Add Platinum Checks

You also think you can sell a fort for 25 mil....

I'm not going back to read all these pages so I'll just leave my 2 cents... Forgive me if it's been already stated.

I don't agree with platinum checks.
A. Trades in town are "blessed" for around 30 seconds. Bank immediately after the trade, or recall, either way thieves are screwed.
B. Trading outside of town and using platinum (i.e. house): Accept the platinum in town and then complete the trade at the house. If there is a trust issue then just don't use the platinum as a currency.
C. I'm pretty sure I know who has the largest plat stack on the server, and I'd wager I'm not too far behind. Neither one of us have enough platinum, nor deal in enough platinum, to warrant checks.

My last large platinum trade was for 1k plat. The player asked me to meet him at the stables and because it was too far from the bank for my comfort I asked him to bring the horse to the bank so the trade could be conducted there. 1k plat was safely traded from my bank box to the player, then from the player to his bank box. No need for checks here. In the event I needed to trade 1k plat for, let's say, a house.. then I would have to really weigh my options and the level of trust with who I'm dealing with is likely the deciding factor. Sure, a check would add a lot of piece of mind but I'd hate to see another 13 page thief thread on these forums because they got the shaft again.

I just don't see this being a problem that needs any codework right now.

Peace*

Oh, you're leaving again? I should've known.

*your

sigh.

As el horno said, checks were done as a safe way to move thousands of stones worth of weight. Plat checks should have the same weight reduction benefits.

The fact that plat is worth 10k per is player driven, not an in game mechanic.

This server is headed towards the "click yes to engage in player combat" stage faster than we think.

sigh.

How are you in a position to lecture the admins? Chris said he coded it a long time ago. It's an idea, and it does have merit otherwise we wouldn't be discussing it.

Faster than we think? On what basis? Almost nothing has changed here since your join date. Stop insulting the people who put time and effort into giving you a free game to play.

100% agree with you however a different opinion doesn't mean that it's insulting as someone above us said.

As I stated, checks for other currency are great as long as they follow the current check mechanics. In my opinion.

As for the "trammelization" of the server, Gestas put it perfectly and I can't disagree with him nor add anything.

If my post came across as anything other than a tip of the cap to both gestas and elhorno it was not my intention and I apologize. Tone is hard to convey online.

As for you, usually I ignore you but I must commend you on your astute ability to virtually blow anyone with any authority or high standing on this server.

It doesn't go unnoticed.

Without confrontation there is no change.

And I appreciate your relentlessness to comment on my every post. Admirable.

Not sure if it's tone or content. If you take the last sentence out entirely, or replace it with something like "But I trust Renaissance staff will do what is best for the server" then it's all good. You just have to go shit all over your own post with a negative outlook on where things are headed. This will naturally cause people to regard what you said previously in a different light or disregard it entirely.

Well said and noted.

I'll work on it!

You ignore me because you can't back up anything you say when I call you on it. Once again, feel free to reply to one of my many pm's where I've tried to address this with you directly. I don't know what authority or high standing is supposed to mean on a UO server in 2017. There are the people who own and work on this server, who deserve our respect, and then there are cool people and less cool people. Your outlook is another great example of how you think players don't deserve to be enjoying themselves in whichever ways they want. You seem to really love being a have-not, despite what you may or may not have and your assumptions about other players, and I can't help but think this is a pretty strong reflection of your character.

lmao...clever
