I think it would be a great idea (clearly), and if people are still concerned that people will only log on for them, they could be weekly during prime playing hours but random. Also, if people are concerned about pvpers reaping the benefits too much we could lower the rewards for the weekly tournaments.


So, basically, why not? ^^ :D

the events cant possible be making play less. it has to have an opposite effect.

the pvmers dont care if us pvpers aren't playing anyways.

I gota say im strongly agaisnt it. Everytime the CTF message pops up we just sigh because pvp basically stops for 20 minutes and usually everyone logs after its over. The same goes with tournys, you'll have people that log on for the toruny, win, and log off claiming they are the greatest thing to ever touch UO. Meanwhile the random field pvp is at a stall because people focus more on dueling so they can win the tournys. The only solution I see is to make all the ladders field rules, so pvpers dont sit around and duel all day. This also will control discriminating agaisnt multiple templates other than the tank mage.

horrible idea from a horrible player.

and TG recalls from field pvp in even numbers anyways, noone cares about your lack of targets to recall from.

if you want itemized pvp, there are other games for you.

UO is itemized pvp, as is every MMO. Please refrain from brining your personal hate of TG into the thread, it is offtopic. If field isnt an option for the tournys, then at least disable unlimited stam pots, that in itself will open up a handful of viable templates other than the cookie cutter sword mage.

The last time that I checked stam pots wasn't allowed in tournaments... However, food is unlimited in this case. If you disable stam regeneration from food macers would clearly dominate shifting from one extreme to the next...

That is simply stupid and beyond retarded.
