I Understand your reasoning behind Feeling that Not having everyone start with the same thing as a blow to the economy but you have to also understand this point...

Without these transfers there would be no population to have a economy. I know I myself would not be here if it wasn't for my transfers and I know, Modestly, alot of others who would not either. This world was a "Merge" and the population (Who for the most part was waiting quiet patiently) was promised certain things to have them here.

I personally Don't feel that the transfer of skills is affecting the unbalanced economy we're experienceing right now however. More or less its just that like any new UO shard, it takes some time for the admins to balance things out... and every new "Bug" that is found and exploited knocks the economy away that much more to becoming balanced.

Also, If this was 7-10 years ago, i would be right beside you saying how hard the skill raises SHOULD be... However... Come on... who HASN'T GM'ed all these skills at least once, on whatever shard in thier life. The few friends that I play with on this server IRL.. we don't call this IN:X, we call it "Retirement UO"... because we came here saying "Alright.... Its a Step from Imagine Nation. (where we're from personally) We'll give it a try.. But we've played so long.. so much.... We just wana kick back, hang out with old friends, and enjoy the game. XUO Got their PvP, hey, thats cool, we were always crafters and RPer anyway. We're Greatful to be playing with them and have them here for the PlayerBase Boost. But to make everything so Difficult to gain isn't going to help our server or cause out one bit, but in contrast will detur newer players from even trying....
