Its not called OSI anymore, Mythical runs uo now days, same guys that run warhammer online. And EA made a new free online strategy game called Lord of Ultima. Havent tried it, looks like Evony with Ultima name put on it. Probably lame game.

Those neon white deeds are skill/stat increasing scrolls; they allowed characters to raise skills to 105, 110, 115, or 120, depending on the scroll; or their status by 5, 10, 15, 20, or +25 stat cap.

When they first came into play on the server, they sold for lots; and infact when I played 2 years ago they were still going for quite a bit of cash... Check out that picture now though; left on the floor like no one cares.

Just proof of the content inflation in-game; keep adding new stuff and the old stuff you might as well wipe your arse with...
And thats whats happening to spawning rares on here.... if something isnt done about there spawning then there going to be worth nothing eventually
Thats the way rares were on OSI, Dailys would spawn daily and so on. As for the silver system Im not touching that one with a 10 foot pole.
If your saying that OSI's system was right, then.... wtf are u thinking... they define failure.

OSI did great until EA micromanaged them out of existance.

These items are just that: items, their spawn mechanic is era accurate and its the players that determine that they are "rares." If supply overwhelms demand and their values go down then so be it, sorry you wasted money on useless pixels.

I dont buy rares for that reason.... most rares have lost a ton of value since i started playing here and they just keep decreasing. There spawn being era accurate should not be a factor, if this shard wants to go long term then obviously something must be done, or else the only rares around will be server births, silver turn in prizes, and blackfoots event uniques. Then the "rares" will just be ignored at idocs just as power scrolls are ignored at those champ spawns.

Not saying that rares shouldnt spawn at all, just saying that there shouldnt be a spot where a rare always spawns.... should be random unknown spots around the world.

First off I never said it was perfect. Im saying the way rares spawn here are the way they spawned on OSI(era accuracy). And If i recall right rares weren't planned they were just items that were never locked down.
