Hey UO folks, I don't post here often but I had an idea the other day and figured Id get some feed back. Everyone loves IDOC's and everyone hates IDOC's because of the script looting and the xshard people who are so greedy and have to do all 27 shards... ehem like the one who calls himself idoc#$@, and his new partner that supposedly quit the game and got hacked but lied about it all. Now Mesanna tried to address this but fell short. By making the timer 5-10-15 hours it only helped the people who don't work in the real world and rely on this game for income to get richer. The ones who can't play all the time or stay at the computer everyday for 15 hours are more or less the ones that weren't scripting to begin with so they are the ones who lost. Ok that's the prelude to the discussion.
My idea is to make IDOC's stage the same way. However, once an idoc on a server turns to IDOC stage then the timer stops. All IDOC's on that server will then fall as soon as server comes up that day. So all the east coast shards, all the west coast shards, Japanese, etc would all fall at their respective downtimes. That would root out ALLLL scripting, no one can log in and set up looters or packy scripts etc. Furthermore the people who run 27 shards would not be able to be at all houses at the same time. The general public would have far more of a chance of getting good loot drops on their home servers.
Now before anyone says anything about me, I am a professional idocer butt I'm NOT greedy! I've done idocs for a decade and done the same four shards since I started up until last year. Only greedy people need to script every single idoc on every server and have websites to share with their people and collect a percentage. Last year with all the scripters and bots from that new crew I stated above I no longer could make any pixel gold so Ive started to branch out but its tiresome and my real life job def makes me miss a lottt. I feel this change would better the idoc community and give more people a better chance of winning that random box lottery lol then just the cheaters. Just my two cents, let me know what you all think.
