Ta_Mira - Not that you would know... if you didn’t play Atlantic... someone actually did our WBB a very-very WISE turn, but in the aftermath of the invasions... activity remains, but a shadow of it's former self. This includes a stable area... PLUS a public moongate, along with an arcane circle. I’ve visited just about every other shard in UO, every WWB... and some have nicer décor... some have nothing at all. If this was more uniformed, it would fix a lot of the problems people complain about when we discuss Lagtown vs. WBB. PLUS, just like with this year’s giant turkey spawn and the law-breakers leading them out of spawn zones to share the murderous super-monsters with innocent victims, turning off the guard call is a death sentence to every possible step in the right direction. Moonglow has been having the same issues since that mirror world event. DON’T TURN OFF GUARD CALL! Dhoi!
Invade other cities? Whatever, I say. It's just like we were talking about before about blocking runes. If you pick your bank as one less traveled, you are far less likely to have constant trouble, rather then the countless bank-sitters of Lagtown. If you play a less populated shard? Check out Atlantic any day between 3-8pm.
For the record... Skara Brea has always been my preferred bank of choice, like MalagAste. This also brings me to another big problem with all the non-Asian shards... the Asian staff has rubbish bins at all banks. We barely have any public bins. 5 in total for Atlantic? For 20 banks? Another reason people stay away from bin-less banks, I’d say.
