Lol,in response to your opinion on the first and second point i mentioned.

1.
For the armors, As you havent been here as long as others, you wouldnt know the depth of how ingots are flooded all over the world. you wouldnt know how many people have 40k+ of the same ingot in their bank, making certain armors useless and flooded. There needs to be an addition to the armors we have, and we need to substitute them by removing other armors that have lost value.

By doing this, you will have the crafters who feel like they have everything, return and want to mine these newer armors and create some sort of market and economy boost. You're too tied up over the fact that too much color is bad and isnt a good look. IF you think thats true, why dont you go buy yourself a black/white computer screen and stop complaining? I answered you this way because of your "smart" comments.

There's no harm in color, and diablo is a shit game, way too repetitive, thank you though.

Having new ride colors will be benifitial because I know when I used to play years back one of the things i enjoyed most was matching my ride with the armor/tubs I had. I used to still play the same way, but I enjoyed to kill in "style" seems to me you only wear black and white IRL. matching is fun all on its own.

Thats like waking up one morning and altering between 3 colors and saying thats enough for me. you arent open minded enough, and again are stuck behind this "rainbow kiddy" style of shard this can turn into, when that isnt the case at all.

Having newer colored rides, armor matching, will have people interested in purchasing new rides and collecting them aswell, what ever floats your boat. in my case, I would buy them to match up and suit to gank. Why run around looking so plain when you can have different styles?

also, your point makes no sense. your saying my idea of having color is childish and isnt "uoish" and I should go play Diablo. Who is to say what "uo" is. UO is what you want it to be, its fully customizable and you can practically add or modify anything, and thats the beauty of it.

Also, another fact, are you trying to tell me swampdragons, bears, etc... are very realistic? I bet you would be against it, but I know many servers where players love these rides and enjoy using them, not that I want to implement it. So if a shard as successful as UO gamers, has these functions, has newer atire like chinese type clothing n stuff, than I believe you're very close minded.

Im not trying to start an arguement here, Im just stating a fact that having newer color rides, and making certain armors discontinued and introducing new ones isnt something to be worried about.

Why are there over 100 color tubs, and 10 color rides?? who the hell wants to ride around on a brown horse when their wearing limerock clothing?? Im not trying to make this a fashion show, but having some fashion involved wouldnt be such a bad idea. would cause sales of tubs, rides, and armors... that seems to me like a good way of helping out the economies current status, wouldnt you think?

I'm glad you find my opinion funny and I'm sure you're really laughing out loud but the fact is what you think the server needs is exactly that. What YOU think it needs. To each his/her own. I personally feel the gripe about colors is ridiculous and trivial. If things need to get done around here I really doubt that is on the top of anyone's list. You make mention of UO is whatever you want it to be. Sound very zen of you but the fact is UO is what the Admin wants it to be and like I was made to understand it was an homage to UO back in the early days (Sphere .51a). It that sense it is what it's advertised as. UO Gamers : Hybrid is about as modern of a take on the game as it gets which again makes the comparison apples and oranges.

As far as Mr Smoke is concerned, I never mentioned my opinion is more important that yours or I have seniority (you really need to buy a dictionary). But again you pretty much contradicted yourself. You say that this server is dying but you then bring up the fact that it is indeed cyclical as the population raises and falls over time. If you've seen this happen over time what makes this the time the server is really going to "die"? Also I'm glad you're a philanthropic person when it comes to virtual goods, I applaud your graciousness but again I didn't question your character, just your reasoning. You giving to the poor noobs of the shard doesn't make me disagree with your opinions any less. And you mentioned the stockpiling of ingots and gold and such, but has anyone brought up the possibility of a server wipe perhaps? Cant complain about an economy being screwed up when everyone starts with nothing. But again what does that really accomplish? In time the same people will hoard the same number of items and all will be as it is now. It appears to me you have a gripe with basic human nature, in this case greed.

This is my last post regarding this subject because if I really wanted to dissect this any further I could pick apart the flawed logic and contradictions all day. Let me just end it with the fact that I'm happy with this server so far. I just wish more people felt the same way and just played instead of complained. No shard is perfect and as Kamos pointed out the reason this game succeeds or fails is not the colors or the animals or the uniquely named/colored weapons but the community. And I can already predict what you (smoke, silverwolf) are going to say and it's along the lines of they are leaving because of the issues you brought up. Well the fact is those are your gripes, not everyone else's. People leave for a great variety of reasons and most of the time is just because they are sick of the game itself.
