Im gonna guess here but im guessing maybe 15 people on these boards that posts would quit SP but how many hundreds would join?Sometimes you gotta loose a few to gain many...

Well since that quote from your post came 3 days before his post on the subject.....
I wouldn`t hold your breath.
Which post are you referring to? I see that you linked to a post on 2/15 where Cal mentioned why they aren't considering server merges, but nowhere did he state that the classic server option was off the table.

Back when they had the very first town hall meeting in Los Angeles, which was about 4-5 years ago, someone asked the question along the lines of would they ever build a pre-tram shard. Their response was "depends on the interest. How many people would play on a pre-tram shard" and at that point I'd say about 1/2 the people in the town hall raised their hands. At that point they were like, ohh wow, this is something we should look into.
Point being, it's been 4-5 years that they have been 'considering' building a classic shard, if not longer. Maybe one day they will do it, but I sure as hell ain't holding my breath.
I'd love a classic shard, I much prefer non-item based crap and pre-aos combat. But truthfully, if a classic shard came about, Siege would die. So many people come to Siege because it's the closest thing to old-school uo. If there was a classic shard, which would be old-school uo, they wouldn't come to Siege.
Then let it kill siege. What do you care anyway? You'll be on the classic server living it up. I'd rather play siege at any population than a classic server, and I see no benefit to anyone in wiping siege for one. It wouldn't make people who wanted siege to stay how it was stick around (why would they?) but it would ruin those peoples fun, for no discernible reason.
Thats fine, but why wipe siege? That makes no sense what so ever. I'd I would be willing to bet that the fun of a classic server wont be as great as most people think it will be. Maybe for pvpers... but thats it.
There's no good reason to wipe siege. They could just build a a classic server and leave it at that.
If it somehow ruined siege so be it. If opening a classic shard shut down siege then siege deserved to die. If everyone left siege for a classic server it would just point out there is something majorly wrong with siege.
I think the people that don't like the idea are those who feel somehow owning a castle and all the pixel crack is actually worth something in the end.

Actually, crafting in the old days was awesome. Everyone used GM stuff and crafters used to hang at the Brit forge and repair equipment, make new stuff, and generally socialize. It was a blast and crafters made a killing.
But yes, no reason to wipe Siege.

Yea I know the feeling a got a big place in Yew myself. As a matter of fact Elmer, there is no other place id rather be than in Yew. I admit Yew can be can be rough on me at times but I still enjoy being in Yew. I love how Yew can take a serious pounding from me, like when the blackthorn invasion was in the area , and Yew will just come back for more. I also enjoy those big thick Yew logs.
In a nutshell, id definitely set up my sausage vendor in the back of Yew (Empath Abbey) any time.
*snickers*
I know, I was there. I spent most of my time at the brit forge. But thats then, and this is now, and things have changed, I feel. I like that crafting is more involved and diversified, and like I've said, I think the vast majority of the mystique of the classic shard is in a desire to recapture what UO was once like. I'd put down big money that a classic rule set would not accomplish this.

Yew forgot about all the gerbils that live to the south! They use hollow trees as a rear entry to Yew.
I'm starting to think I'm the last one on the shard...

Speaking from my own experience,I never go to the popular spots.Haven`t been to SA yet(well did do some Bora farming) since I can farm the old lands or Ilsh unimpeded. I personally don`t mind the down turn in population since I play more of a loner anyways. I`m free to roam dungeons and hit up places I`d normally stay away from. There must be people playing because I`ve made millions off Ginsu`s place and have to restock almost daily.
I think its much ado about nothing really. A small part of the shard left for other shards. /shrug So be it. When my vendors sit idle for a couple weeks and my money dries up.....maybe I`ll start to worry. So far, thats not in sight.
Just a cycle IMO. I`m sure things will get better and I even have high hopes that our Dev team will do something with Siege. What? Who knows,when? Who knows,hehe. I`m havin fun here. Got plenty of time to build my wealth along with my templates. Still working on my pk`r but when your ROT`ing 3 (used to be 4) chars.... gonna be awhile.
No not anymore...
this thread is full of shi-t
stop crying that always been like that and the shard come back up with people.
EA will close This Shard ?... Never
"Give everyone here the chance a free char transfer to a prodo shard of thier choice per account with all the items and goldies you can hold."
You know you only realy want this now since you changed servers.
But i still agree! = )

Id go to a new server to play a pre aos shard to see what it was like with a good con. Ive been around about 11 years. Would have loved to had cable/dsl for all of them, but the first 5 i spent on 24k dial up in the back woods of west tennessee.
Slow as i was i could still mess up fools...
With that being said the only possible way i would agree for anythig simmilar to a wipe is that they not delete my char. Instead drop my skill cap to 700 and let me choose which skills i want from my existing ones. With the individual cap being 100.
