There isn't any profit if you increase any craft skill. You always have to pay money unless you gather all the resources. Which means lots of time.
I have asked this several times myself, and personally don't see what's so wrong about them. However I will venture a guess and say they weren't a part of sphere so we don't have them. Note, I've never played a true sphere server so I don't know that for sure, and remember that IN:X is attempting to be a sphere replica.

People dont usually like to spend 4-5 hours to tame a bs ride which can be killed in 30 seconds.
Because rides aren't meant to be allies, they're a tool to get around faster. What will you ask for next, evo dragons that you can tell to attack players and kill them in 1 second?
JuM Wrote:1. on IN1 players were cant cast spells while holding any item (weapon,shield etc) which enables arm/disarm macro in pvp and it gives you so much stress + adrenaline. Also it forces people to wear armor and weapons as much as rare because it chanalize you to fight with weapon to till make a nice hit. but in INX you dont need to drop any weapon because you can cast anything while paralized. So Paralize is useless except pins down the running man in INX.
If you activate the [cant cast while holding stuff] script it can bring life to economy and pvp.
i dont think it will effect the XUO player so much.
Some third party tools like Razor have an option you can enable to un-equip weapons before casting. I don't see how this will make for a better economy or make the pvp better... I am getting the impression that you haven't tried the pvp very much and are talking out of your ass right now...
Have you ever read a book, watched a movie, or played a game other then UO?
In Lord of the Rings Gandalf uses a staff. You don't see him drop it when he's going to cast a spell...
When I was younger I read books from the Dragon Lance series. One trilogy was in the series was about two twins. One was a very powerful wizard named Raistlin who's health got worse and worse as he casted spells, and his twin Camaron was a huge warrior. Like Gandalf, Raistlin also used a big staff and if I remember right he couldn't cast spells at all if he wasn't holding his staff.
A recent video game that came out (Dragons Age) has people that can cast spells while they hold items. In games like Diablo and Diablo 2 you can also carry items while casting spells.
Out of all the games, books, movies, and TV shows I know, UO is the first I've ever encountered where you can't hold anything when you cast a spell. Why is it such a big issue for you that this should have to change? I seriously don't see this bringing in more players.
JuM, it sounds to me like you're trying to get back IN:R or some other shard you played years ago and not improve on IN:X. Remember that IN:X caters to two types of players and all your suggestions are going against one group of those players.

no roleplay not good for pvp and then if you add "3 naked man casting spell on you" to this example. it goes to +no economy
Using .wop Kal Vas Flam and other power words is just like lieing to someone. You tell them you think they have nice shoes but when they leave the room you tell your friends "what a loser, did you see his ugly *ss shoes?"
If you don't like that analogy, did you ever say something when you meant to say something else, or did you ever say something you were thinking but didn't mean to say it?
Or what about a few hundred years ago... people would ride a horse, swing their swords and scream at people. That was real world war. Riding a horse and swinging a sword doesn't mean you can't talk and vice versa.
Stop taking up issues with the core and fundamental aspects of something you clearly don't understand.
There are really quite a few ideas here that are worth building on.
Having 3 pouches in your BP and casting magic trap on them now and again is a cheap price to survive
