Actually, I think I've said it more often than that.
I've just usually done it in response to other threads.
I continue to repeat myself because, sadly, on the Internet endless repetition is necessary. Why not similarly whine about the same people who keep saying they are leaving and that everything sucks? Because you are likely one of them, and you'd be whining about yourself, perhaps?
And also because I find it a remarkable. I keep logging in, expecting to find LS as empty as it should be, judging by the boards. And what do I see? People.
Less than, say, 7 years ago? More than, say, 1 year ago. More than 6 months ago.
Even more remarkable is how often people claim that the end of UO is in sight.
I've also stated repeatedly that the first prediction of UO's imminent death that I can personally locate dates to about one month after its launch.
UO may one day die. Hell, let's assume for argument's sake that it WILL, definitely.
When it does, people like you will say, "Yep, you see, I was right." And you'll forget that you were saying the same thing for 10+ years, and were wrong for 10+ years.
One of these days you'll be right by the luck of the draw I suppose. You'll relish it as though it were an honest prediction when in fact you were throwing feces against the wall until some of it stuck.
Oh well. When this happens I'll find another game to play.

You seem pretty desperate to make this point. This is, after all, the third time you've posted the exact same thread on this forum within a couple of months:<ul>[*]

#2[/list]You can continue posting it until the cows come home; it doesn't make it any truer. If anything, the number of IDOCs I've been noticing has been increasing, rarely with any houses going up in the old places.
Frankly, I don't really think it is disputable that shards are emptier now than they've ever been. Most people who have been playing awhile will agree with this.
See you again next month, when you recycle the exact same thread I guess. Full marks for your persistence in trying to pretend there's not a problem though by snubbing people leaving due to displeasure of the state of the game.
