This has to be Atlantic, right? I mean what other shard has a population that could support the buying and selling of items like you describe? 500m for a single silly item, no matter how rare, is laughable to people on most shards. You speak of things such as this as commonplace among the people you associate with... I can assure you that the vast majority of the (all shards) population considers 500m for a single piece of electron garbage as laughable..... Those of you that are billionaires do not either represent or speak for the majority of us who go about our normal UO lives totally content with a couple of mill in the bank. And we are the vast majority, no matter how vocal the half dozen here - who often wish to represent themselves as one of us. I fully expect we'll hear from them shortly..... How their ears must be burning by now...
You want real UO? Come to Siege like I did... We have the economy that all of UO had a decade or so back... 500m for a single item - lmao. Of course, you'll have a few adjustments to make... You won't be as safe at all times as you are now - but you'll soon find that
the element of the unknown is what you've been missing for years now. And we have a very large population of people who don't go around killing people for fun, contrary to what you might have imagined. Many of them will be happy to assist you in acclimating here and teach you the best ways to avoid our pk population. Or, if you wish, you may become one of them... Either way, you'll love it...
Sorry, I digress from the OP... 500m for a single item is quite simply laughable.
Oh, did I mention that you can keep your house and have one on Siege too now? So, exactly what do you have to lose? Won't increase your monthly contribution to EA one iota... Come and join us and leave this prodo shard insanity to those who wish to stay a part of it... Announce yourself, if you wish, on the Siege forum
here. You'll get all your questions answered.....
Represent....
