I'm not saying it because of a lack of devs, I'm saying it in part because like smoke said it will affect the pvp, and sphere was all about straight forward stuff, right? Adding bonuses to armors would make us lean towards an OSI style shard and next thing you know people will be asking to add insurance so they can't lose their items.

As for having to hunt for resources, it's a great concept but as it is we have people who don't want to macro 1 week to play here. Do you think people will want to hunt a monster for 30 minutes or 1 hour to get 5 black diamond ingots?

As for the pvp, have you REALLY been pvping? I don't think you have so you can't give a well informed opinion about it until you do. It's like me saying baseball sucks but I've never played it or watched more then 2 games a year.




BTW, I know scarecrow would want to see Sieken armor (a dark blue/purplish armor) and I do too actually!

I have PvPed on this shard well over 10 times, this does not make me a seasoned veteran and once I actually made it passed the first round in a tournament!!1! I understand the concept of the PvP style here. I think the biggest problem that I see (my opinion don't flame) is that everyone still refers to things as "XUO" style or "IN" style or now "OSI" style, why not stop labeling things and just go with the flow of RunUO (been reading up on it) which is extremely customizeable and do just that. Don't try to be like OSI or XUO just try to be creative. I don't think by adding mage armor or warrior shields (just off top of head) is going to screw up PvP I think it would make it more interesting.

I'm going to get flamed for this but here it goes.

The simple fact that it takes less then a week to get a guy ready to PvP with the PvP stone sort of shows how "simple" the PvP is here. You need to pick Tactics, Healing, Magery from the stone then macro anatomy and fight skeletons with a skinning blade till you've GMed swordsmanship. Then if you want to go extra far you can walk on fire fields till your magic resist is up. I mean I think (purely MY opinion) it would be cool if there were items out there that made it possible if you wanted to be pure mage you get like 140 intelligence with mage leather armor and scroll your way to a victory and since you would have to be wearing Low AR you would obviously have to move alot to avoid getting hit by a bardiche or war fork making you harder to hit which open doors for an archer in PvP seeing as Low AR is easy target for Heavy X-Bow. Then allowing those items would open up possibilities for pretty cool group battles once we got alot more players. I'm just saying that keeping it simple gets boring. And there is no way you can tell me that this PvP isn't simple.

Bah I don't even know why I let it get to this. I blame this on you Eighty! You get blamed for everything else!
