NPC you should try Outlands (P99 type free server). Its classic UO that they have made way more grindy (not in skills up points, but in leveling the custom stuff). 7X GM doesnt mean shit, its all about your other levels. its a great blend of skill based and level based systems working together. Its same T2A UO on a custom map with a bunch of cool added shit. Like you can get weapon codexs that require XP to level up from killing monsters that give you added bonuses, Aspects to level up that do the same, and they have the same systems in place for Summoners Tombs and Taming. Its great that you can play whatever you want and be pretty good.

They have balanced the game very well so that if you have all the Aspects and Codexs and Mastery Chains and Tombs and shit leveled up whatever build you choose is competitive. Its not just an army of tamers and halberd mages (those are still there, but they are not so much better than everything else that that's ALL there is).

They have slowed down mount speed and you can not be mounted at all in dungeons so the game is a little slower and it makes it much much much more enjoyable. Its pretty easy to get away from PKers but you will still run into them very often and other players are the biggest danger in the game by far (and there are plenty of griefers but not to the point where you cant do stuff)

This is the best UO server i have ever played on and ive played several - has a 2000+ pop
