Post by: Bob_the_fart_guy on February 25, 2009, 11:25:40 PM

Anyone concerned about the player-versus-player element of the game plays the 2-D client, because it is faster.

Texas Black was running KR, but has been dabbling in 2-D of late.

I have been known to pinch my nose and log on to KR in very brief stints to burn off some crafting, but that's it. Other than that, it completely has me baffled.

I have been using it more lately with my crafter as I can set up better macros and the hotbars are useful beyond belief.

only on the rare occassion that i need to pass something from account to account or need to log my mage to gate my tamer someplace, other than that i find it totally useless and bugged beyond belief.

Artful and I are 2d.    I tired it a few times and always went back to the 2d.   I do have it on the other side of my computer.  Its on a seperate op system.  To get there I have to restart the computer and I havent been there in ages and no virus protection on it.

Well, I have to say, that the default download is utterly useless.  If you want to try it, go to the KR forum on stratics and follow the directions for getting it set up and then download yourself one of the custom UI's that FIX all the big problems that EA sent out with the client.  BB_Enhanced is the most popular.  I think you really need to play it a couple of weeks before you get used to it.

 ;)  Hehe, thank you for the feedback. I'm wanting the reward items from killing the challenger of New Haven is why I asked. After researching it the only way you can earn one of these three items is to create a toon under the KR client. *sigh* I am not looking forward to KR, so I won't be staying there long. hehe.

I have tried the KR version of UO a few times. My computer does not seem to like it for some reason.

You may need to update your video driver.

There are some uses for it. Crafting its great, because you can set the amount to make etc. Also if you are doing a repeated step, which normally you get "you must wait..." message. The KR has much less server side restrictions. If you dont beleive me, make a macro to use wool on a loom. As fast as you can hit the button, it will make cloth. I mean mash it as quick as you can. But the 2d gives you wait to perform error.
