    @DarkStarr plus keeping the BAD ASS Bosses kill-able by one person in the single player OFFLINE game without having a 200 level in every skill.

    I agree - "Devs continue on the path they have chosen to let PVPers do what they like to do and the rest of us not have to participate."

    Ya, I don't think anything different is a consideration, nor should it be.

    um no... It doesnt matter that he would have not made Tram in hindsight. The point is that they lost 70% of their new players. If they had not made Tram, the game would have been dead. So in effect, if hes looking back thinking he should not have made Tram, then he was wishing that the game failed.

    Maybe you should read it again? Anyway, it doesn't matter, agree to disagree.

    Actually NOT what he said, he said we would have left the old zone as Trammel and made the new lands Felucca. Which a lot folks thought was the right thing to do. Too man PVE/RP communities had to try to reestablish in the new lands and were never able to get their towns redone after the new land rush. PaxLair just stayed in the old lands (Fel), where a number of us continue to play today.

    Qoute:
    "If I had the chance to do it again, (and we had different fiscal and time constraints), we would have done something more like keeping the current worlds with the original ruleset (like we later did with the Seige Perilous shard, which was too late in my view), and make new shards with a more PvE ruleset."

    "make new shards with a more PvE ruleset"

    Honestly this is all ancient history, I just find this phenomenon of us all reading the same 5 paragraphs and coming up with what we want to hear kind of amazing.

    Very similar to the old training of whisper an exact phrase to the one next to you, then it gets whispered to each next person and by the time it comes full circle the message has changed, interesting stuff

    Sure, here's the quotes:


    “The unforgiving play environment that made UO so intense was clearly driving away between 70+% of all the new players that tried the game within 60 days”


    “After the change which broke the game space into PvP and PvE worlds, the player base and income nearly doubled (we went from 125k to 245k subs). So from a fiscal responsibility standpoint it was a totally winning move.”


    Im ok agreeing to disagree but not with arguing just to argue.

    This means that Tax Free Deeds are going to be made available on the crown merchants?

    I too am enjoying this release! Running around doing my thing and then be able to stop and fish for lunch or even a trophy fish to bring home.
