Skill gains are actually 100% inaccurate at the moment. The only thing that is relatively accurate with skill gains is the principle and concept of how the skills gain. The gain rate and the different principles that effect that rate do not apply here.

Skill gains could actually be easier and possibly more difficult when the real algorithms are finally implemented on this shard to produce true era accuracy for skill gains.

Honestly i appricate the time Derrick and the Staff has taken to create such a fun place for me 2 waste so much of my life. And I dont want them to feel like it is not good enough for us. I have enjoyed watching this server grow to what it has, I can only imagine how Derrick feels being the creator, havin people want him to erase what he has created, sounds insulting a Little bit even if it is just a fresh start.

I have had some of the best fun I've ever had playing a video game here and we've learned a lot about era accuracy in the time we've been here. "Could it be better . . . maybe" -Derrick,

I want it to be hard to find a tribal mask and when I see someone pvping in one I think "woah, I wonder what his resist is, he could lose that mask".

Just saying it'd be fun to see everyone start out equal. Probably not worth it in the long run.

Saying it wouldn't be worth it is a cop out, its like saying ya UO has some replay value but not a lot.

Why even suggest it? It won't happen.

I don't have much time to play during the week and certainly don't want to have to build my toon again.

I would start playing again if there were a wipe. The problem with the current shard is that the economy is ruined beyond all repair.

UO's economy is ruined by default from the start simply by design.

I could not agree with you more Rykker; however all will fall not just you!

A wipe is one of those things that sounds good but in reality would suck.

Was Siege one character per account? Not sure if I'm as big on that as one account per person. It is nice to have mules to transfer stuff, but way too easy to macro with multiple accounts. I read that it is basically impossible to restrict the number of clients on at a time, which is a big problem. My ideal situation would be:

1) Limit accounts to one per player, or, if that fails, limit skill gain above say 80 to .5/hour or something so that macroing has diminishing returns.

2) Limit 3rd party applications. OSI was always attacking the abilities of 3rd party apps to varying success. I don't know how doable it is, but if some functions were out of reach for 99% of players that wanted them and the few who found a work-around were banned/wiped it would be close enough.

3) Wipe the server.

I like the idea of saving things as-is and doing a wipe for some period of time to evaluate how things shape up (exactly what would happen if some new OSI server came online back in the day). Even without changes 1 and 2, it would be good to see if the sever would revert to a more noobish environment, ripe for action.

But then again, you can't have anything the way it used to be. /life lesson
