Thanks to all for the ideas. If there is one thing I like about UO, its the kind community. As far as Seige is concerned, I never played prior to AOS so I guess I don't have an appreciation for the Seige rule set. A previous poster said they were trying to sell their Luna house on Atlantic...but I thought everyone could place a house on Seige and also another shard, correct?
There have been some recent improvements to WoW. They just released a patch which addressed many balance issues and prepared the player base for the Wrath of the Lich King release due in November. I thought it interesting that there were people in WoW crying and threatening to quit because they couldn't or wouldn't adapt to the new rules. Sounded familiar. I really welcome change so no problem here.
As far as banning in WoW, there have been MASS bans since the beginning of the year for those using AFK scipts to gain honor points in battlegrounds (PvP). Blizzard somehow knows people are cheating and takes action, a move I highly respect. There is new content (sometimes fluff) every month in WoW as far as I've seen.
I don't necessarily NEED UO to have more new content, I just want better graphics and more purposeful world(s). I liked a reason to be in Cove, NuJehlom and other places. In general, the legacy dungeons, Malas dungeons, etc. are a little droll to me, just hard monsters in them.
But again, I have a hard time playing a game that doesn't have above average graphics (2d). There is a balance between content and graphics that UO needs to find in order to obtain more public attention. Forget about balance for a while, just provide beautiful worlds to adventure in and people will come. And by adventure, I don't mean just wander aimlessly, drooling at pixel crack. I mean create quests that are similar to the Peerless dungeons. It sounds like SA will offer this.
Oh that tasty carrot on the end of the stick...how I want you.
