Poll: Events

[Endecent]

I do get it, and as I said before just because 300 unique IP's are logged on to IRC does not mean that 300 people are online playing. It means 300 people logged on to IRC.

P.S.

I voted yes.

No, I don't think you do get it: The IRC command lets you know how many people are IN-GAME (Both Unique IP's, and Players in game)
NOT how many people are logged into IRC..

I agree with Clyde however, The timing schedule doesn't help those who only play at "peak" times enjoy any events.

Now I get it, thanks Endecent. If more people were like you and provided useful information to educate people instead of posting with the sole intent of making others feel bad this forum and the world at large would be a much better place!


Cheers buddy.

2 events per type per week, one in the morning one in the evening (Server Time), should be the maximum. Currently there are far too many automated events, and my suggestion accounts for the fact that trammelites like ocho, clyde, spanky etc. would complain all day if we took them all away. If they want to test their skills once per week in front of all the other plebs that care about 1v1, 2v2 etc rankings go ahead, just stop spamming in game and irc with all the messages and get people back to playing UO the way the UO Gods intended.

I'm not talking about just tournaments here...I'm talking about ctf, double dom, bagball, FFA, etc. If i cared about rankings i would have stuck with the same char in every event i've joined...fact is i have gone through probably 10 different chars in the ranking system. Dont care. I spend the vast majority of my time either fielding or farming, but it's obvious that events bring attraction to the shard. You know what, nevermind. I've noticed most of the people complaining or disagreeing are the one's who suck and lose most of the time anyway. It's not about that, but that seems to be your only arguements.

My compromise doesn't target just tournaments, I think that they should either be reduced down to so few that they are an incentive to play but not the sole reason that people only show up in game for them. And before you make the assumption that the people against reforming the event system are inherently bad at them you should come see my bagball/survival game trophy collection.
