If you're interested, it was put into place after a string of guild lootings where a few guilds were recruiting large numbers of players, then were looted for massive amounts of items. Granted, leaving lots of loot out in the open then inviting complete strangers to come paw at it makes me shake my head in disbelief.

However, large guilds such as these *do* help young players get started and that was the main reason behind the rule. To help young players, to protect people who are trying to contribute to the community, and to punish the griefers.

Hopefully you were shaking your head in disbelief at the judgement or lack thereof from the guild members who blindly recruited so many new players. The recruiting members made a choice to recruit.....and they got looted. Should they not be held responsible for their actions?

That's good that players want to help out newbies. I help people out a lot myself. However, 3k starting gold and 4 near-gm skills are generously given...along with access to a training area, all skills buyable to 40. You also have the 1k for voting. IMO thats more than any true uo player would need to actually get started.

And staff should make rules based on logic........although I cannot see any in this rule.
To me it seems staff is wiping the asses of those who expect IN to be a perfect place where nothing bad happens...or could happen to them. How boring is that?


Also, im not sure what that politician remark meant.....a stab at my intelligence?
