I agree... all UO visions can come as one.
I am the only one who is left with the UO "tone" ; obviously because you can all feel the emotion culminating, I won't be speaking in riddles.
Stat loss was never meant to be implemented... it is a very simpleton system that was put into place to offset the "seriousness" of UO and how it became political. I mean really... stat loss ; applied by whom ? God ? We have here an element of religion symbolised in a sandbox where all human minds are innocent until proven guilty ; it takes the power away from the individual. I saw it happen very clearly ; to make it OK to accept real money for UO is each time poisoning a bit the community, without judging here those that at least have the honesty to admit doing so. It's suppose to be a living world, not a game !
Let us speak then about death ; I'm sure everyone will understand this...
Even the best of trammies, they must be able to die or it means absolutely nothing to have accomplished structure, friendship and unconditional love ; and this ties in with the question that left everyone's blood silent and glacial since the day... oh but Avatar... you don't have to die either ! You can res. You did lose cool artifacts (yes server birth too) but... BUT you are still alive until you find the next lesson. But are you yourself ? Will you accept and play another role ? That might be because you consider that it was a fair death... where does your ego stop ?
What is roleplay ?
Being ?
Tell me aha Avatar, for without the medicine I wilth'n'die.
This whole thing is just a distraction... if any trammie is within a community of people that care, you'd be surprised HOW ORGANISED and GENUISFULLY EVIL would a murderer have to be to actually realise the feat of killing and looting them in todays pretty much lag free *AHEM* environement. Especially is the very logical idea of player towns and guards in there. When the deed it is done it will mean SOMETHING for HISTORY... and progeny, for what is a civilisation without remaining witness, common sense ? Who would even have a bit of creativity without caring about the darker side of human species ; why would people HATE so much those who had fun doing it. Those that didn't do it fairly are left with a sour taste in their mouths... so what. they might not do it this time because of the magnitudinal community, at least without playing a role that is and also DYING for GOOD. *key words are highlighted*
When my Brainbug died, he died for good, I killed over 3000 players who gave pvp a shot at me over a summer-fall, not miners, it was in dungeons. I repeat that I have not profited one dime off my bounty that I was at liberty of claiming grace to my friend Nick-of-Time who amongst a throng of at least 50 very angry players ; in a sea of pet caused lag *I know, it sounds crispy* managed... and I highly suspect him of having chugged red pots all the way in at JUST the right timing... EPIC ! To grab my head, yes, my decapitated head, which was worth a good stack of real hard cash. HE was so much of a friend that he handed it to me, this time in an abysmal sea of the most timewarping UO ever experienced, which even included forward in time jump backs. And well... I have never seen him since ; lots of people knew him.
I left UO without any remorse, as a companion, and I return as a companion. Now the situation is so enflamed, that we don't hear anymore about anything remotely close to what UO lore is supposed to be. I am immortal in that sense and also your best friend.
Please forgive my insistant tone but, WHEN DOES IT START ?
I have devised many fair ways of preventing and catalysing the need for macroing in UO without turning it into a game with evil in its center, evil is a parody to learn good ethics ; if you never live to the life of the avatar you'd mean nothing. You'd be empty. There'd be no music !
AND THIS IS WHERE I'M COMING IN HEAVIER !!! AAHRRRGGGHHHH CAPS LOCK !!!
SAMPLES OF MUSIC SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO BE UPDATED IN THE GAME AFTER COMMUNITY APROVAL IN POLLS SO PEOPLE CAN SOUND HOW THEY WANT FOR CHRISTS SAKES !
THAT IS CLASSIC !!!!! *refer to my post about bard music on the guitar* Do you realise this guy could have his own little guitar loop ?
Do you realise how heavy the conversation is so that noone even comes up with ideas like this ?
This is my last dream that I would like to see come true.
Thank you for the hope alone suffices me.
I feel alive.
