Based upon your quote above, why not just put in Trammel? Because I can always simply opt to not go there, right?

Again, I see what you're trying to say, but your choice of words only make you come across more like a troll that just likes to argue for the sake of arguing than anything else.

UOSA promises me nothing except a near-perfect T2A replica which Derrick has thankfully accomplished creating and allows myself, you and others to play on his baby. One account or 10 accounts, I'll play here regardless. This thread and poll asked for feedback. I gave it. No need to attempt to continue to have a conversation with you.

Clearly, however, I get the impression you feel your view is "right" and all others are "wrong", instead of recognizing it as a matter of opinions.

If you interpret someone being pithy as being a troll then I'm not sure your opinion is worth much consideration in the first place.

Just a reminder to everyone...different emotions and things like sarcasm etc are very hard to recognize online in text.

How's that saying go? Something about arguing over the internet is like winning the Special Olympics...

Dobbs's only posting here cause the I'm the author of the thread, and he REALLY doesn't like me.

It's best to just ignore his troll attempts.

Ha, and it appears the man never even played OSI during the target date, so his opinion on the EA matter is honestly useless. Correct me if you did in fact play during T2A Dobb's.

I started on day one of retail release, Great Lakes. I quit three months after T2A's release and sold my main account for 600 bucks.

That enough Rose?

My posting in this thread has nothing to do with you, as you can see by clicking the "Blue Pk" thread.

This thread and topic like many before it are never going to see anything nearly resembling any consensus of opinion. There is a high diversity of players on UOSA and due to that, the suggestion of client and account limitations or changes is going to effect players, both in the way they play and psychologically, in severely different ways. There is no opinion that I can state on this subject in terms of the poll questions that i suspect any majority of the shard would agree with either, as such a decision on account limitations cannot be resolved by a popular vote.

I would like to make accounts on Second Age more accountable in general, something that we've tried to do with account registration, and something that we may expand on in the future.

In the meantime, I feel that this thread has degenerated too much to be productive and am locking it. Thanks much for the thoughts that have been posted in this thread, it does demonstrate that this is a complex issue.
