Boat Blockades. "This must come to an end!"

[DarkWing]

I am aware that we have limited Staff intervention, but for someone to block off an entire mountainside with boats is uncalled for!

I know i have brought up boats blocking Ore resources before and even had a poll to vote on it,
but it seems that the issue has escalated to Blockades!

but lets not forget!... only a fraction of UOSA's player base even comes to the forums.

some things can not be left up to the small group of people that come to the forums!!

LOL!!!!!!!!! That's awesome! I wish I had thought of that.

Well, if we're going for accuracy and all, wouldn't osi gms destroy boats that blocked off areas? Even ones left up to a flat wall of mountains with a highend ore spawn.

This is not simply parking a boat on a mountain.

This, to my knowledge, is against the rules (and to be era accurate, it was against the rules). Did you page anyone when you found this?

whats he blocking thats so important you care so much

ahhh ore.. and thus priv mine .. no pks can get ya a game altering aspect ..

ask it is can't see a HUGH impact .. but its the idea that it is ok .. imagine this a bunch of miners "Owning an Area" .. they would have complete say one everything and one that entered .. this is not even president in Staff supported towns and should not be allowed my any one person or group of people it takes risk away ..

I do give them this.. great idea .. but I would hope such things will not be supported by staff seeing it does alter game play in its self .. its not an energy field that will soon fall but a much permanent barrier that can last forever with min. effort..

I think this is were we should draw the line. IMHO .. if you block my access because you are there and working the block .. casting ever min to two .. burning regs open for attack etc...but this is the line .. you can not barricade yourself in to gain a priv mine .. not more so then I could place a house blocking mine entrance.

I Think this should be addressed

yes i paged when i found this today . and was told that they had no rules against this at this point ... i have made previouse post about people blocking mining spots with boats and was shot down ... now they have taken it one step further .... with this action one player can pretty much OWN the entire Mountain side. with no risk at all ... just free safe mining

[Pristiq]

I agree. This totally stacks risk vs. reward (what T2A is all about).

[nickhimself]

That's pretty ridiculous. Things like that shouldn't be happening.

[DarkWing]

for one ... he is blocking mining resources ...

second .. my Pirate can't get back there and PK him

he has free mining with no risk of being PK'd

i have always had a miner when playing UO ... and would often loose boats i forgot to move away from the cliff edges. its one thing to block someones recall spot .. but to totally inhibit someone from accessing resources like this was NEVER allowed

[Lothain]

TBH I think it is creative and should be rewarded, not punished. It is on the same level as people putting up bank boats to avoid thieves.

no ... its not .. because other players can still access there bank boxes in these towns ... nothing is being Blocked from other players!

[Caswallon]

It is creative, but on OSI those boats would be deleted without warning, we all know that.

Darkwing, have you tried getting as close as possible to these boats, in a parallel fashion , then dropping another boat on the other side and recalling off the key to get in? Worth a go.
