery games to get one. Sure, you could get a really decent, player-made ship, but you'd always be outclassed by somebody who spent real cash and won an amazing ship by chance.
My hope with this change of hands is that the developers will get the item shop and in-game inflation under control.
If they give returning players too much compensation, you will have a very distinct class divide between new players, and veterans. That could end up hurting the game in the long ron.
