I agree with you
I dont see why it'd be a problem for RTB accounts to recieve gifts.
And the original post didnt seem a whine to me, he is just saying he doesn't like the "new way of doing this"

I don't think, actually, that there was a deliberate decision not to allow these gifts, I think it's a side effect of classing them as 'trial accounts', which I am guessing was the simplest, least labour intensive, and surest way of solving the problem of house placing.
If anyone really wants these items I will happily gift them on any shard I have a character on.

Most of my time i spend on stratics i now read complains about the Dev's and Mythic and EA and how pissed most of the people are now or since years..
Why do you still play their games if all you have is complains about how this and that sucks, or all sucks?
And btw, there is a huge difference HOW you criticise anything or anyone and beeing treated back..if you know what i mean

P.S.
Pls dont come up with "be glad i still pay all of my gazillion accounts or this game would be dead yet, and i have the right to use crtics to EVERYTHING i want because i am a paying customer" cause this is so 90's and is no real contra-argument
*Bam*

Why do you care so much for a community (swapping gifts) if you do not play the game? Besides, you dont think us paying folks swap gifts too? Just RTB can do it? The house fixing was the most important part of this and I agree its about time it was fixed.
Hey I remember you...
Give it some thought.. maybe you'll reconsider.. there's still some of us around from the old days.

If the gifts are the make or break point for anyone decided to re-subscribe or not then I have 4 sets of gifts I will gladly give to you on Atlantic.
Gifts should not make or break someones enjoyment to the point they are all right with leaving or not returning. I would think that there are deeper reasons than that... or I would hope.
Nonetheless, to the OP, good luck on whatever your future holds, game wise. There are a lot of fun, exciting games out at the moment (many which are free!) which I have no doubt will hold your interest.

Knock it off with that BS HD. Believe it or not there are actually people who like UO and will disagree with you on many issues, difference in opinion is part of human nature. Flinging wild accusations like that only show your incapability to debate your position.As the number of posters that are paid by EA posting regularly on these forums becomes a larger and larger majority you get more and more OTT flaming of anyone that ciriticises EA.
But yes, good luck to the OP and thanks for the clarification. Everyone will someday move on from UO, hope your next stop will be just as good as UO was when you first started.

EA cares nothing about your criticisms. The only people that are affected by the negativity on this board are the people who actually work on this game that do care about it and who I truly believe work hard at trying to make the players happy.
If you want to get at EA, your only option is to let your money do the talking and leave the game. If you want to give input to improve the game, then I suggest being polite, because you are not speaking to the enemy.

You do that... I will sell foil hats. We will both win.
That was the funniest thing I've seen on this board in a while..As the number of posters that are paid by EA posting regularly on these forums becomes a larger and larger majority you get more and more OTT flaming of anyone that ciriticises EA.
Seeing as how a lot of people here have several accounts they pay EA to have..
And a lot of us even help support this fansite..

Sometimes the "easy way" isn't always the best way.
I understand how it came to be, it just should have had more thought put into it.
Heck, if it were me there would have been something special in the bags of the people taking advantage of the RTB. (Lordy what chaos that would've caused. You want to see crybabies let's give out something special to the RTB people.) Perhaps two different bags for active accounts vs RTB accounts. Something cool. But that's just me.
You can't blame a guy for feeling disappointed though. He hears everyone in game talking about gifts he didn't get.
There had to have been a way in the code to make RTB houses decay after 30 days if not renewed, or something similar instead of limiting gameplay.
I mean I do get the other side, people don't want someone to get something for free that they are paying for. But it's not like they are going to be able to keep it unless they do play, so really the point is kinda moot.
I wonder if we can get back-pay too...

He could have played a month for free on a familiar and hopefully well equipped character. He chose to 'delete his account' instead. Perhaps we have all learned a lesson here. Next time you give some one a cookie... give them a glass of milk too.

You could take it a step further and ask why we all didn't get a free month?
Regardless, I think you guys are over-reacting to someone posting some disappointment.
People are allowed to be disappointed in things, even if you don't think they should be.
They should also be allowed to express that disappointment without being picked apart for it.

Because a 10% UO revenue reduction might be just enough for EA to pull the plug?
I don't think anyone is upset with someone posting disappointment, but with the perceived attitude presented in the OP. Just the other day, my Burger King ran out of the Large frypods with the game tickets...disappointed as I was, I did not throw my meal out.
mmmmmm....fries.
Pay for your month of play...get a free gift pack
Don't pay for your month of play...get a free month of play.
TBH, given the choice, how many people would have taken the free month of play?
It is even better Drago, you reopen an account and get to discover your old chars on all shards you might have created and developed back in the days...
Than you figure out, hey, its a free month of gametime, i allready heard you get gifts if you at least subscribe for one month for a few bucks.
= 2 Month Gametime for 1 month subscrition + Gifts on all my old chars, house placement possibilities, discover all the new content (you need 2 months anyway for it if you came back after years) etc...
And btw, i didnt see anyone with no RTB accounts cry out here they didnt get a month of free gametime - is it because they got their gifts? Or is it they dont care?
Thats realy funny because the majority of players might not participate at RTB and are still not upset they didnt get a month of free gametime - i guess its because they understand what RTB is all about and stands for: Return to Britain: Come back for free for a limited time and check out the new Ultima Online - if you like it, subscribe and enjoy the full game.
All we do with our harsh and overemotional critisism is to piss off the volunteers who support "our" game the best they can because they love it and sometimes i even think live for it, but, as someone else said on this thread, this is the wrong group to load of all the ****z of anger about something not working - and even worse, if they expain the situation, or try to, they get even more attacked and flamed - even accused to get PAYED for ther opinion and "defending" EA/Mythic.
Critics are fine, if they dont come together with emotions - which is very difficult - it leads to overreactions that, if you overthink them and read them again if you calmed down, let you regret what you did 99% of the time the next day...and most of the time you discover, it was for nothing realy important
Fact 1. The are around 30 EMs
Fact 2. They are paid by EA
Fact 3. They post here
Fact 4. When they post here, they dont disclose that they are paid by EA
Fact 5. Nobody cares
fact 1. possibly true, I haven't counted
Fact 2. agreed
fact 3. Actually, to the best of my knowledge, most of them don't, except in an official capacity on their EM boards. Of course you may have more insight into their regular ids than I do. I'd be delighted if you would pm me and share that knowledge.
Fact 4. That's because they're not allowed to.

And reviewing this thread, I think maybe it's time to bring it to a close.
