[Eighty Swords]

UO interests me enough, I dont need incentive to login. The hard work the staff has done to the shard to make it more interesting such as adding things to craft systems and fixing spawns and adding mobs is good enough for me.

That's great for you but unfortunately there are a lot of people that are missing a reason to log in and that's what I'm trying to find a solution to here...



In response to Token's points...


1. I don't see that happening and to be honest I think it does more good then harm. Too many people would leave their PC's on 24/7 and become ridiculously rich and then when someone who doesn't do that tries to make money by selling ores they won't get much profit since there's so much available so it has a low selling point. Only way to get around this is to have a staff manually check people at random and they get jailed for being caught. Unfortunately the staff are busy with IRL and other things so there's not enough time for them to check up on everyone.
2. It's cool that the world isn't empty, but to some degree these monsters are useless and they may be contributing in some way to the lag we get with higher player count. Less for the server to run means better for us right?
3. Why do people NEED to be able to tame sheep? There are other ways to get cotton...
4. Agreed.
5. Agreed.
6. Personally I don't feel there are too many houses, and especially since we're not tons of players right now I don't think it's as pressing as an issue. You can't tell me 5 people can't find an area to put a house...
7. Maybe for pvp & pvm skills, but leave crafting and gathering skills as they are
8. Smoke or Luda started a good thread about adding a few types of armors or putting some armors on rotation. I guess nobody liked it, or did the thread get buried in flames?
9. Well they just finished re-balancing the weapons so maybe now we can slowly add a few new ones
10. Agreed.


I think the only way we can improve and get players here is by adding or changing the features they want to see. It's great for the staff to have a general direction they want to take the shard in, but it's got to be able to adapt to what the players want. Keep the ideas coming everyone! I'm sure we can find some things to bring more players!
