[edit] UOGamers

This is just any Ultima Online-shard, like there are hundreds out there. Also this page is an orphan! just noticed it by random. --Jestix 06:58, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete article doesn't even make it clear exactly what it even is: "Built and Run by the team that wrote RunUO, UO Gamers is the owner and manager of three online shards." The first part of that makes it sound like a computer, while the last makes it sound like a person. In any case, not notable, no reliable sources, WP:WEB, all the usual stuff.

  • Well, it's stylistically pretty shoddy, but let me rephrase what this article tries to say, as I parse it: "UO Gamers is a group of people (?), affiliated with the RunUO [Famous Ultima Online server emulator] authors, who run three unofficial Ultima Online game servers." --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 15:44, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete - due to their nature, probably not notable enough for an article of their own, but due to the size of the servers, they probably deserve a brief mention somewhere though (RunUO?) --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 15:44, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Comment - No, with a lot of force, bad temper, and even a mediation request it (as well other shards) were finally removed from RunUO. The fact is, it atracts lots of l33t-kid server admins as well adding their shard. With the comment, why may this shard be here and that not. Also rising a lot of bad temper why people counting themself to the runuo development team may add their shards to wikipedia page, while others may not. And I really don't thing we want a comprehensive shard (server) listing on wikipedia.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jestix (talk • contribs) .

Mmm, you're probably right. There was similar issue with Legend of the Green Dragon: People were adding random game servers, so I kind of decreed that only official servers (and heck of a notable otherwise) should be listed, and for the rest, link to LotGDnet was added. And it worked. We're not a server directory, really; Listing official servers in LotGD is alike to saying "there's the UO official shards (here, here, and here), and there's random others too, but we're not listing them because judging their worthiness is difficult." --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 18:51, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

UOGamers is a 3rd party server, not an "official" UO server. However I don't know, it might be the largest "unofficial" server out there... --Jestix 19:06, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, that's what I meant, as in "UO has official shards run by Origin Systems (or at least what's left of it, these days), run at (locations); there's unofficial shards that are based on things like RunUO, but we can't list them blah blah blah". Sorry if I was unclear. =) --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 09:09, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete This is an advertising stub for a site of questionable notability. If its notability can be established it should be merged with RunUO. Lord Rasputin 18:25, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
