EVENTS GETTING CUT OUT

[Guerrilla]

News flash for chaos, that has already happened in ctf

[Chaos]

ALL SILVER REWARDS....
Not one game or event.

[Guerrilla]

tap Caps Lock much?

How about this for an idea .. for 2 weeks get rid of all silver rewards and see if the same number of people are coming to events for the "FUN" of the event, or if once the "REWARDS" are gone the people are to.

The Pro-event side will just reduce their time for those two weeks.

I will never skip a bagball to prove a point no matter how much i believe in said point!

[MatronDeWinter]

Bagball is different (somewhat).

The individuals complaining about the removal of events are the same ones that will just hop back over to Divinity or whatever leet-pvp neon-crap server is out there for the two weeks. They already have an alternative, if they did not, they might play at times other than events.

When events were cut last time, actual in-game play was increased. The only real complaint most people likely had was that there was no way to get cool-trophy-stuff. If events were cut, followed by an alternative method to obtain this stuff, not as many people would have a problem, except well, those people that do not want to put any effort into playing the actual game.


(In no way does this mean that I am endorsing silver, I say remove it all...)

tbh the only player who *only* logs on for events is spanky i don't see anyone else do it ;/

[Guerrilla]

lol matron, i think u need some meds.

nobody says that u have to join any of the tournaments, and/or attend. Just don't participate if it bothers you that much, simple as that. Don't sit in forums or IRC< trying to ruin it for the players that actually enjoy the events. That is one of the main reasons i stayed playing this server, is because most of the other shards events weren't nearly as well organized, not to mention seldom happened... the events, are one of the things that kept me here, throughout all the patch notes

I seen spanky on the field a few times recently.... maybe the lack of events is working!!! z0Mg!!! Jks

You are completely right. Players who don't participate in the actual Ultima world are completely expendable from the server, and are more or less the "trammel" players of OSI. Except events are even worse than trammel in the fact they are 100% grief proof.

If you don't enjoy playing Ultima, then why are you here in the first place? I don't get it.

Why is "Ultima Online" exclusively non-automated events? In my opinion, if you use the UO client and connect to a server acting as a shard through RunUO you are playing Ultima Online regardless of if you do it to play in automated events. Calling event players "trammies" (paraquote) simply because they enjoy organization is a misrepresentation of their viewpoints just to get others to agree with your viewpoint.

At least be forthright and transparent in your statements.

In essence they are playing "Ultima", as in they are logging into the UO client, but not playing Ultima as it was originally designed (see: t2a).

A player here could log in and do nothing but events after they have finished a single character, that player is never open to anything negative happening to their character and will never uses up resources. Therefore they never has to participate in the actual game (other than to sell their silver). These events have nothing to do with the spirit of Ultima itself, because they are in fact more grief-proof than trammel, and I think most people here would agree that the non-risk play of trammel was what killed Ultima in the first place.

Sorry if I wasn't "forthright and transparent", it wasn't my intention not to be. I'm merely putting my opinion across on automated trammel events, which have absolutely nothing to do with the Ultima I was playing in 1999.

How many people do you actually know that only play UOSA in the risk free environments?
follow up question - who are they?

[Homie]

please bring back those events

i miss the wharf-ctf on tuesdays

It was entirely hypothetical. I don't actually go to events so I am not aware of who is there. Players can do this as their only source of making gold which is no different from having trammelised instances. No need to fight for spawns in game when there's always another one free

[BlackFoot]

well the point I was trying to get across is this line of reasoning based on all these players who

-only log in for events
-use events as their only source of income (which they dont need because they dont play the game)

is entirely fabricated/hypothetical and should stop being used as an excuse to remove events.

Somone who only logs in and plays during the events and then logs out? This will never affect anyone ever.
Now they have saved up silver and get themselves some fancy shoes. This doesnt matter because they are never going to ever leave the event rooms, so their fancy shoes wont affect anyone ever.

They may even sell their silver in the event room to somone who has gold. Now they have gold. Which they will never use because they dont leave the event room ever. Essentially this fabricated player is the perfect gold sink that was mentioned above. All the power to them and we need more of them....

These hypothetical players that are vampire on the lifeblood of the shard are not a good argument for removing events as they dont really exist. If they did exist they would be a positive addition to the server, a living breathing, changing with the economy gold sink.

down with events!!

make my silver worth 3x the current rate so i can sell it for over 3 million plz
