I would love to move myself full time to siege, However the lack of game mechanics, and the unbalanced of the shard is very unattractive.
I am going to return to siege for a few months just to see how it fairs with the production shards,
Keep a copy of the post you made here and read it when you are a few months old on Siege and you will see how wrong you are.
And to solve your tamer problem, Just make pets unable to bond to their master...
This is not the way to solve the problem.
Alot PvM'ers on Siege use pets to kill the spawn, they will never ask their pet to attack someone but their pets may protect them a little if attacked of PK's.
To balance a few PvP'ers using pets, you will ruin the game for all the PvM'ers.
The solusion could be to limit pets damage to players unless the player directe attack the pet to grief the player.
here are the pros if siege implemented insurance,
Forget it, for most of us, that would ruin the shard and make us quit.
The crafters and PvM'ers will get harder selling their wares.
The game will ge to safe and boring.
And it would go against one of the main rules for the shard.
1. The game can be played how its meant to be,
(imbuing, 180 stam archers, diverse temps)
I start to believe you are trolling or you have no idea of how the game is meant to be played. We have alot of templates on Siege, only the faction items mess it up.
2, More people. I 100% promise if siege implemented a insurance policy i would bring my guild of 12 people over that day and begin playing the server full time.
Why would I care, it would not make any diff to me if they added Item insurance or the rest of the trammy code, I would be gone, the day Siege get item insurance is the day I quit the game for good.
3, No illegal event items, Siege has never been involved much in the duping scene and a lot of these uber event items would be limited due to the fact no broker can xfer them to the server.
Siege do not have this items, item insurance would not make any diff here.
4, More pvp zones, Not only would Luna look like down town Baghdad, But the new Abyss would be a hot spot for pvp, imagine 100 new people on your server farming imbuing items and reds going down there trying to raid the abyss.
New people would be nice but Item Insurence is not the way to go and this new people would not stay. Reason: one char slot, can't find the shard on the list if they are "Young", They here alot bad rumers about RoT and last it would be no diff from the trammy shards.
This would be every pvpers dream to have a siege server, and its so simple. Allow insurance so everyone can play its a item based game. its time for siege to adapt or close down.
No they do dream about a classic shard and not about item insurance. Item based is not a problem as long the crafters can craft this items to a fair price or the farmers know where to farm the artifacts.
To much random drop is a problem. Insurance fixed the problem for crafting but like runic was to much randum, so are the arti drop. Fix the spawn, so it works like with the resources for imbuing, you know where to get the upper resources. The drop could need an increase on Siege to make items easier to replace.
With runic, you have no control over what you get, same with arti drop, if a crafter/PvM'er do have a customer who want a suit including let say shadow danser legs and the bandana, he may get alot af other artifacts before he success filling the order.
If he knew a known monster would drop them, it would make it easier without ruin the spirit of Siege.
This server was meant to be a PVP, allow insurance and turn this server into the best one in uo, hardcore pvp
Nope it's meant to be an advanced server, where you need to know the game to play and making friends and working together will be a great help.
PvP is just the spice to what the shard else can offer.
