A 14 hr a day, 7 day a week total addict thoughts:-
I loved Maginca, there was reason and cause, and reward.
Loved Moonglow for the first 2 weeks, now the city is deserted, with hordes of kinda low end mobs that gank and kill v quickly, and for the chance of a useless sword/shield, or a thread drop...the risk far outweighs the reward. There is no apparent reason behind us continually trying to fight solo in Glow, and noone else seems bothered, so why should we bother.
Cove- Was great fun for the first 3 days, then everyone sussed it was midnight UO time, and then every 2 hrs 5 tamers appeared, killed the Vanguard before pallys even got to the spawn, and before the Vanguard had even summoned his minions.
Then, brilliant, other cities got added, and there was plenty of spawn for everyone. But, alas, boredom set in, and now we have 4 or 5 cities overrun by nasties, both Tram and Fel side, with not enough folk during the day to make a dent.
When I do get a Vanguard 'Red Lined' He vanishes, goes back to his start point and summons like 300 nasties to his side, I go, I whack them, I get him down to red line, he vanishes...repeat until dead , repeat.......
Add this to the total lack of healer in Nujelm......which makes dying a terrible waste of money and time (Yes, there was one in the inn for about 2 hrs, then he got scared and legged it)
Now, there seems no reason why we fight, we keep killing Vanguard and his summons every 2 hrs, with no respite, no chink of light to say we are progressing, and now lets say for a ballpark figure, 12 cities both rulesets overun, and with about 4 day time players, no hope for the lower end player whatsoever.
Ok, Vanguards are bad, so are Shad/Lords, ok ok, enough already, why are they here, what are they achieving, what are we saving, why are we fighting every hour?? History, great, but WHAT history, what are we achieving??
So, yes, enough already, lets have a reason, a aim point, a why and where, and a city to fight for, a world to protect and defend, not just 2 hrs , tick tock, 5 mins in 2 cities, sod it we will leave the other towns cos its too hard and pointless. Glow?? oh is that still going on?? Why?? Cos Shadlords still spawning....wow, are they taking a bit of the shard with them, are they ruining our way of life- NO, well why arent they.....
Once everyone has got their 50 swords, shields, and 5 Dread ponies, died 50 times with no hope of a ress in some cities, and filled their house with crap, why should they bother, they aint saving anything,
Or are they??
