i'm not afk right now at the dojo but people keep luring stuff to my dog...isn't that banable? yes i'm hidden but also not afk.
Fight fire with fire page on every single one that you believe is luring at you. Them answering a GM will not save them. They will get suspended for luring. Do what they do to you assume there guilty and become a anti-page frenzy cop. Don't worry about talking to them to show them youre there. You are not obligated to do that. They are not allow to be moral than thou and believe there griefting is allowed.i'm not afk right now at the dojo but people keep luring stuff to my dog...isn't that banable? yes i'm hidden but also not afk.
NO need to. I recieved my complimentary 48 hour suspension today for my spawn sitting auto defending activities today. So now the question is when I argure the point of bank sitting what will they say. This is turning into a real life litmus test.Cloak‡1297178 said:I am not completely sure if I see the validity of your argument any longer tho, since it does seem you are trying to skew the policy to fit your argument, I am sure that EA does not consider the journal entries to be an action, thus it is not an action. In this case you would need to make a new point for your argument. I am more or less out of ways to describe this so, unless you come up with something creative I will just have to point to all my current posts and will no longer be able to continue the debate with you

Listen, I know you want to get all philosophical about this, but in practical terms it has been established MANY many times on this forum that bank sitting will not get you banned (it is not considered an action as long as you are just sitting there). Engaging in auto-defend combat (golems, etc.) will get you banned (GMs consider it an action).NO need to.

Wouldn't help at all. If they really wanted to do it they can just load up a auto attack script and bang back in action. Will propably push the players that never used a script and are just using the abilitie to be afk into trying out script that will do the job more efficiently.Going off topic a bit... I still think they should make 2D disconnect idle chars like KR does, so that people can't burn counts just by sitting at Luna... and maybe that'd help fight afk farming as well.
KR has been abandoned and no longer updated. Please stop the constant "but but KR!!!" There are a dozen ways to stay connected -- it wouldn't stop anything.Going off topic a bit...

I believe at one point long ago it was illegal to burn off counts unattended by bank sitting and the gm went around wasting resources on this baning any unattended bank sitters till finaly they just let it go. Don't remmember when but it was a long time ago.Listen, I know you want to get all philosophical about this, but in practical terms it has been established MANY many times on this forum that bank sitting will not get you banned (it is not considered an action as long as you are just sitting there).

So argue all you want about what SHOULD BE, but this has been discussed a MILLION times and its not likely to change anytime soon.

Welcome to the 2nd Law of UO: All GMs enforce the rules differently.My suspension is being reversed!
But, but KR!KR has been abandoned and no longer updated. Please stop the constant "but but KR!!!" There are a dozen ways to stay connected -- it wouldn't stop anything.
You are 100% correct on that statement. That is why so many players cheat at everything since they know it's a snow ball chance in hell they will ever get banned. They need to do away with all the warnings and grow a pair and ban people and once word gets out they do take action the cheats will slow down a lot. It will not stop them by no means but it will slow them down by a lot.Welcome to the 2nd Law of UO: All GMs enforce the rules differently.My suspension is being reversed!
Fresh of his call to EA support Mion rushes back to the common folk to tell his tail.
Here it is everybody straight from someone who was willing to challange the system. My suspension is being reversed! Apparently you are not required to answer a GM if you are sitting in the desert while monsters auto attack you. The rep did say that the GM's handle it .. sorry he called the GM "in game customer service" I thought that was funny. said the GM's handle each situation on a case by case basis, so one might wisk you off to jail while another might not, either way he agreed with me that I don't have to respond if i'm just sitting there. He also said that the behaviour of sitting at the bank allowing the game to refresh you while you are either there or not there is the "exact"... <---- the exact same thing as standing in the desert and auto defending monsters, and the GM's can and have done the same thing to people that they find non-responsive at the bank, although as I think it has been established here you don't have to respond in either situation but by then your account is already suspended and you have to wait on the phone for 40 minutes just to wait 1-2 more days to get back on by which time you might be un-suspended anyways.
Atleast the mark on my account will be removed. I won't be pushing the limits anytime soon if you know what I mean, but for all you bank sitters out there your time is comming...
Ok off to play on my second account.
Oh and as for the mempo, the answer is NO
Only by moving can you stay logged in with how KR handles it. Actually even in the 2d client, attacking monsters would not fix it you would have to do something more than that, but in KR you have to move about, since its the only way the game knows you are there.KR has been abandoned and no longer updated. Please stop the constant "but but KR!!!" There are a dozen ways to stay connected -- it wouldn't stop anything.
Actually it is up to the call center to retain subscriptions, if reversing the ban keeps you paying then it is their job to do as such. This does not mean that the people who Write the rules for the game did not intend for the auto defend to be a considered illegal it just means that "retention" gets to decide how to retain you.
Maybe some people remember when they had that greeting type event at the gm center? Yes being able to ask the actual people who wrote the rules what they consider breaking them is much more accurate than the retention people saying that is ok we will let you off because we need your money. You should have kept going, they could have done alot more for you than just unsuspend you![]()
In the days of yore, afk macroing wasn't illegal. However, it soon became a problem when people macro'd day and night (and without even using the complex scripting programs today)."Takes up resources on the server that deny them to the other active players".
Aha! At last a reason! That might be true now if they had not run off so many players.![]()
agreed.I don't care if they're hidden or not.
The GMs need to patrol Tokuno and actually enforce the game's ToS. It would be nice to see them doing something, and they could jail a few unattended folks in the process. I don' care if people sit andfarm the same place day and night... just make their asses SIT THERE when they do.
This is like they've set up speed traps... but didn't bother staffing them with any cops.
here is a example:Wow, I missed the line in the TOS or RoC that states I am obliged to speak everyone that comes my way.Maybe I took his comment too seriously, but he stated that he knew the players got marks. Not that I'm being an idiot because I've been paged on for the same reason hes paged on other players and haven't been marked for it yet because how am I suppose to know if the player is afk or just being obnoxious?
If a player chooses to remain silent/stealthed while still maintaining a hunting spree, they by all rights deserve to be treated like scripters.
I did read how luring and griefing is a no-no.
So if you want to pride yourself on luring against those you don't see fit to play, then it is you that is running the risk of having your account marked or even banned.

