The situation right now

@BlackEye I wish you would reconsider but it sounds like you've had your mind made up regardless of the elf spawners.

Oh, and........

Ripping off Ariadne a 3rd time would definitely be a reason to stay. I love it when the mad catwoman of UO:R (who naturally isn't involved in any shady weirdo hybrid Player-who-isnt-Staff-but-in-fact-is-Staff situation *irony*) becomes angry and quacks like a duck. *bazinga*

.

Wait!! My AMIBs!!

Then put someone in place to keep things up while you are understandably busy with other things? I can't begin to truly advise. This thing started long before me and I most certainly don't hold the answers.

I can only presume that I understand where blackeye is coming from. To some of us, UO is filling a necessary part of our day/week. It's something we enjoy and to some of us... it's an addiction by definition. When some of us perceive that our "hobby" is being messed with it can be very upsetting. no implications... see: general terms

No matter what you do somebody out there hates you for it.

Everyone has different views on how the game should be and how players should play it. There's a few people very angry with me right now, for example. I personally feel they can go jump on a corn cob but hey... if I really think about it, perhaps they have a point.

The point is we all have our perception of this environment. When we return to it each day/week/month we have expectations that it won't change and if it does... not by too much and we'd hope it is accepted as an improvement. To some, it's rather critical that it doesn't change at all.

I don't know about you all but UO is my crack. Mess with it and I will react like a crazed junkie until a suitable substitute is found. For example...

In other news...



That shtuff right ^ .... It pisses me the *&(*&( off. Some will agree, others will "meh", and of course some will disagree and chastise me for my opinion.
That's how the world works, yo.

I joined this... "UO:Renaissance is an Ultima Online free-shard, based on Renaissance era mechanics, without the influences of Trammel."

It is exclusively what initially enticed and recruited me to play here.

To try to summarize, there's what... 2, maybe 3 people looking over this whole thing?

They can't see everything all the time and they most certainly can't rush to solve all the things the 100's of us disagree with.
I would however hope that perhaps someday, this wonderful server could recruit and expand upon it's staff.

I'd do it but, I'm too crazy. I'd spawn silver serpents with laser beams on their heads to kill every last one of you

@BlackEye I'm curious on your thoughts about how to strengthen the economy. (or how this is affecting it negatively)

Mass inflation is inevitable in a game where new currency is added to the economy every time a monster is killed, and said monsters spawn indefinitely. Them's the breaks.

I can only assume that the "very few people" who are being made "really rich" are putting in more time, and likely money. Sure they probably realize it's super profitable, and are gaming it super hard, but this is a game after all.

If your beef is with the shard being "anti-renaissance era fantasy event shard", I get it. But if you'd asked yourself why you've stuck around this long in the first place, you'd surely have already found the answer you seek. (You have no better options)

*shrug*

If you're going to state your grudges, the least you can do is be concise about it. Noone ever changed another person's mind by throwing a fit. (Once again, I know from experience.)

long life UO:R

Chris, you need to change your font to comic sans

It makes everything better.

At the risk of sounding like a suck-up, I just figured it would be good to chime in some support. It is easy to complain, but rarely do people take the time to post praise and thank Chris & Company for what has been built.

I just don't get how someone could be that unhappy given the amount of effort he has put in, even if you might not agree with every decision made. His passion for the game and to provide a home for all of us is rare, and it seems there's some who just go stomping from server to server like a wrecking ball and try to use it when they don't get their way.

We are all here because we think it is a pretty awesome place to play. So for every complainer out there, there's plenty of non-vocal very happy players. Long live UO:R and thanks to all the staff that keep this place going.

Indeed Aris; I'll chime in as well. Thanks so very much to every single volunteer, well done.

Blackeye, your anger towards other people almost makes me cry. Not because of your comments, but something must be very hurtful in your real to let such anger seep into a game world.

The Chinese soft-shelled turtle urinates through its mouth....

That's what I call: classy.

There was an elf trapped in the secret room of Khaldun last I looked if someone wants to pull the levers and go in....unless someone got him already.

FYI,
UO:R is the BEST free UO shard:
NO pay-to-win!
Classic experience!
NO pink glowing houses!
Exactly like in 2000 but better
Fun!Fun!Fun!

But YES, delays can be really unpleasants. Its the one and only negative point i can find here.

Thank you @Chris (and your staff) for all your great works!

I love this place, but I do have to agree that the event center stuff needs to stop. It's been a long standing issue. Can we turn off skill gain completely in Trammel?
