I don't see any reason why the guardzone would go. We all know it takes alot for them to do something different for Siege lol, so I don't see any change to the guardzone any time soon
I'm guessing a good few of the houses will stay private and quiet. Which will be a shame but ya can't force anyone.
Fine with me. But I'll admit, I don't use the hub much, except for the Abyss teleporter. But it would certainly be interesting to see it set up there.
Sounds to me like a mini-Trammel. Why would they introduce that to Siege?
Would be better to move it to TnT´s vendor house at Yew gate if Mono is planning on letting that one go...
Because Siege isn't in their master plans lol. You can see from the HoC chat a few months back how awkward siege was when it was asked lol.
Before you do something like that, maybe try e-mailing Mesanna to see if there's anything new on the horizon in terms of EM activity on Siege. I know the EMs have made hubs of a sort on other shards and maybe that is something she has considered for Siege but just hasn't gotten around to doing yet. Would hate to see you put a lot of gold and time into moving if she actually has something like a hub planned for Magincia on Siege. We could end up with two hubs instead of just one!
And you are complaining about the safety of "production" shards while at same time hoping for a guard zone player town??
I couldn't go there either until I did the quest thingie. Only Miranda acct. is SA'd anyhow, but I couldn't take her to see the Abyss house till she did that quest.
Personally I wouldn't move it. I use the Umbra hub a lot myself. Course wherever ya slapped it I would probably use it anyhow, but because it is also by the Memorial building, and downtown Umbra seems useful right where it is, too.
Yeh but once upon a time WE HAD player run towns here, course with dwindling population those player run towns are ghost towns now, but we had the Shire, we had Iantown, we had Wintermoor, all of which were pretty far removed from guard zones. We had events, some worked out fine, some ended up sometimes mass slaughter but they did thrive as they did, when we had the people running events IN them till we lost a lot of our player base that lived in those player run towns.
But we also do not have the throngs of PLAYER KILLERS here any longer either, like having the comic fun to have a horde of VMP come tell a story, at story nights !
Omg I love you.
Your logic is flawed. If you have to completely change something, you didn't save it.I very much admire all that Mesanna and all of the Bio/Mythic crew do for UO. Mesanna has in fact started a project for us here recently.
But when push comes to shove... We do not get a lot of Dev time. It is a simple matter of numbers. I understand this. It was made pretty clear to me.
Catch 22? Perhaps... We do not have the numbers to warrant attention. With out attention we will never get the numbers.
I used to buckle and gnash my teeth of some of these changes... The Trammelization of Siege. There are some few that will dispute this. Those that know me will agree for the most part.
That was then. Siege had a viable population.
My belief now is... We use the tools we are given. We do it in our on unique Siege way. (By the way we need a round 2 of come to Siege, and I will give you a room. Make it a room folks... A single chest or two is not welcoming.)
Back on topic... Maybe.
How many of you are old enough to remember "Horton hears a Who"?
A tiny community floating in the wind. They fought. They debated. They even screamed. Only when they came together as a whole did they survive. That voice of the whole. (and Cindy Loo Who too *winks*)
When we actually do that. When we come to gather, and make Siege a fun, interesting and, Indeed! Challenging!
This is how it is... We make Siege. One day perhaps... Horton will hear us.