Re the reduced population - any new game will always have a massive influx of players. Alot of these will leave after the initial stages. Realistically, less than half are expected to remain and the population will stabilize at this figure. I think that's what we are seeing in UO now plus some atrophy through the years.
Exactly. Don't hate the player, hate the game.The bottom line is this: This event encourages mindless farming. If you want a bunch of Chaos Blue dyes or a Mempo, or all the Majors, you need to spend some serious hours farming -- attended or unattended.
I spend a lot of time with my laptop on my lap, in front of the tv while I farm my minors.
If the Devs truly wanted to have an event without mindless farming (and which discouraged unattended people) it would be very simple. One easy idea would be to have an NPC you report to in Tokuno. Each time you take his quest, you are assigned a random Tokuno monster to kill, and a number of them to kill that is also random between say 20-40.
When you are done with the quest, you get a random minor.
Very simple, and would kill 99% of scripting since what monster and how many would be totally random.
He may have been very familiar and quite clear, but also extremely wrong. EA's support site includes this in it's definition of unattended macroing:AHHHHHH man I should have demanded a MEMPO!!
I see your point but this guy was very fimiliar with UO he was quite clear about the bank sitting thing and the auto defend being the same thing. He may have "retained" me by seeing my situation in my favor but there should be no more arguement about the bank sitting. One of the things he said was it takes up resources on the server that deny them to the other "active" players. He did not really bite on the journal thing but said he could see my point. All and all if a GM tries to talk to me I'm going to respond, it's not worth not having my account for 1-3 days with or without the mark.
Although admittedly the description can use a little improvement since it concludes with this gem:Unattended macroing means being away from your UO session while your character repeats a series of actions (even automatic ones such as combat or passive skill gain) for any length of time.
Find it intriguing how someone could chat unattended.Remember, you have to be doing something, such as a skill, chat, or action to be in violation of our unattended macroing policy.
Luna shop gaters for example?Find it intriguing how someone could chat unattended.![]()
No...one of the main reasons for this ToT III monster droppings...hehe... ishi all!
Did not want to start a new thread, hehe.
Do you guys think that when we get blackrock it could have been a mempo?
Just curious on this is all.
Happy week end to players who do not cheat!
I personally think the Dev team should make ALL SHARDS, ALL FEL RULES!!!
LMAO @ all you little wussies running for the door. I'm also LMAO @ ""The OMG pvp; I'll quit crowd too"!
Lets all face it most Trammies are cowardly, pathetic, greifing wussies who wouldn't last a minute in FEL. Instead of wasting space on Stratics whining like a bunch of Kindegarteners, you could just PK the ******* that pissin' in your Post Toasties!
BTW, You could power a wind generator with all the hot air around here from the perpetual WHINING, and you could fertilize the entire state of Texas with all the BULLSH*T.
I'm sorry but every event its the same regurgitated BS. I got a novel suggestion.....WHY DON"T YA'LL SHUT UP AND PLAY?!?!?!?!
Now consider yourselves .....!
Lets not forget most people who complain about this are people who play in fel majority of the time. Of course I am not sure what the difference in all shards having a fel has to do with all facets being under the fel ruleset on all shards (that is what he suggested anyway).UM all shards have fel unless you know of shards that are all trammel based and you are holding out on us.
because someone chooses to play the way they want does not give anyone a right to cut them down, and call them names. That kinda makes me think is that someone who posts things like this are still in kindergarten. really doesn't matter how anyone plays as long as it is legit.
Shh!!! I know what she meant when she posted shard and not facet, but I couldn't resist.Cloak‡1300986 said:Lets not forget most people who complain about this are people who play in fel majority of the time.

Do not agree all trammel players are grievers, fel players would fit that bill tho (yes rez killing people is grieving, just because more or less anything goes in fel does not mean you are held to a lower moral standard). And because people choose not to pvp does not mean they are unable, the game is not about killing other players only so people should not be forced to have to engage in such things just because the smallest part of the population feels that way, lets face it more people play in trammel 100pct of the time than all the other mixtures of people.
If you still do not understand let me break it down for you.
100% trammel players = 90% of UO population
100% fellucia players (prolly do not exist) = For the sake of people who actually confine themselves to siege I will say 1% of the UO population
90% of the time fel = About 2-3% of the population
Mixture of playing in fel and tram = 6-7% of the population
Can you see now? It is simple logic to keep tram, in fact if they would get rid of any facet on ALL shards it is more likely they will get rid of fel since they will not lose as much money that way. Hmm this could be endless but meh I will end it there.
Edit: Obviously not all of that was to you Lady Michelle.Just wanted to make sure that was clear

Haha, yea I got your point (read all the rest of my postShh!!! I know what she meant when she posted shard and not facet, but I couldn't resist.
The point is does not matter what facet someone plays tram or fel I like both facets, and hope they never get rid of either one. It is very simple concept here respect other players play styles, and stop assuming because someone griefs whine and cries that others know what facet they play on and stop labeling them. Some like to play in tram so what no big deal, same goes for fel players. Play as you please as long as it is legit.
