I really like Galen's post. Between the character transfers/money/statics, that is what has made the economy so bad so soon.
And I especially like the part where he said about how we've all played previous shards, and people like me had to start from scratch.
I don't mind starting from scratch at all, but it's more than a little discouraging watching all these transfered guys running around with the upper hand.
Okay, I spoke my mind about that. Now suggestions:
Just let people afk resources. That will help a lot. It's not going to make the economy any worse than it is, it will just allow some people to catch up.
And I personally think you should be able to craft weapons out of colored ignots. Let's face it, that'd be sweet.
Make the carp and blacksmithing skill gain a little faster. I don't mind working hard to gain skills, but it's not worth the resources to do it. We have those select few GM Smiths, and it shouldn't all revolve around them.
Make armor have some actual effect on the game.
In the supplied tournaments. Give people a certain amount of potions and scrolls per fight, or something. Unlimited stuff is ridiculous, and it makes things boring. Scrolls are too big of a part of PvP. In fact, they're the biggest part. No one even casts Greater Heal or Flamestrike from their books anymore. It's made spell books pointless, and they should be far from pointless.
Excuse my language, but take out that stupid ass ****ing WOP command. My god, I've played soooo many servers in my time on UO. I played back when it was Greyworld, and I've never seen something as lame as the constant spamming of dumb shit. It's annoying, and uncalled for. All it does is lag and distract. People shouldn't need to out spam someone to win a duel.
That's all for now. If I have more, I'll post later.
