Soulstones and soul stone fragments never should have been born and landed here either, they negate the original intent of Siege of *needing others'/ template skills*, but they have and once ya open up that can of worms, any can of worms, and it is grabbed up and used by nearly everyone and thus ends up too popular, it won't be going back into the womb. . ever.

I strongly disagree. Soulstones are necessary on Siege. It's completely asinine to expect everyone to buy 6 accounts just to experiment with or use more than one template...

Oh I do fathom the need and usefulness of the soulstones and soul stone frags. I am just saying the original intent and purpose of Siege Perilous back in 99 has been so compromised over the time, of maturing modernisation of all of UO that Siege has become in many ways no longer what it was intended to be.. and the dev. team changes created the compromised and long now lost, original intent of Siege Perilous, compromised and lost it all, a very long time ago.
As I said once a baby is born it is then too late to stuff it all back into the womb.. AOS %%%%% pwr scrolls, fragments and soul stones, and more changed the intent *original intent* of what this shard was about..which yes was only ONE template one chr. per acct. not an entire army of ourselves, possibly needing no other players skills, owning if we wish with soulstones, every template ON one chr. per one acct. like we can be ..now with sstones. The *hard shard vet shard of Siege 99 intent* is long gone...no longer 'as difficult' on that ONE template, which originally is what they only permitted here once..for all.*per acct.*
We all like them feel we need them etc. and since they put em in there most use them buy more and use those too, progress oft is tearing down a prime forest original UO.. for a twinkiefied artified itemised sstoned up..crap parking lot !
We still pay em but the 1999 intent of Siege been LONG GONE, compromised to the max to some degrees. Ya can not shove it all back into the dev. team womb now its too grown and spread all over.
