Application for URK Fort Improvement

[Leerix]

nor will anyone but the orcs benafit from it. I encourage rp.

anyone who enjoys fighting the orks benefit as well.

A. No fear of stat loss = more orc fighting
B. No stat loss = more orks rezzing to continue fighting
C. It's there home, who goes there except to look for urks?

Newbies who don't know about it when the first stumbled would

A. Learn quickly
B. Think it's pretty cool RP scene
C. Probably join the Urks

I'm all for it personally, love what the urks do here. Should give special situations just to encourage more of it.

This feature or the Bloodrock Orc fort is now implemented on a trial basis. We'll be keeping an eye on it and we'll see how it goes.

Thanks much for the constructive feedback on this.

ahh bloodrock orcs from greatlakes ahah

we used to have a cabin not far from the orcs on GL

used to trade with them quite alot ehhehe

good times, ahh the old days

IMO should only be for orc events as thats the time they're adding to the community overall, otherwise its on them if they want to kill innocents.

Orcs aren't really 100% rp anyways, when one dies logs in IRC and trashtalks publicly? Come on.

or another example, attack a blue orc, he runs into his house & locks doors, has another character kill & res him to count you...
That's roleplaying?

so when there is no orc event, yet orcs are awake and playing, they aren't adding to the community? That's similar to saying a rare hunter who gathers rares and sells them on his vendor, isn't adding to community unless he's at an event. Nice logic.

Orcs aren't really 100% rp anyways, when one dies logs in IRC and trashtalks publicly? Come on.

And yet more logic. When people mention Orcs are 100% RP at all times, it means in game. Out of game, as is eveident by you being able to understand what I am typing, and orc can do and say what they wish. Now.... don't get me wrong. I think it is rather foolish.... lame? for someone to die in a game, then log into a chat channel and talk smack. I mean... seriously, they died right? What can they talk smack about? They lost. Take it like a man, or woman if be the case, res, and move on. From day one playing UO back in '99, I died.... often. It's part of every game. Some people just don't get that and have to release their anger of being killed in a game with verbal jousting. Not every Orc does it.

or another example, attack a blue orc, he runs into his house & locks doors, has another character kill & res him to count you...
That's roleplaying?

No, it isn't. And in my opinion it's rather stupid of the orc who did it, or orcs if it happened more than once. one thing many people don't understand, the good orc guilds (not good as in saving the world, good as in competent) strictly enforce their rules on their memebers. If rules are broken, message the head of the clan, or the clan's leadership, and it should get resolved. Now.... words only go so far, adding screenshots of the incident help those words with a visual image the leadership can go to the offending orc and raise holy hell.

I voted yes on this poll when it was first posted, but I just wanted to comment, since so many people seem to think that the feature should only be turned on in events. I am in favor of this feature being turned on all of the time. All this does is enhance the ability of the Orcs to roleplay, and could be a major PVP enhancement for everyone.

revival...


curious... did this stick? if so... do people still war with URK... if so... can i Join? seems like if this is still in effect, i would love a place to war with orcs no consequences other than fun.

[Boondock_Saint]

URK is gone.

[Grumzugh]

The URK guild may be inactive, but there are still Orcs on the shard (Bloodclan). Bloodclan orc activity is growing, so if you're interested in role-playing an orc and having some good Spirited fun, drop me a message on PM and I can put you in touch with Aya for more information about the guild.

[Aya]

Yes, unfortunately URK has basically disbanded. They were a good group of RPers and also a good group of folks. However, as Grumzugh stated the Bloodclan has quietly been working up a small Orcish force. I am hoping to make a public recruiting thread very soon. Thanks.

[BlacKnight]

good. as you can see, derrick has in the past made appropriations to orcs that have a town. So no reason to say it wouldn't happen again. If you guys stick to RP and show him you deserve it.

[chainsoar]

I'd just like to say how ridiculously inappropriate it is for people from another guild to be speaking on behalf of the bloodrock clan in regards to their active status, especially declaring them "disbanded". If you are not a representative of the guild, you may not speak on their behalf.

I understand what you are saying. However, after speaking at length with the leadership of Bloodrock Clan and the Chieftain himself wrote an exit story here: viewtopic.php?f=52&t=44426, I felt that was not a bad way to describe their situation. I realize I am not a representative of their Clan, but when someone two posts ahead of my own says simply that URK is gone, I figured I had more insight than most and shared a bit. The Bloodclan is friendly with Bloodrock and we have reached out to each other on different occasions to help the Orcish cause, heck we have even shared an IRC channel in some of our different endeavors.
