When has it ever been anything else? :bdrink:Tough crowd, Nexus. :bdrink:
Knowing UO, we will either get some scrap paper, or a chalkboard :loser:Rumor is the "New Stratics" and UO aren't getting along all that great. Maybe UO will open their own forums on UO.com again?
I made the same point - an invitation to meaningless blather. What was the answer again, @Nexus, that you can only earn so many trinkets per day by posting nonsense - or something like that?Well I guess I'll be posting random replies just for the sake of it then. Expect every thread to fill up real fast. What a ridiculous idea.
Yep there is a limit per day, you won't be able to continuously gain trinkets for every post.I made the same point - an invitation to meaningless blather. What was the answer again, @Nexus, that you can only earn so many trinkets per day by posting nonsense - or something like that?
I doubt Broadsword cares about this issue, so there must be other things going on we don't know about. Stuff like this makes you wonder... https://stratics.com/community/threads/legends-will-no-longer-be-using-stratics.335158/#post-2516635Knowing UO, we will either get some scrap paper, or a chalkboard :loser:
Alert...i stand up to pee thank you very much!
Regardless of how I feel about changes, I don't want to see lack of support resulting in Stratics "being axed" because of failure to turn a profit.Taylor love him or hate him, you all should realize without his intervention there would be no Stratics right now, the company that owned the site at the time he took it over was planning to close Stratics due to it being unprofitable. I think were given a 6 months notice to make it turn a profit or it was being axed.
lolWill us mildly detested old trolls get special trinkets for being true to our nature?
Well in the world of particle physics there is a theory that says for every positive or negatively charged particle there is it's exact opposite. They appear identical in every way except their charge. Applying this concept to our site I can say yes, You'll be rewarded with an Anti-Trinket (which we're thinking of renaming "Cogs"). Now an issue arises when dealing with particles and their polar opposites, they attract each other due to their opposite charge, thankfully in the large expanse of the universe these particles rarely if ever meet allowing matter to exist as the consequence of this union between the two particles. always, results in the destruction of both particles. Now when we shove that anti-trinket into the confined space of your balance ledger, it will swiftly attract it's polar opposite and unfortunately your balance will decrease by one due to the destructive nature of their meeting.Will us mildly detested old trolls get special trinkets for being true to our nature?
Or, it could be that UO isn't holding up to IT'S end of the bargain. Just a thought.I already pointed that out, and yes it sure does make you wonder why there is a separation between stratics and UO. It's sad because Stratics was supposed to be the OFFICIAL FORUM for all that is UO and now the new ownership is making changes that will jeopardize that relationship.
some of us have to use bigpic.comI don't understand the sky is falling rhetoric..you don't have to pay anything...you literally will never ever ever need to buy trinkets, as you can earn them, and from what I read the only reason you'll ever need them is post an image using Stratics server..bandwidth costs $..I don't see the issue here? Use *********** Ya shlubs!

God there's like three dozen people who actually post here on a regular basis. Someone could throw up a free forum overnight and as long as the four devs we have left posted there once in a while, practically nothing would change. Everyone uses uoguide when they want actual info anyway.I'm not exactly thrilled with "trinkets" and other changes, either; however I think continuing to support Stratics as UO's home, so to speak, is still important. Especially in light of what Nexus pointed out in an earlier Q&A post:

Back in the day it would just be a case of deleting a few posts, locking the thread, and banning a couple of people eh Kelmo.Tough crowd, Nexus. :bdrink:
This... always bears repeating...Tough crowd, Nexus. :bdrink:
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA and HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Makes you wonder if there would be more people here if that heavy hand wasn't so heavy.Back in the day it would just be a case of deleting a few posts, locking the thread, and banning a couple of people eh Kelmo.
I think you'll find now Stratics is a place where we can actually discuss things. Openly and fairly.
Last I talked to her she was enjoying being able to play UO again without worrying about what needed to be done on Stratics. To be quite honest, if you're dedicated to the site, it's not difficult for it to take over your gaming life and she dedicated herself to it for a long time. From what I gather, she's enjoying her Stratics-retirement, and I'm glad she's happy.HAHAHAHAHAHAHA and HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Makes you wonder if there would be more people here if that heavy hand wasn't so heavy.
Sadly I sometimes wonder what happened to Petra, without the mod role she just left.
That's not quite fair, The former staff were operating under a different owner, with a different view on how things were to be handled. You can say you dislike how things were handled in the past, but don't put all the blame on entirely on former staff, they were operating under the guidelines for how to handle the RoC they were given. Compared to what you see in forums hosted by development Studios, what we've allowed on Stratics for then and now, is rather loose, if the new owner decided he wanted to loosen things a bit more, than what we've done in the past, well that was his prerogative.Back in the day it would just be a case of deleting a few posts, locking the thread, and banning a couple of people eh Kelmo.

Interesting that you started your reply mentioning fairness. Whilst I concede that there may have been different constraints or rules in place back then, the foundation of every forum remains the same. To moderate evenly and fairly. In this area many of the old Mods failed in their duty. Bias and favouritism were rife. Not to mention that for some of them it was more about them and their egos than anything else. Anyhow. We digress.That's not quite fair, The former staff were operating under a different owner, with a different view on how things were to be handled.

The first couple weeks you get bags full of trinkets. A few weeks later you only get a trinket every now and then and no one admits to it being handled any different.the Uhall quest grants you a bag of trinkets
What a very strange accusation.@Petra Fyde bringing this to your attention to make sure stratics doesn't attempt to steal your hard work..
Certainly isn't the first one in this thread.What a very strange accusation.
I'm telling ya, sometimes it's hard to tell the difference between Stratics and TMZ sometimes.Certainly isn't the first one in this thread.
What, copy paste?What a very strange accusation.
That would be the end of Straticsconfining myself to facts and keeping my opinions to myself.
Funny how some of the "old" staff saw problems where none existed prior to their hiring...even under the same ownership...laYou can say you dislike how things were handled in the past, but don't put all the blame on entirely on former staff, they were operating under the guidelines for how to handle the RoC they were given.
Save yourself a lot of headaches. Look at Wordpress...it's so easy to work with and the options of plugins available are par none...laI'm still around, though I post rarely, confining myself to facts and keeping my opinions to myself. The site I'm building in a little corner granted to me by the ODE guild is linked on my profile and I post on my facebook when I upload a new page. It's not done in wordpress or drupal or any other fancy CMS, I'm using basic html and exploring a little css. I'm particularly happy with the css I used for my maps pages, though of course they can't compare to the google maps that posters kindly funded for the Stratics site.
I'm not having a lot of headaches, I'm having a lot of fun experimenting with the css. I don't have to worry about whether a plug in I choose to use will be updated either.Save yourself a lot of headaches.
