But we're not catering to anyone? They don't play here anymore and were banned or choose not to play and etc, why punish players for that?

And I don't know what you mean at all, if you don't like what te shard is like and it seems too "carebear" there are thousands of shards to choose from which do CATEr to your playstyle, whyn ot go to one of those? i'm not trying to be judgemental by honestly why not? And if it's good enough for them why is it not good enough for everyone else? Even fi the rule was too carebear and all that nonsense what does it matter? Taran made this shard to his vision and continues to do so, this is not the same UO you've played before.

If you don't like the vision why do you continue with it? If the shard did want to cater to a certain group(like rp servers and etc do) would you remain there and try to change everything to suit your needs or figure out that place isn't for you and cut your losses and go to a shard better suited for your needs?

I'm not trying to be sarcastic or factitious but i'd honestly like to know the logic that goes behind this thought process.
