The people saying the spawns are all about the PvP are deluding themselves, if they were not then they wouldn't be the ones selling Power Scrolls for absurd amounts of gold, especially with the introduction of the Faction Items. They keep saying how suits are cheaper and easier to build so why do they still need so much gold?All I seem to hear is that the spawns are about the PvP, not the money... Anyone who genuinely cares about PvP will still go to Fel and kill each other anyway, so what harm is brought by making scrolls available in Tram rulesets?
I play in Tram more than Fel, but seriously Fel needs a FEW extra perks to get people there... even if champs are the only place to find fel ppl.All I seem to hear is that the spawns are about the PvP, not the money...

You'd probably get a few more folks into Fel if the PvP culture showed a bit more tact and respect for their fellow player. The Smack talk and complete lack of restraint shown to other players from most of them after they gank some poor fool 6 vs 1 just makes me want to smack the crap out of their parents for not raising their children with a sense of Integrity, Tact, and Honor.I play in Tram more than Fel, but seriously Fel needs a FEW extra perks to get people there... even if champs are the only place to find fel ppl.
Pfft there was a lack of tact from a large part of the playerbase before fel. That's why we got Tram.You'd probably get a few more folks into Fel if the PvP culture showed a bit more tact and respect for their fellow player.

Fel's issue isn't lack of reason to go there, it's lack of civility of the majority of players (Note: Majority does not equal All) that do frequent there.
Exactly, and it's also why they have issues getting people back into Fel today. Unless EA polices the conduct of the players in Fel, or they do it themselves, I see no point in long term continuation of projects to "Repopulate" Felucca as they will be futile.Pfft there was a lack of tact from a large part of the playerbase before fel.

The thing is though... we DO have players that love to pvp and 'talk smack'. I think it's only fair they too have something to work towards.Exactly, and it's also why they have issues getting people back into Fel today.

...LOL
With that said about the scrolls lol .......
.......Not all PvPers talk smack there is the fair share of trammies also. And really if your hurt by some words on a screen then you shouldnt be playin MMO's. You have to understand you have to deal with people of different Ages,Race,Backgrounds, Stress levels, countries exc. exc if you cant understand that then you dont understand UO.
If you dont understand getting your enemy upset then you dont know UO pvp. If your enemy is upset he will more than likely make mistakes and mistakes cascade fast into other mistakes In UO pvp. The best way to beat that is to take everything with a grain of salt it is a game afterall. the best PvPers that I know are cool and collected its just a game to them.
*EDIT*
And soon with the release of Darkfall UO will loose most of their remaining PvP playerbase that hasnt gone to PRS so everything here is a moot point anyway.
Anyone who says to keep the PSs and Harrys in Fel just for the PVP is talking BS. It´s about the scrolls, nothing else...All I seem to hear is that the spawns are about the PvP, not the money...

There is nothing more annoying then loseing your stuff to some punk jerk kid to have him laugh at your ghost its not fear. i rather lose a valuable item to a monster for good then lose any item to some pvper.Anyone who says to keep the PSs and Harrys in Fel just for the PVP is talking BS.

However, I think they should remain there. As a trammel player (when I play Europa) I see this as one of the hardest challenges in the game.
And I honestly can´t see why other trammel players are so afraid to try to do some of those spawns. Just consider the potential PVPers as a tough "boss". Nothing else.
Doing big PvM stuff like Doom, peerless and events and such, we all risk to die. Nothing different about PVPers. All you lose is some gold and some cheap stuff.
Is it the potential smack talk after being killed? Big deal. Just ignore it.
Is it because you don´t like PVP? Well, just approach it as a hard monster with some different AI then used too.
What is the worst thing that can happen when doing a champ in Fel? You die and maybe gets smack talked. So what?
And if that doesn´t happen you get the rewards!
Sure, there are some things that give some of the PVPers some advantages such as ghost cam-bots and other cheating programs but that´s for another thread...
The PvPers need constant ego stroking and reassurance that yesss, precious, you are important to us.All I seem to hear is that the spawns are about the PvP, not the money...

One guild can't make 100-150m a day (almost seriously, depending on what shard). Or it hampers the sell of irl items for cash.All I seem to hear is that the spawns are about the PvP, not the money...

I have actually met a few cool pks in Fel but unfortunately it was just a few.You'd probably get a few more folks into Fel if the PvP culture showed a bit more tact and respect for their fellow player.

Well if the Smack Talking that goes on was fine then how come so often the contents of it you hear covers things specifically mentioned in the ROC? If it's supposed to be a factor, then why is there a rule against it?The thing is though... we DO have players that love to pvp and 'talk smack'. I think it's only fair they too have something to work towards.

