"Those who are loyal to the Bane Chosen can visit Trammel Magincia and seek out Miegen for a quest."

Not an issue for me, but what if your character happens to be red .....

Then you experience one of the negative repercussions of being a murderer?

Because murderers are too evil to be followers of the nice, lovable and cuddly Bane?

That's probably one of the worst reasons ever to exclude 'evil' characters from something.....

The characters are trapped where they were meant to be trapped. It's the way it has been in UO. I mean, by your argument, one could technically argue that reds should be allowed in Trammel because the evil foes EMs create typically appear there, right? It's a game mechanic and if you kill players you suffer the consequences.

.."OK guys, great work on that publish. Let's take the servers down and publish them at 5pm."

"..uhh boss... why don't we publish earlier, that way it's done by 5PM so that people can play when they get home from work?"

**WARNING!!! COMMON SENSE DETECTED on floor 3! All personnel must evacuate! EMERGENCY PURGE! REPEAT: EMERGENCY PURGE!!!**

In their defense there seem to be some issues which have plagued Origin so would you rather have them release it after dealing with these issues or release it in your "common sense" window.

Due to the popularity of UO Mondains Legacy, this Server is full. Please try another shard.

If the Bane want followers, surely they would take them wherver they can get them - and the biggest pool of potential recruits is in Fel. Ignoring that makes little sense, either in game logic or in the real-life terms of involving customers in what is happening in the game. Reds already can't go to the huge majority of the UO landmass, dropping them out of the ongoing storyline as well is just taking the 'exclusion' idea too far.

And they don't kill player... they kill characters....
