The IN community has learned first hand that if skill gain is too easy on a shard with no skill cap, people can too quickly become self-sufficient and the economy (a central feature of UO - a feature that shouldn't readily be omitted) can go to crap.

cole i usually like your replys but i have to disagree here. i like being self-sufficient. i try to be as self-sufficient irl as i can and that reflects ingame, i have few but trusted good friends and i imagine that's true of most XUO's. To try and FORCE dependency is a concept i personally think will fail.

I don't care what anybody thinks or tries to do with an economy, the truth is somebody's gonna find a way to make more than the next guy. then somebody's gonna cry foul. besides most shards are not up long enough to truely allow an economy to delvolpe

The economy maintained some level of balance on XUO due to the lazyness or the dislike of training skills (as easy as they may have been compared to INR) or because they didn't give a shit about crafting and just wanted to pvp so when they needed a craftable, they bought it.

If this is the case then why is only 40% of the crafting skill being allowed? If so very few of us lazy bastards bothered to avail ourselves of the easy skill gain then why bother? As one of the FEW crafters on XUO I am going to lose 60% of my crafting skils (which i will not bother to regain, not again) i would like to know. Besides whats wrong with buying it?? all this economy based forced interaction between crafters and noncrafters makes me wonder, where is this going to occur??? OMG could it be the pits??? the point is it forced.

If Iners are not willing to help XUOers in any way, then im done here.

bullcrap! where's your pride? you need help?? i don't think so. i don't buy it, but i acknowledge your postureing. you'll be here just like all the others.

......... to bring the shard together, to make the two communities dependent on one another. well i dont ... see that happening ........ xuo people can stand on their own.....

Great point!!!
i think one of the basic premises feuling this merge is very wrong in concept, roleplayers and pv_er's are like oil and water they seem to have different outlooks. the roleplayers relie on thier community to supply each others needs (read that dependent), where the pv_er's are more self-sufficient or relie on each other (read that independent). These are basic personality characteristics which probably account for the fact that some played on XUO and some on INR in the first place. To try to force a self-sufficient person into a forced economy by a skills setback and then limiting thier ability to maximise thier skills won't work. It is my understanding that skill gain will beharder on INX than XUO, right?

you dont like it, shove it

i like your sprite but i don't buy your sediment.
