Sorry to bug you with reality but Fel DID get all the action some years back, in the "Minax's Revenge" scenario that followed the Age of Shadows expansion.
There was some whining, largely consisting of talking about all of the insure hacks you Fellies were using, but considerably less than you're doing right now.
In fact, there was whining from Fellies even then....One of the EMs dared to actually fight reds that were attacking the event (horrors!!!), when a GM had forgotten to remove the EM's invul flag. By contrast, I didn't whine until very recently about being killed by an invulnerable Minax at one of the events.
The Fellies got that EM fired, largely for someone else's error and for daring to actually fight. When I realized my paralyze shot didn't work because Minax was invulnerable, it never even occurred to me to go onto the boards and whine, and thus get someone fired.
So, yeah. Your statement above is simply factually incorrect.

You don't have to tell me there were problems running events in Fel lol. I have kinda played there for over 8 years. Clearly you think all Fel players are ebil cheats, not worthy of an event. You want to cast sweeping generalisations about a group of Fel players, most of which quit years ago. And the griefers who stayed aren't all in Fel today. I'm saying you don't know all those players as much as you think. The folks who play in Fel now aren't all old vets, some weren't even around when you think we all cheated and hacked. Which we didn't. It's ok, I've met umpteen folks like you who think they know Fel. You all rattle off your stories of incidents where people were naughty and use it as justification for not giving us new content. It's as old as Tram is.

Instead, you bash those of us who DO use the official fiction over the head, referring to the official fiction as "excuse."

Nice missing the point there....

The explanation is simple. Felucca and Trammel are different places, the latter created by Nystul so we could escape from Minax and her followers.

Yes, I know that... I remember when Trammel was created, I was there before, during and after... But it doesn't make the mirroring of lands and place names any more workable than they were then. I realise and appreciate there is fiction behind it, but what you seem to misunderstand is that fiction can be adapted to make a more playable game while not being discounted.
I'll try and explain this again, because you seem to think I'm suggesting writing fiction out when I'm not. We could have had towns called New Moonglow, New Britain for example. Occlo became Haven and was changed, yet the sky didn't fall. That's all it would have taken, very minor changes to make it more in line with how communities behave. Or, for the NPCs who took over the new towns to perhaps improve the designs of their buildings when they made a new start there. To decorate differently. I'm sure a little bit of effort could have given us a different feel but without dumping the fiction. Heck we could have had contests like we had on Europa once to decorate the buildings.

Here is a link to the UO:R playguide.
See the 109th printable of the document, labeled as page 216 in the text.
Now granted, this is exactly the fiction that you want to ignore, so this link won't matter to you. I am hoping, though, that it will help to persuade those who might take you seriously.
However, when you say there is no "explanation," this is a factual error. A plain and simple factual error. On YOUR part. Yet again.

Now where does it state that the buildings all had to be done identically and nobody could name cities like New Trinsic for a wee bit of distinction? Oh look, it doesn't. Once again, I did not suggest ignoring the fiction, but working with it to make a more logical environment for RP. That's all.

I don't recall you when I was on Europa for a time, and that's just as well, because I look upon that time with fondness.

Shows what you know of me in one line... My town is in Fel for starters...
