[Eighty Swords]

lol, what do you mean whens the last time i played? that has nothing to do with it, it's the same as it was when i stopped playing, still no ankhs... so that's not relavant.

It has everything to do with it... maybe since you last played here dungeons have been reworked to not be as crazy... maybe there are now res gates at certain points... maybe there are res gates at some entrances when there weren't ones there before... maybe there are ways to get out of a dungeon when you're stuck...

You not having logged in for 1-2 years is like someone trying to tell me Italy, France, Spain, etc aren't nice countries to go to when they were last there during WW2 when buildings were all crumbled and ruined from the war...

secondly, im speaking from my experience from past 10+ shards, unlike you i've played this game for over 7-8 years now and im speaking from previous experience.

so let me ask you this, how many shards have you played Eighty?

And by shards I mean with over 100 player base...

You're basically saying that because you played a game longer then me that makes my opinion irrelevant... If I played a game for 4-5 days maybe I'd agree with your logic, but I've played UO for 4-5 years so it's not exactly the first time I ride a horse...

If you played on 10 shards in 8 years that means you moved from one shard to another on average every 9-10 months... And you apparently played oh so many more so what, lets say you played 15 shards, that means every 6-7 months you moved to a new shard... Yea, they sure had something interesting to keep you there for so long...

You already know the answer but I'll humor you cause I'm a nice guy! I haven't played many shards at all, even if they didn't have 100+ people lets see... I played Jakko's XUO, TFA (again run by Jakko), Maka's XUO, some other shard a lot of people (including you) left Maka's XUO to play for a bit. I think it was a spin off of no*us or ng or something like that, and INX.

Of those shards TFA was the only NON sphere replica and the only one with 100+ people at the time I played them. The XUO's and that other shard I don't remember the name of right now were pvp based shards and they weren't super successful. From your reasoning and the shards I've played on we can see two things about the modern demand of what players want in UO;

1) we should remove pvp from INX since 3 out of 5 shards I played were PVP oriented and folded
2) we shouldn't be a sphere replica since 4 out of 5 shards I played were sphere and 3 out of 5 of these shards folded.

I'm sure if we check your statics of shards you played we'd see similar numbers...

And if you want to classify a shard by the number of players, let me ask you a question or two... How many cars have you driven? And by cars I mean cars with 600HP or more... How many women do you know? And by women I mean women with 36DD breasts... You're classifications and restrictions on what classifies a shard as a shard don't mean anything...

P.S: How many partners can you really hunt with when there's a player base of 25... you need to adapt to the shard the way it is now, create some ankhs for the time being, due to low player base, and when the shard grows, slowly remove the ankhs so people can be more dependant on each other...

I would say the majority of players on this shard have at least 1 friend here since I'm willing to bet most people heard of INX through a friend and not because it's ranked 7th on a voting site...

wait so eighty get your story stragiht you disagree with me but agree with amin when im agreeing with amin we are on the same point. so basically your just trying to argue that im wrong as usual when i actually said an example of what silverwolf was talking about

also how does silverwolfs gameplay time effect the game really?

It doesn't hurt you to read more then 2 lines of my messages smoke... if it does maybe you need glasses or should take a break from the computer and watching hockey on the TV... I said I agree with silverwolf that it's frustrating dieing and losing items and not figuring out how the hell to get out of a dungeon. I don't agree with having tons of ankhs in every dungeon. If you're a noob player go to noob dungeon because that's what it's there for.

And I asked him the last time he played, not how many hours he's been ingame. There's a big difference between the two, I hope you can understand it...
