Agree, agree, agree. There needs to be a vocal community of people pushing for this kind of change on these forums. being forced to use brokers or risk getting scammed is just plain stupid.
Take note that the people who oppose a change like this the most are brokers themselves, and consequently, among the richest and most powerful(socially) on the server.
Seems like a coincidence, eh?

[For the record staff, I believe staff should keep well clear of inter-personal disputes which do not amount to exploiting the game.
Otherwise what exactly are you? A judge? Do you determine all matters arising from disputes between people?
No, you help people who are stuck in game and keep quiet, otherwise you are overstepping the mark- and probably connected with Sandro's scam.
I didn't notice this post because I was hasty, but good god man, shut up. You aren't the boss of the staff and it's their friggin choice what they do and do not intercede in.
Some of you people are just screaming for the right to be a scamming little turd that takes advantage of a 12 year old system that CLEARLY needs a touch up. How about the staff does the exact opposite of what you say simply to prove that they don't have to listen to ignorant presumptuous fools like you.

What an epic display of trolling.
I love people like Mens-Rea who publicly make an ass out of themselves. How did I even get drug into the scammer label in the first place? I simply pointed out that you can't read worth a f*ck.
;/ sorry but you sir are a tool

I currently have 445k to my name. I started off on this server about 10 days ago and have been farming like mad.
I work really hard IRL and between my work and my 2 kids I don't get to play a lot.
Are you a no-life or a man responsible for his family ?

Same story, different game. Put in mechanics that cater to griefers and lowlifes and you'll get a playerbase filled with "unsavory people" (edited for Derrick). This is also why Darkfall is going down the toilet. The bottom-feeders just rob and grief people until they have no desire to log in anymore and the playerbase just dwindles over time. Not only are they getting griefed and robbed, but then they realize that 9.9/10 people that are playing the same game with them are these types of people. They have no new people to meet and play the game with because everyone is a complete "turd" (edited for Derrick) looking to ruin someones good time. They are like a virus on the server and they are allowed to run rampant until everything is destroyed and no one is left playing anymore. I guess this is more apparent in Darkfall but it still pertains to UOSA in some respects.
FRRREEEEDDDDOOOMMMMM!
P.S. - Have 2 second hally swings been fixed yet? Me and my friends are waiting for this fix to go in before we start playing again. Just curious.

(6:14:01 PM): Ahoy. I saw your post on UOSA forums regarding a tower. I have one too many and I will unload it for a good price.
(6:14:01 PM): Well if you're interested, let me know. It's not far from Vesper. The lowest I'd go would be tower deed plus two smalls which ends up around 520k. That's actually quite a bargain but I have plenty of gold and don't need to get greedy.
MikeN1c3 6:15 pm
(6:15:12 PM): Hi how are you, I am interested however I currently have 445k to my name. I started off on this server about 10 days ago and have been farming like mad. I have off of work tomorrow so I will work hard in the next few hours to get the rest if thats okay with you.
(6:15:34 PM): I can AIM you when I have the gold
aku1974 6:16 pm

aku1974 11:36 pm
(11:36:57 PM): To be honest with you, that amount would be fine. It's not that I'm in a hurry. I just work most of the day tmo. You're rather new and I have a soft spot for new players.
MikeN1c3 11:37 pm
(11:37:40 PM): Wow thank you and I can still pay you the money I acually insist I pay you it
aku1974 11:38 pm
(11:38:37 PM): If you insist. You can just give me tower deed and small deed and I will transfer it over. If you feel the need to pay me another small deed, I'm not gonna argue with you lol.

(12:01:43 AM): Your offline but thanks man I appriciate that. I work really hard IRL and between my work and my 2 kids I don't get to play a lot. This server was my shot back at old UO and now you've ruined that for me. That was everything I had. Thanks =/
I think the fact that there is no house trading gump is an outrage. Trust other players? That obviously doesn't work. Now a month of my time has been wasted on a server I actually love and enjoy. And there is nothing a game moderator will do.
I know it's been 5 years. But can I have all your stuff?

Necro'ing this post could be beneficial as a good history lesson.
2010 and those next few years were the golden years for UOSA's population. But a primary reason many either quit UO all together or went elsewhere wasn't due to game mechanics or the staff, but the quality of the core population. The "deal with it/learn from it/real men play Felucca" crowd.
Many came back to Ultima Online for a bit of nostalgia, allowing them return to an earlier period in their lives that likely also provided a bit more free time. They discovered they didn't have the free time they once did, so the time invested and the things earned meant a bit more to the player. Once they got scammed or pk'ed it stung a bit more. Some just quit, others at least posted (sometimes in epic ragequit fashion) before their departure only to be insulted by certain no-life veterans that seemingly (<-- see what I did there) got off on an unfriendly play style.
For a few years we witnessed the phase of denial as people insisted it was just the "time of year" and that "come [insert season or month here] things will pick up again" yet IDOCs were in abundance and the numbers were heading south.
So here we are today, Ultima diehards have become a dying breed. Nothing the devs can/are going to do will attract new players, it falls upon the tiny player base that remains here.
