UO Second Age

It is exactly what which ruins the game for everyone else; having one account to macros off red, one account to play on your blue, one account to gate everywhere, and one account to ghost scout. All those things gut the community out of the game. Red stat loss becomes a joke. Your personal gate chauffeur makes you even more anti-social (get a friend to gate you) and the ghost scout is just ridiculous. These are the most important non-era accurate changes to be made, not the technical number crunching.

The whole point of the game was to make people interact, but Razor is making everyone into a one-man show. It isn't entirely about sweeping the dungeons, doing hit and runs and logging off.

Oh, and my wife has never had any intention of playing UO. What regulations/checks are in place to prevent people from lying and using the 4th account for themselves?

I'm 28 years old, I have a family and a job. I don't feel like depending on the community. If I had to go out and find 2 other people to macro resist or wrestling or swords with, or to go hunting with, by the time I found one of them I'd be going to bed.

Interaction is great. Dependency on others as a requirement is ridiculous. The game was designed to be able to be played and enjoyed alone, with just some aspects expected to require dependency (Order/Chaos, killing an Ancient Wyrm, Khaldun, etc.).

So because I share my home with a sibling who does occasionaly play, I shouldn't be allowed my 3 clients open?