Most PvPers say being able to buy Faction arties for peanuts, that you could only previously get in Doom, is great. It is only fair the same happens to PS for PvMers.Oh here we go again! *yay*
I wish they'd open up a Tram only shard and throw all the "we want PS in Tram" posters right in. It's not enough that Fel had her dungeons wrecked to support champs. No, we need to turn the scrolls over to Tram too and then watch while Tram folks farm the snot out of those spawns and the rank of "Legendary" is so insignificant that EA may as well just add skill caps of 120 as standard. You want the items and you don't want to deal with a nasty ebil PvPer to get them. Has someone tied your bank checks down so you can't buy scrolls? Hmm?
You want tram spawns of scrolls? Fine, let's put them on an NPC vendor that lets you upgrade your chars for a decent sum of gold. Not a scroll selling machine, you'd pick the scrolls you wanted and have them applied then and there. Then you can avoid those ebil PvPers that you don't want to contend with, and those same PvPers are free to sell the scrolls they get at cheaper prices so they can still make gold and still have something to fight over.
Tram players farming scrolls with no risk (sorry, paragons are not scary) will drown the market in cheap scrolls and turn Fel champs into disused wrecks. So at best you can have an NPC selling the scrolls. Might even make a good gold sink. But some of us don't want Fel turned over yet again to serve the interests of the "we want!" crowd in Tram.

click your character and start insuring items?There is nothing more annoying then loseing your stuff to some punk jerk kid to have him laugh at your ghost its not fear. i rather lose a valuable item to a monster for good then lose any item to some pvper.

If you want to be a Legendary mage, I think you ought to put in a wee bit more effort to reach the pinnacle of your profession. 2k silver? Pfft. You wouldn't get past the door of the university with that level of commitment. Or lack of. There is a difference between a dumb faction arty and a scroll which enables you to hit 120. Think about it. Item fashions come and go, the faction arties will be superseded, and likely in Tram. Skills can be with a character for his entire lifetime.Most PvPers say being able to buy Faction arties for peanuts, that you could only previously get in Doom, is great. It is only fair the same happens to PS for PvMers.
Lets take a faction Orni as an example. Get a faction one with MR3 extra for 5000 silver. Or buy a Doom one without MR3 for 10 million gold.
How about a faction crimson. The +5 extra dex Faction one costs 2000. The normal one costs 15 million gold.
It is only fair that now PvMers can buy PS off vendors for peanuts. PvMers should be able to get a 120 Magery for 2000 silver. Maybe even less because a mr3 faction crimson is better than an ordinary crimson. Fair is fair.
That just makes no sense whatsoever. btw Thank you for providing an important service to the all 75,000 subscribers in UO by ensuring that the "rank of Legendary" remains significant.If you want to be a Legendary mage, I think you ought to put in a wee bit more effort to reach the pinnacle of your profession. 2k silver?

Actually your argument is severely floored...Most PvPers think the faction arties are stupid and i reckon the majority would ask for them to be removed if they could as points mean nothing!!Most PvPers say being able to buy Faction arties for peanuts, that you could only previously get in Doom, is great.

PvP AI isn't "Artificial Intelligence", it's "Actual Intelligence", or used to be for the most part, anyways.Is it because you don´t like PVP? Well, just approach it as a hard monster with some different AI then used too
I used to sit in the Lich Room of Covetous and kill Liches late at night on my GM LJ Swordsman. One Lich on me, i was alright. Two on me, it was iffy, depending on the combos they pulled off. Three on me, i'd better run out that door like Forrest Gump. You died in Covetous Lich Room, you weren't getting back to your corpse in time to get your stuff before your body decayed (With all your armor/weps/regs/gold/etc on it), not unless you had someone recall outside the Lich Room entrance and rez you. Many a time i had to send out ICQs late at night asking if someone would rez me.I do remember when even PvM was more risky than it is now...much more to lose and alot less to gain!!(apart from the satisfaction of making it!!) Think of doom with no insurance!!!oh the fun that would be!
Then dont...go and get one yourself!!!.
But I do not think I really need to spend 14 to 17 mil on a 120 magery scroll just because a few guilds can control the scroll market.
I understand supply and demand, but I also know that I play this game for fun, and I am not in the habit of having millions of gold, never have and do not think I ever will.
THAT is it exactly for me! And with the rampant cheating, it's only got worse. I don't mind dying so much as having 3 or 4 players stomping my ghost yelling NOOB! And then follow my ghost saying, "Aww, we're sorry. Let me rez you..."You'd probably get a few more folks into Fel if the PvP culture showed a bit more tact and respect for their fellow player.

You couldn't be more incorrect. The people who do fel spawns would continue to do them as they always have. The problem would be the devaluation of the scrolls themselves. Noone is going to convince me that being able to control who is at the spawn competing with your prize is going to be given up to join a bunch of trammies for the small chance at a crappy 110 with no protection scrolls. Ridiculous.If you have scrolls drop in tram, then who would there be to kill? everyone would do in tram where its safe..
.
I agree with the rest of your post, just not this sentence. What would be wrong with a devaluation, meaning making them available to more of the player base? Why should a 120 mage scroll cost 20mil?... The problem would be the devaluation of the scrolls themselves. ...
why should a crimmy be worth 14?I agree with the rest of your post, just not this sentence. What would be wrong with a devaluation, meaning making them available to more of the player base? Why should a 120 mage scroll cost 20mil?
