(I may still steal your color... be best if you didn't tick me off.)

you didn't notice?

when was the last time i called you names? weeks ago? when you snatch my first orn i try to tame?

and don't call me names either, go ahead take the colour for all i care. i was just trying to sway the topic off to cool off the heat. obviously i failed, at least i tried.

"(I may still steal your color... be best if you didn't tick me off.)" is this a threat?

Does anyone has idea's how to obtain more players and how to interact in game more with eachother?

This is a 24/7 UO shard, wich should be "guarded" 24/7 by Gamemasters
What I mean about this, the gamemasters should not only help people with items or housing or bugs, but also try to lure people into "quests/party killing" (entirely for fun etc.)

The Pits.. Its a good idea to have a pits where people can meet eachother, but the stupid thing about the pits is that trading is not possible. So we have the Vendor Mall..My opinion about a Vendor Mall : It is not social at all! People do not interact anymore with eachother. Try to sell weapons or potions in town,, you simply get ignored 9 out of 10.

The playerbase.. I started an movie competition, and hardly anyone is responding or interested, the reason I tried to start a competition is to try to get more people on this shard.. but this looks like a failed mission for me..
I thought by having a really cool movie(commercial) on Youtube, maybe people would be interested in joining IN-X, but the problem is that we dont have an really good movie(yet)

The forums.. they look boring and for the last 24hours alsmost nobody posted anything in the General forums.. If you are active in game you should also post sometimes on the forums, just to keep things alive

The pvp/2vs2 games.. They are fun indeed.. for "enhanced" players.. for new people it is a NO GO area... I think that there should be a different type of game to lure people from all level of skills into! How about a massive Hunt just outside town without PVP or looting eachother is a perfect idea! This way people interact more with eachother, and then people are less bored!



These were my complaints and tips.. feel free to flame or to comment.. just dont wait to long.. because I have been thinking about leaving to...

as far as the first para about the gamemaster luring people into doing more quests/partying killing I think thats a very good idea.

The Pits: I actually really like the idea of a vendor mall cus then i dont have to worry about yelling out what im selling its annoying and spamming. I however do agree that it makes things less social in the pits but i believe there can be another solution to compensate for that.

I do think there should be more things for newbies as well because if you have previosly played uo you need more incentive as many shards fail and its suckey to start over again. If it can be made fun as a newbie charac instead of the main focus on gaining skills it can lead to a even bigger attraction to the shard.

There are many ideas being discussed by the staff right now. As we've mentioned our first priority at the moment is finishing the weapon quests. When those are done we will work on a bigger idea to increase interaction.

[imported_Lederoil]

I hate the whole idea of the vendor mall... As Urb Nri said, you don't even know who's selling what. I'm not sure if I'd like if you'd be able to trade in pits, but, Odium claims that the reason you aren't able to trade in pits is that Taran, other staff and some players wants people to trade and interact in the world... If that's true, then why the hell do you make a vendor mall? I'd say remove the vendor mall, let people trade in the pits.. At least we get people interacting with the actual people who sell the items. And yes, there would still be vendors, but shops in the world is so much more fun than placing your vendor on a tile in a "vendor mall".

[imported_Odium]

personal opinion teh problem is not the vendor mall (as some ppl have stated it is actually good)
the problem was not pits.

personal opinion we do not want to shot us in teh foot again, removing vendor mall would not increase the interaction, people can interact and give ppl hints towards their vendor as good as they can if its in a house. id say it would haev same effect as everything else. trading could be allowed in pits witout removign vendor mall if thats teh main issue.

But i do actually understand what you are saying and i and ginz did for not a so long time ago a new solution however the conept did not make it trhough , and otehr solutions are being discussed. sorry led if i came out harsh.. i was still in "rage" mode from a other discussion

That's a lot of arguing over "Spawn-stealing." I imagine Rabbi is like Tom Cruise, riding on horse trying to stake is claim in the new West.

Honestly, a lot of people here PVP, and interaction for them is fighting. PVPers are basically single-minded. They're like the big dumb jocks who fail math, but excel in P.E.

Player interaction will come when more come. You all know people, or people like you- that's why you're friends. Try to get them to play. Try to bring others back. The GMs shouldn't have to do EVERYTHING to keep this place running. They maintain it, script, debug, and so on..we just play on it. Sometimes we vote, the rest of the time we ***** and complain.

So, back to arguing over someone stealing "your" spawn ( by the way, this is a very homosexual argument and beret shouldn't even be allowed to type)?

Petty displays of shit like that is what keeps people away, and what helped shut the place down in the first instance. Nothing will ever be enough, nor will you ever get off your ass to help.

Dur, no wonder nothing changes.

Well, talking about the Vendor Mall, I think it's bad for the shard... what ppl always complain about? Interactivity? Action? Low RPing?

If we use the normal method of the UO's Vendor System and create a house to put vendors, I think we can get:

-More interactivity, since the shop owner need to show people that his/her shop exists;
-More action, since it'll make people go outside guards protection where s/he can be pked (for this I think the PK System should be changed so ppl cant abuse and pk-wait until blue-pk...);
-More RP, since you can create nice shops, decorating it and make people walk around looking for what s/he wants;
-Some places will be more valuable to set your shop, so it'll improve a new economy as ppl can sell their places(I think this will work better when the playerbase grow).

But it need some changes like statics in guarded areas should not be allowed to have Vendors, and of course Ministry will hate it and complain a lot and the staff will never change this...
Since Vendors can be placed in guarded-area statics, ppl will go there instead of go out protection and the action that you want will be gone.

this thread and threads like these wont cease unless locked as soon as they become bullshit because everyone thinks they need the last word wether it be repeaiting something someone else said or trying to be the bigger better person and trying to stop it (exactly like im doing right now, lol i dont claim to be perfect) bascially if you want these threads to stop you get a moderator who checks the forums once in awhile and your all gonna say they need to dedicate there life to it but they really dont this thread has been active for longer then 24hrs and im betting 90% of the people who look at these forums will have gone online for some reason in the past 24hrs.

i dont think it would be to much work since only this thread seems to have caused a problem in that time span, so my first point is that would the next person with the privs to do so please lock this thread and secondly can we get someone to check on these forums at least once every 24 hrs
