Is he trying to imply that reds we're able to go into Cove..?

bump maybe Derrick will get around to addressing this

I R STUPID

I apologize, I confused Cove with Buc's Bay.

Honestly, it's easy to forget Cove even existed since it didn't have a bank on Chessie.

It's the main reason I wanted to buy the tower....and a reason I was willing to pay a premium price. I just hope that we didn't go from having a bank there to not having a bank, just because "some towns had them some didn't". If it's out there I just want to see patch notes of something along the lines "all banks from cove have been removed", not random memories of people who might have possibly played OSI and some random quotes from a forum, or the fact that some towns had them some didn't. Just trying to get to the root of how this change became a no brainer.

I have to agree, removing the bank killed Cove. It's pretty much a ghost town. I used to love my house I had nearby, but within a week when I realized the bank was gone for good, I packed up and moved elsewhere. I would like to see it come back, but if it's truly NEA, I'll deal with it. It's not like it makes or breaks the game, but it was nice to have the bank there

Does Cove have a bank in the demo? I've never messed with the demo, so I honestly don't know.

There is no Cove in the demo... only Ocllo

Well that answers that question!

The demo is not the source of all knowledge and answers, personally when I tried it out back when I bought the game in 99 it functioned more like the early UO emulators rather than OSI

Clearly we need to remove all towns except ocllo, the code of the demo demands it.

There is no evidence to support the existence of a bank at Cove during the T2A era, and a patch note from late UOR clearly states that Cove did not actually have a bank. Given that, we will not have a bank return to Cove.

A patch note from late UO:R saying that Cove did not have a bank during UO:R or T2A? I feel like with a situation like this, where it doesn't sound like any concrete information was found that there was not a bank in cove during T2A that this should be like a NFL review. Unless there is indisputable evidence that says there wasn't a bank the original call (that there was a bank) should stand. The decision to take the bank away from cove because we found UO:R patchnotes that state something along the lines of cove not having a bank is a little irrational in my opinion. The decision effected real estate such as mine which went from prime to being not so prime with the removal of the bank. I'm not the only person who's real estate was effected by this change. If we were not considering the consequences to certain players, then we should be removing houses inside guardzone.
