Mesanna: we moved this spammer to that channel on purpose
Mesanna: he was in general
Mesanna: since he uses a trial account we moved him to help channel

EM Asiantam: no one in General chat in Japan

Mesanna: he needs to just leave help and join General

EM Asiantam: don't you think this is odd that they are selling Real Money in Help Channel?

Mesanna: this is not a topic I am going to discuss in game

Rather than rail about my full thoughts on this, I'll instead offer my personal experience.

I was away from UO for many years. I came back and could barely remember how to move, let alone how to change channels. I gritted my teeth every time I saw one of those spammers, and wondered why it was allowed and why no one else was talking. I wasn't even sure if the site he referenced was an officially endorsed thing or not... given that it was spammed in the chat channel my brand new character was dumped in and I was pretty clueless at the time, I couldn't tell.

I also saw trails of books all over Luna and (at the time) Britain. Those were a little more obvious, but still inexplicably right in your face for something that last I remembered was against the rules.

That's what new/returning players see when they come back to UO. No one helping them, no players talking on most shards, just BUY MY GOLD HERE spambots.

It left a bad impression. A REALLY bad impression, like "what the hell happened to UO" sort of impression.

And it still does.
