Of course, era accuracy will also require a $7.99 donation be made to the site every month as well per account. It will also require they lower the connection to an ISDN with 128kbps to emulate lag and also reinstate bugs that plagued us during T2A years. Sounding ridiculous enough yet? I'm just explaining what exactly you want when you ask for 100% accuracy.
I'm sure no one is complaining about not getting to pay a monthly fee, nor is anyone saying "man I wish there was more lag here..." , but I'd play the above in a heartbeat.

Believe it or not, many players come here wanting accuracy. Yes the change in policies and the automation of gameplay appeals to some gamers, but I'd bet just as many are put off when they come here hoping for an accurate version of the game only to find a slew of inaccurate features that have completely changed the game.

You're not the first to use the above arguments, actually they come up in every single discussion regarding multiclienting, macroing, and events, but I've never bought it.

The fact that more and more players continue to come to a shard that puts accuracy first, a server that is always changing to become more like the era (even when it comes to adding in what are admittedly bad features of the era) speaks well to the fact that many players want an accurate version of the game.

Going red isn't the answer, we need more o/c lol.

What UOSA has is a different ratio(more balanced even) of newbs to pvmers/crafters to pvpers than any other t2a shard ever.

We have more NON-pvpers than any other shard even. Think about it. WE do have lots of pvpers, but even more we have pvmers. That's why everyone goes red, that's not the answer.

Get in o/c, war everyone. Talk to everyone. Get it together.

The answer is not everyone going red, that could kill the shard as UOSA consists of mainly non-pvpers. They stimulate the economy, offer population and socialization so killing them really isn't the answer. Sure we need pks, as that's part of UO but we need to start going about things differently if we want better pvp, keep in mind this isn't OSI 1998 with thousands of players playing 1 char. Treat out population better.

o/c. If you want to keep pking then stop being a pansy and Solo pk instead of GANKING solo bards all day, get some skill. Learn how to kill a bard that tries to recall on a mage 1v1. It's more fun and you'll actually get better at pvp.
