    Oh actually, it's no problem: I will name the boxes "Ransom to be payed to BlackEye". I will even start a trade forum thread for Ransom payment with all the boxed ships listed. Problem fixed!

    So much work to grief people! GL man, and hopefully you don't drive too many new players out of here with your shenanigans.

    Oh you are right, let me widen the breadth of your threatened grief from beyond simply new players. Any player who gets their boats blocked in by a bitter old thief and 4 boats is going to be left wondering, "Why would someone go so far out of their way to be an asshole? And why do I invest my time into playing somewhere with a bunch of assholes?"

    And this isn't about trammel. I would be all for making it so you could be looted anywhere on your boat, and then to appease the great blackeye make it so only SLOW commands and turns (IE slow forward) could be heard by the tillerman when you are a ghost. Then piracy would have actual potential, and people wouldn't trap boats just to be assholes.

    I think the biggest fear I would have here is the trolling that would happen. Boxing in newbs with boats is one thing. Keeping a few BS on the deck and a poison field on the recall spot in hopes of obliterating 15 characters because they have no other recourse is another thing entirely.

    If instead the boat deck mechanics were fixed so that A) no item decay happened and B) ore pile combining mechanics were fixed, you would have another far more viable and lucrative target to attack... The boat miner. Ghost or not, if you have them pinned against a mountain they're not getting away and you could loot their ore easily.

    At least that's what I may or may not have done in my time as a UO pirate...

    Boat holds are already huge. Boats should be able to be boarded and the hold broken into by an LP (should also be possible to trap the holds and the gangplanks).

    Not sure if serious.
    Anyway, I don't play like everyone's out to get me... that'd be crazy.

    After some rest, if you want to discuss the other two... you guys just lemme know.
