Would you leave your shard for the Shard of Your Dreams?

[UOKaiser]

Too bad the majority of Gamers now a days are "Carebear" in their refusal to run the risk of losing their precious items.. Even more so with the introduction of Faction Gear and Imbuing which basically allows anyone *ON SIEGE* to have the option to run suits much like these we see on Prodo.

More players with a "Hardcore" PvP Mindset would be delicious..

Instead of this.. "Well i've spent 20 Million on my Suit, I dont wanna lose it!" Stuff..

Whats the average going rate for Prodo to Siege gold? lets say 5:1..

We regularly run suits which costs up to 5 Mil and are freely lootable upon each death.. 20 Mil : 5 Mil.. Something like that.

UO PvP Will die one day.. from the pathetic mindset that is.. Trammel and Insurance.

Advertising my shard.. No.. Opinions of a Siege PvPer.. Indeed.

If half of these Production PvPers were the people they pretend to be.. What a wonderful shard Siege Perilous could once again become.. (All we need are more people who arnt afraid to lose Pixels)

10 to 1 actually. Losing the equivelent of 50mil per death ouch.Some really rich people in siege.

I think i would try any shards with different rules and stuff to see which was most fun. Everyone mentions the older styles of uo when more people played. But it couldn't really just go back to that without changing something. I've heard of people controlling multiple Ww's at once i mean really we cant have that. I'd like to experience any new play style. That's why I'm trying out siege.

Welcome to SP...need any help dont hesitate to ICQ me...

 

[Mook Chessy]

One only needs to take a walk around Luna (atl) and check out the vendors...

Siege = No Duping!!

That alone makes it better then any other shard, unless of course your a duper!!

I can remember the day I left Atl...

Standing at the Yew Gate and saw 3 people with the exact same crafter Crossbow, something like 49 Magic Arrow, HCI, SSi and Damage. Can you say Dupe! (crappy bow at that)

You cant make a thread about shards and not expect people to speak about the one they play!

 

[Quenchant]

No....

Not for me, mainly due to housing. The chances of being able to reacquire the hosuing I have would be fairly difficult. I'm hooked on my castles.

[Malimus]

I picked yes! My dream shard is a classic shard pre-AoS. I would drop my castle and keep as well as give all my stuff away on pacific if it were possible. But we all know the chance of a server like that being made are like 0.000001%.


*Edit* And yes i have tried SP.

Enjoy your CASTLES...

 

[Dr Poth]

I'd move to a pre-aos shard in a blink of an eye.

Well, I play 50/50 am I bear or do I just care......actually I don't give a rats you-know-what........all the reasons listed wayyyyy up there don't phase me.

Fel. was a failed concept, so the looked to the console games and brought in tram. I don't care the morons that pvp, or the cheaters, but, if I can't stop em, avoid em.

A dream shard is just that, nothing more. UO is just a game to pass the time.
I don't care about pixels, if I did, I'd convert to bottom feederism and buy gold. I have friends where I'm at. Long time friends, and we talk in real life.
That, I cherish more than hackers, dupers, punks running around red.

So, whatever the reasons for this fantasy island poll are, let us in.

later

I'd start over if it was interesting enough. I'd still play my old server, cause it would be a waste to just simply abandon it.

If you're saying I can't do both and have to either choose the new server or keep my own, I'd probably stay at my current server. I've spent too many years and have too many memories to simply leave it just cause a new server came up.

 

[Viper09]

I would definitely give it a shot. But whether or not I'd stay depends on the population.

10 to 1 youre getting ripped, 5 to 1 youre rippin them, 7-8 to 1 is normally what alot of people settle on.

 

[CatLord]

I voted "yes"... and Seige isn't it.

ditto...

 

[Siteswap]

On the current vote as I write, it would seem that just over 30% of voters value items over gameplay. That just about sums up UO these days ...

hmm... you need to adjust your assumption.

If you've read over the thread, you'd notice a lot of the no votes are from players who do not want to leave friends, history and comfort of their home shards. Its not pixel-crack items.. it is they are invested in their community.

 

[Harlequin]

YUP! And 70% of the folks value gameplay over items! Isn't it wonderful

 

[Bruin]

No doubt, build the perfect shard for me and I'll be there. Only problem is everyone has their own version of utopia, thus my perfect shard is probably very few peoples perfect shard, and thus I'd be playing by myself. So it would be difficult, heh.

For me the closest would be -

1. The interaction and depth of the game given by the staff through seers, troubadours and companions.
2. Siege ruleset.
3. Pre-aos combat, closer to pre-UO:R.
4. Some way to balance out the economy - gold coming in equals gold going out.
5. Obviously solve all bugs and ban all hackers and illegal scripters (dreams!).

Some other things I can't think about.....

 

[Smokin]

It would never happen cause the shard of my dreams would be to have all my old friends back playing UO again. Heck it would even have people I didn't like playing again.

 

[Tanivar]

To get back to a pre-item based UO game world, yes i would.

Even with Imbueing allowing us to make items of real power, this game needs to lose the item focus completely.

Hopefully the 5000 hp, does 100+hp damage per hit monsters would go as well since they were probably created to give the uber -gear people something they couldn't kill by pretty much just riding past it.

 

[AEowynSP]

They need a Siege for West Coasters damnit!

I play from west coast on Siege and do just fine.
I voted yes because I already did move once years ago when I found Siege, gave away most of my stuff including 3 homes and never looked back.
Just my personal opinion why siege isn't perfect.
No item with mods should be blessed (damn event spell books) you want a blessed spell book use the siege bless option.

 

[SoulWeaver]

I suggest coming to Siege Perilous and if any changed needed to be made change them to Siege. Everything you speak of is here.

Come check our forums out join our shard and we'll help you build your new life.

 

[NuSair]

One of my requirements would be no scripting and that knocks seige right off the list there.

If such a thing was possible, I would do it in a heartbeat.

 

[Tina Small]

I have no problem with the idea of starting out fresh on a new shard with nothing. Have done it many many times already.

But would I give up all my existing characters just to try out a new shard? Nope. You could strip all my characters bare and delete everything they own and just leave them with their trained up skills and I'd be perfectly content to start building up their gear and acquiring pets for them all over again. But I wouldn't want them to leave the shards they are already on because I enjoy exploring those shards and finding out what's different and unique about each and every one of them. I'm not sure I could ever give up being able to go out and discover all that history and restrict myself to one "perfect" but brand new and history-less shard.

 

[Damien Softstep]

Thats ANY server your gonna play be it free or production that problem exists on more than just siege...i would rather have scripting than duping honestly...

Agreed, however at least on Siege you can take action by killing the scripter.

 

[Flora Green]

Although I just transferred back to my original shard, I voted yes. Why not? It's just a game and pixels. I started on LA on day 1 leaving all of my Chessy stuff behind and it was a lot of fun rebuilding from scratch.
