Would be very interesting how many of them would continue their behavior in game when faced with somehow more fitting punishments for their actions.
I would.Because that`s what I LOVE to do.Not doing it because it`s easy and in the end you chop the head off their corpse and say "OLOL PWNT L2P".
Does it sound so strange?
p.s.
well...
say whatever you want, but in the end it all comes down to two basic things..they are most basic and therefore True:
1)R.Garriot used great ideas to create his game, and those ideas were there before he ever created his first game, I believe.I guess it all began when naked hairy people bashed each other with clubs several thousand years ago (well, I was actually reffering to all the MMOS and pen and paper games that were there before UO).
So, Garriot knew, how to create a live, believable game world where players could do ANYTHING.They could freakin` LIVE there, do whatever they wanted.That`s the ideal MMO.All other MMOS are nerfed and castrated versions of UO, therefore are good only for people who
are too busy and tired to use their imagination and their competitive spirit.Like those 40 year old moms who play UO nowadays and show off their neon hats at WBB, because they can`t possibly imagine, that there is more about this game than the few things they do every day.
So, those people actually insult the spirit of Ultima Online.They shouldn`t be here, but they are.All those people who can`t be bothered to use their imagination and breathe life into those pixels, making it a REAL adventure, using ALL the possibilities this game used to grant you.
Most of those people don`t really think of UO as a fantasy game.To them it`s a chat room where they can dress and move their avatar, and go kill monsters for more neon crap.
I repeat, it`s kind of insulting for a real Role Player to interact with all those people.
It`s like..I dunno, inviting a fat f***er who laughs all the time and mocks the game to a DnD game.Ya know what most DnD players do when they gather in the basement?
Sure as hell they don`t run around in blazing neon robes screaming "pwnt".
UO
WAS the kind of game that actually was much like those DnD n` stuff games.
UO was great.With infinite possibilities.
What`s funny, I sometimes read trammies posting something like "UO is a game with infinite possibilites".Same people whom I see "lol"-ing in game and wearing neon colors and feeding apples to their neon-pink cusidhe.Most curious.
2.UO should have remained the same as it was in the beginning.Under the care of smart developers, who would REALLY know and appreciate the spirit of the game Garriot created, this game could have become something even bigger (if that`s possible).
Truth is, things really went wrong.It`s not just "oops we f***ed up a few things", the whole concept of the game was ruined.
And I`m sure, there would be alot more players if the game had retained it`s original concept.
Oh, you don`t believe that?Well, there are a lot of free shards out there...with so many people playing on these shards.
And there are other MMO games, that allow griefing and uncontrolled rampaging killing.But NO ONE EVER complains.
p.p.s.
"DM, pls rez and remove spawn".
..?Am I doing it right?
p.p.p.s.
