Hello players coming from the fizzling-pvp shards! This post is for you! 
I'd like to start by saying that I understand where you are coming from. It is not easy having played one "fighting style" in Ultima Online for several years and then coming to a completely new style that you aren't used to. I myself came from another type of shard from the beginning. I must however say that after playing here for quite some time now I've become very fond of this PvP-style, it is very fun and fast-phased. I'm pretty sure you will feel the same way after testing it out a bit more
I don't think that what you're doing is right tho. Trying to change the pilarstones of a successful UO server that is growing fast while most others are fading away does not really seem like a good idea. You also need to think about the players who has played here on this latest version of Imagine Nation for more than a year now, how would they feel if they macroed their characters for several months because they like this pvp-style and this shard, and then seeing it all be ripped away from them because some players came from another server and didn't like the current pvp-style. How would you feel if that were you?
There are other shards out there who has the fizzling style, shards that has a lot of people who likes that pvp-style and most likely chose that server because of that. I would recommend that if you do not like it here you should go there, not because we do not want you here, but because there you get the fizzling style you want, and there no other people are affected by it.
Before you go tho I'd strongly recommend that you try this PvP-style out for at least a couple of weeks. Imagine Nation has used and balanced it over more than 10 years, and many people have loved it through all this time. I think you may be one of them, you just need to try it out some more. I actually believe that once you've tested it for a while longer you'll be thinking "why didn't I come here sooner?"
So what I'm trying to say is pretty much this:
Small balance-changes are good, but changes that alters the whole foundation of Imagine Nation are not, according to me. This PvP is great, just different, give it time and you'll love it too, if you need some advice look me up in the game and I'll teach you how to fight here
