I'm sorry but no matter how much we put in to the server it won't prevent people trying other video games, UO is 13 years old, D3 is the newest shiniest game around, people will go and play it, what we hope is that they come back afterwards, expecting people not to try it is naive.
Also I'm afraid RL does get in the way, if you're working 9 hours a day including most weekends, have to spend time with your girl and also have other boring things to do (bills, cleaning, shopping etc. etc.) then sometimes you have to say - at this point in my life there is no time for UO - not least of all because even I have other interests... watching Euro 2012, playing tennis, seeing my friends etc.
Sorry if you have a life that means UO is more important, but you shouldn't sacrifice things that are important for UO, UO is there for when you have time for it, that's all it is. Remember, players are players, and staff are also players, they are just volunteers, staffing is not a job and you can't expect people to treat it with that sort of importance, sorry.
