So, OSI has finally launched Kingdom Reborn, the new all-singing, all-dancing UO client. I haven't tried it yet, as I no longer play regularly on OSI, plus I've got just a little scared of downloading new content from EA games after the last few disastrous patches.
Can anyone who's played KR give me their thoughts on comparisons between the new and old clients, and especially due the fact that Razor/UOAssist will not work with the new client, your thoughts on how the new client addresses this difference?
Thanks!

I've never tried the game. Is it something you can make money from, or it just for the fun of it?

Wow, this thread is 2 years old! And to think you never got a constructive response. :-(
Well, the verdict on KR for me was not a good one. I have an older video card that didn't like KR's new lighting/graphics system. Unless you have a monster Game machine this client is not worth the time. Furthermore, the whole interface makes you re-learn how to do things in UO. That's not good.
The client is also a memory hog. I have well over a gig of memory and if you enter cities or places with lots of goodies on the screen it will bog your system down.
I had the client on my system up until about 2 months ago and decided to delete it since it was just taking up over a gigabyte of disk space.
I actually preferred the old 3D client that basically mirrored the 2D version but with some additional goodies like actions/ better graphics.
Now Stygian Abyss is in Beta and will replace the KR Client. I just hope they keep the 2D client since it is the most user friendly even if it is outdated. But then again I am a classic kind of guy. :-)
