UO Second Age

But certain forces of this server decided that it was more important to grief and alienate new players, running them off of the server for good. So much this. What we are witnessing is something EA recognized long ago when they instituted the much-maligned Trammel. Left to their own devices, a smal...

Housing limitations is based on the housing mechanics at the time, which limited players to having 1 house per character, which means you could have 5 houses per account per shard. Thanks Boomland, I realize that the OSI policy was to allow 5 houses per account, but my point is that it's actually n...

Isn't a housing limit a policy accuracy thing rather than a mechanical accuracy? If so, seems there's some hope it could be changed.

I couldnt agree more. Housing is not an issue with UOSA and doing a 1 house/account wont do anything other than put the final stake in the heart of UOSA. You will lose what is left of the committed core of the shard. Doing this will not bring a mass of newbies to the shard. I agree things rightfull...

I, for one, don't quite buy the "someone explain this to me" motive apparent in this OP. YMMV.

One thing I'm not sure we've heard from the staff here…

Do you (individually or collectively) believe the low population is actually a problem? If so, what ideas are currently in consideration to fix it?

Said another way:

Trammel: An overused UOSA forum meme that refers to any change which negatively affects the fraction of players whose only game joy comes from griefing and PK'ing.

"Let's all LOS macroers in their homes, that will totally fix the population issues." -Capitalist

"I want trammel." - GuardianKnight I interpret what he said differently. I interpret it more like: "I'm trying to do something good for the players, the shard, and the population as a whole by helping new players establish themselves in the game. Meanwhile assholes who care only abou...
