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.
