It took me 30 seconds to sign up, it only took me 10 to leave.

We just need the infinite spawning treasure chests in Lord British's castle again, and a whole lot of lockpicks.

 

Yawn...

Walks back inside.

 

You should have to log out first and go to the website to purchase gold. Keep the store out of the "game" experience. No pop ups, no click-to-buy buttons in game menus, etc. Anything store-related regarding real cash, be it add ons such as spoons of prosperity or even gold (if that happens), needs to occur outside of the game experience.

 

Oh look something shinny !

 

Frankly I'd rather keep the add-ons that add anything other than something purely cosmetic out of any store after launch. If they do keep them in perhaps a limit on the items per account? Or make them non-transferable...

 

It's going to be very interesting what the store will look like post-launch. I'm fine with most items except these.

 

I never said anything about a store or purchasing anything, also I was kidding.

 

The only innovation I want out of a MMO is a return to the sandbox grass roots of the genre begun by UO and continuing forward with it, thus taking the path not taken by the industry. I don't need gimmicky new combat systems. Just the freaking freedom to freaking play the freaking game the way I freaking want to the way freaking UO freaking allowed me to freaking do.

/Looks at above statement and wonders what the world record for using "freaking" in one sentence is/

An MMO developer that does this will have my money.

Having said that, I realize that this game is not going to be UO2, and it will be unique unto itself, so I am content to wait and see how it will work out...
