I'm for it. If it doesn't bring players to the shard, at least its a lifeboat off for anyone that wants it.
I have no objections to a transfer OFF either. If esp. they do not plan to do much to help the population grow here and it continues to dwindle. Xfers OFF Siege, should even be a transfer off for FREE, ie a version of customer assistance assisting us, for all the yrs. of no assistance for Siege shard and it's customers. It is the least they could do for us, and they should do it for free, for ignoring Siege's needs, to it's death.
Items like claimed vet rewards, 12 yr. house teleporter tiles are a prime example, soulstones of built up skills etc. on chr or chrs. here per acct. could be used on that same acct. on another shard, IF they let us tranfer them elsewhere, off of Siege.
I have only 2 of 4 High Seas booster accts. I can not make everything and do everything in HS THERE, if my skills for these features, are on chrs. HERE.
I been a part of the community of Chesapeake since 98, right before the Lost Lands were created, yet I came HERE in 2004 and been here, way more than over there.
I belong and have belonged to a large alliance there, going back yrs of UO time, I feel more like a *misfit* there than I figured.
I do appreciate seeing a lot more people 'over there' [per day], than running into sometimes no one online here per day, when I am on.
That said, I cringe to go thru LUNA there seeing price$ of everything, seeing folks shout 'POF 17mill' in chat and that is some NORM. The economys are so borked on some other shards, it is not even funny.
I would feel like some in game 'crimminal', to over charge/over price, 12 zillion gp for simple whatevers, thus I can not price stuff like THEY so easily can and do, do $$$$$$$$$ !
I have no clue how true new players not worth zillions of gp., even survive on other shards, with them starting out so broke.
Not sure transferring OFF would really do someone like me much good in reality, other than maybe transferring skills back, or parrot birdies or vet rewards.
'SELLIN CANNONS, heavy pwd charges zillion gp,..sellin small wooden tables 5k per ahem, yeh !!'
AND I WAS STILL [THE ONLY ONE UNINSURED by choice] when them pks come a callin at an event last night full of people in felucca.
I was amused by the myriads of 'animated weps.' flyin into a lg twr. top floor even, attackin folks last night on Ches. I still do not/can not believe in being blessed and insured to the nines when fel side, seems so anti UO to me.
Once..Siege gets in our blood, perhaps we are just doomed to DIE HERE, on our dying shard, [all alone by ourselves] !
When ya find yourself going over there for several hours, then coming back here intentionally LOOKING for Saint Dismas even going into his home here, hopin he is online when you are, just so he can kill ya.....maybe you are DOOMED, to remain here all alone
