Dont think it would elimate any duping at all..it would just make it easier to transfer duped items to other shards and awhole lot faster I think if there was moongates to other shards. Plus like already mentioned why would they offer a service for free when they are making money on it with the transfer tokens.Just for the reason that it is necessary for the game to go on...
Isn't that a good reason ?
Its my conviction anyway !
(AND, it might eliminate some duping as well as, by reading these boards, it seems that char transf favours duping??? and, all of you, UOhaller hate duping, don't you?)

The servers (the big ones holding all the data for one "shard" I assume this is how it works) have to exchange data very seldomly when someone x-shards.. This is probably completely unnoticeable via lag by ANYONE.. However, when people start walking through "server" moongates every 5 seconds, I can imagine LOTS of blackholing, duping, and overall LAG FEST as these massive servers designed for client-to-server communication start passing huge packets of data back and forth for every character that transfer to a new server... skills, bankbox, backpack, valifying contents, etc etc...becouse noone pays UO the 20$ everyone buys the tokens for 12$ from an outside source. In the end though i think it would be a bad thing its hard anofe to build a community on a shard much less if ppl can jump ship at a whim
When are we finally be able to travel from shard to shard through moongates?
Would make the game much more interesting imo.
Oh and including japanese shards OF COURSE !
Oh hopefully never! An absolutely BAD idea.When are we finally be able to travel from shard to shard through moongates?

I would too.I like your ideas RoseBlue, unlike the rest of the majority here.
I would love to travel to other shards via moongate.
How is it necessary? It isn't necessary to transfer to make the game playable under any circumstances. The only people who make use of the service tend to be elite pvpers who like shard hopping, brokers and merchants. Basically a small majority compared to the rest of the playerbase who use transfering far less frequently.Just for the reason that it is necessary for the game to go on...

While it would be fun and opens up many possibilities, it is unlikely to happen.When are we finally be able to travel from shard to shard through moongates?

Now THIS is a good idea!!!It would be cool if there was some kind of PVP arena. An Europe, East coast and a West Coast one. If you made it no looting and no trading, bandaids, arrows, and regs cost 10x as much and had a entry fee to the area it could be a gold sink too. Items and gold paid for ranking.
What, no Australasian arena?It would be cool if there was some kind of PVP arena. An Europe, East coast and a West Coast one.

ummm or all of those people from chessy arriving on siege to find themselves robbed blind in seconds.That ability could be comically tragic for some. Sight for example some newer players...they see all the gates to all shards and pop thru em exploring all the shards and so they pop thru the Moonglow Trammel moongate on their shard to find they have entered SIEGE PERILOUS. OoOO Um no !! This would not work unless they left Siege off that moongate popping...although it could be comically fun to have an entire GANK SQUAD from say Chesapeake or some other shard all land enmasse on Siege to pk every pk there etc.
Ahem ...........I think we can *visit* any shard we wish just make chrs. there...but hopping moongates on existing chrs. to travel shard to shard could bring in MOBS to any shard....plus with the fel tram rulesets...they would have to DO SOMETHING to prevent say any pack of pks from ...coming from x shard to say trammel of y shard and just makin tons of lag or just arriving to go around swiftly slaying everyone.
Could be um comically interesting though.

Been there done that. We had an invasion of sorts from Chessy a few years back. They had just finished one of their first champ spawns, and headed to the bank in Skara (surprise, guess who was there doing some banking?). Moments later, I had 3 120's in my pack running around being chased by the group. Good fun. That group stayed longer than most...laummm or all of those people from chessy arriving on siege to find themselves robbed blind in seconds.
This idea is really stupid
