Hello friends.
I closed two of my UO accounts today. Im not quitting the game entirely, but I am dissatisfied with enough things that have been going on to decide that Im not going to give EA as much of my money as I used to. Actually some of these issues go back a bit, but I pay 6mos at a time on my accounts, so the closures kick in now.
I hope that the folks at EA take notice of the posts where players are leaving the game. Particularly those that are quitting completely after playing for many years. I still love the game and it will take a couple more hard kicks in the groin from EA before I'd drop more accounts... but in this world the only thing that companies seem to hear is the sound of coins jingling in the cash register. Only when that sound diminishes do they stop to see what the problem is.
I enjoy making new characters and each one gets their own personal history and attributes. Even closing an account with "minor" characters is something that hurts me as they all have their place in the rich tapestry of Sosaria. I hope that when the folks at EA see that an account has closed, they take a moment to really think about the investment that we put into our characters. It's not just the time it takes to build skills, or an investment of gold... for those of us that role play it's almost as if someone just disappears forever.
I've had lots of fun on this forum co-writing stories where many of us get together to role-play. Firmus the Cruel was one of the characters I invented for these stories. In the last story, he was trapped in the form of a parrot... that was in preparation for the cancellation of the account that holds him.
