Proposal for a Gold Sink: Provide players the opportunity to purchase EM items after the event

Do you think EM items should be available for purchase at the end of the event?

I think that goes without saying for anything. At least more of an opportunity will be there.

Off topic: I'm assuming that robe is from Siege.....and I want it. :D
If you are referring to the robe in my Avatar? Yes. I won it in a PvP Tournament back in early 2000s. It is the Robe of the Champion with +3 in each resist except poison. There is only 1 in all of UO and I sold it when I quit 7 years ago. :(

I think this would be a great idea. Keep the event drops the way they are now then after or even as mentioned have a npc sell them for a period of time as stated maybe one per account or not but have the items sold on the npc have sovenior tag or replica tag on it. Love it! To me this would be a great addition to the game.

Live... Events... Team. And that is all I have to say about that.

Solve the problem the simple way, anyone who goes through the gate to the event gets the item, blessed, put in his backpack immediately as a memento. That will make the item so common that it will be of no value for sale and of no interest to rares collectors. The things would be a dime a dozen as the saying goes. Problem solved.
Well, Taking this to the next level, Everyone gets the item, but the item is really crappy. Like Royal Member of Britania Sash. Everyone got one, didn't give any bonus stats, and didn't affect game play. If someone wants to pay millions for that, so be it.

Why would something meant as a memento have bonus stats to start with? You can get that kind of thing just going out hunting on a typical day if you hunt where Bad Things play.

Well, I was under the impression that EM items had mods to them, making them a super powerful addition to the game.

If people are spending 1b gold for something like a sash or a robe highlighting that event, so be it. I think they are stupid, but I'm sure people do it for a reason.

Where I have a problem is if the EM gives away 10 robes that all have MR2, luck 200 or something on it, and that's it. Then that robe can be used by someone that is better than any other robe in the game, and only 5 of them exist.

We will always have rare collectors, and they deserve to pay what ever they want to for rare items. But looking at things that are rare, Rangers Armour, two story statue, Pheonix Armour, Bone Armour. No one would ever wear it or use it to better their game, therefor I personally am OK with it.

in real life, we have rare sports cards, coins, and furniture that people pay thousands, millions and so on for, but we are not limiting those people from doing what they love. Why on earth would we do it in this game.

I go by the name of Oblivion. I believe you have heard of me. :D

Well then, Oblivion / ohmyGED is back... If you can't beat 'em - troll 'em I guess???? Is that now your philosophy, guy?


From a Thread titled "Fun time in UO", in which people detailed what they were currently doing for fun:

1. Stealing from everyone I can
2. Making a large profit from my plunders
3. Buying high end rares incognito from other 'reputable' collectors

That would be post#18 in the following link

I believe the only troll in this thread right now is you, sir. I have been granted permission to use these forums again under specific conditions. Unfortunately, some people got a little too upset with my template and ways of obtaining goods, hence why I was removed previously. You seem like one of them.... ;)

However, if you are not going to add any value to the topic stated at the start of this thread, please refrain from posting in it. Thank you.
