Nothing ever stays the same. Things are always sliding in one direction or another. Generally speaking, people ought to address problems by extrapolating the next logical steps of progression rather than acting as though the current or suggested state of affairs could last indefinitely. Unfortunately, that's not how that goes in reality either. When it gets to the point where a ghost standing outside Ophidian Keep observes ~7 different groups of PKs gating through in a single hour, revisit the subject. Maybe you'll have luck then, though history suggests otherwise.
Hi again. One, I have been on this server since the Alpha test. Yes, it is true that there are more PKers than there were three months ago, but it is also true that there are more miners, tailors, all play styles. The only way to make it like it was, is to reset the server back three months. I don't want that to happen, nor can I believe anyone else does either. This is not a criticisms, I am just extremely curious, you come up with many ideas, has these ideas been tested on another server you played, or one you have run yourself? thanks
You really will be out there forever, because I chose Trammel a long time ago. Enjoy your wait. Of course Fel was PK barren. The gravy train had left the station and no amount of raging was going to bring it back. They left in droves because they didn't want to face the prospect of seeing no victims for hours, or days, and they didn't want to do anything else either. I see exactly what you're saying and agree. When PKs rolling through is that frequent, PvM is suppressed for the great majority of players. Some super-master PvP ninjas could handle it and organized large groups of PvMers could handle it, but the great majority of players who aren't either one of those things would be idiots to even attempt to PvM and make themselves easier targets being tied up with monsters. They might as well just recall in and wait for the next incoming red. Prepare for everyone to tell you how wrong you are though. Same old, same old. I wish you well. I just stopped in out of curiosity to see if UOR was steering or veering the course. I'm going to return now to playing with people who are thankful and blessed to never have to have these retarded, circular, never-ending arguments again.
I hope nothing changes. I've played on a handful of free servers and this server , by far, is how I remember my UO. But even better! There was a time when you couldn't go outside of town guards without a PK attacking or killing you, no matter what type of char you played. That's what I remember from late 1997, early 1998. You don't see that here. Therefore, my hope is that we leave the Reds alone. I don't see the Reds traveling in packs, (Chesapeake and Siege) . If I see a PK it's usually a solo char or a small group. There are some great guilds here, join one! Safety in numbers! Just don't change anything to hinder their ability to play or have the desire to play their personal choice of play style. Regardless, It's always a good day to live or die!! My two gold pieces.
I have not voted as the option to leave things as they are is not available, and I agree with those above who have said that.
In the morning,(my timezone) there is rarely a pker to seen. If only there were more would give me a reason to go out to farm. I can only wish i could being putting up a fight against them in the peak hours.. a death to a pk is a honorable way to die! I can go hours and without seeing one. Only pk was red and his blue friend (till he killed me), they were lucky i had just lost my horse to a elder and manged to chase me till they got me... but, apon calling on help in irc. both ended up dying.
Notice how the drama in this thread is from mainly pvpers? Pvping and pking is fine, it's unfortunate that the results from it are overwhelmingly negative. It's really a blemish on this server, the culture doesn't have to be this way. I really don't know how Telamon has the patience, because some people and guilds make it a goal of theirs to just shit on people. Nuff said.
I hope you intended to include yourself, considering you just resurrected a week old thread obviously for the purpose of inciting more drama. Pvp is a core part of this shard, if it were not we would simply be playing in trammel.
First off theres already a risk when being red and pking(stat loss) and what not so it doesnot need any changes. If you we're to go onto a majority of other servers today, there is no such thing as stat loss so they are able to kill/die whenever with no risk so consider the fact that there is a penalty in the first place and be grateful
