just wanted to say ty

[sircharlestha3rd]

ty all for making uosa possible
ty gms for holding this shard together.
I hope it lasts forever speaking from the heart.
I hate all other shards and all there stupid rules.
This shard must be broadcasted and we need everyone's help to make sure we succeed.
All other shards are bs and are not era accurate.
we need to try to spread the word of this great shard w/ great staff to be everlasting.
I plan on making a nice size donation to the shard soon and hope others could do the same.
Uosa is the BEST shard imo and need to blow up once again.
F uof.
and all others..............
lets make it happen.
please........don't let this shard falter.
In the name of Richard Garriot.
Lets make it happen, vote, drink ale, and have a great time playing on THE best shard ever...............

ty...now, stop scamming people out of their stuff and more players will stick around...

Like what was said recently...the population count isn't the problem. The quality of the population IS.

People perhaps should take a good look in the mirror and how they conduct themselves in-game.

Sure, its fun to PK, but many have driven players off who eventually grew tired of the fact there's no escape from the regular patrols.

You may feel clever to scam someone. But your actions represent the entire server. Players leave here and tell their stories on other forums. Those stories mark this server.

And sure, it might be cool to cock-block at the IDOC by placing a small. But is that 12 hours you wasted to get 2x deed for a small really worth it, and is all that you have left in this game to enjoy, sitting around waiting for the decayed handouts of players you probably were partially responsible for their leaving?

And this obsessing over other servers, instead of worrying about them, encourage the staff here to inherit their ideas. There are some vibrant, dynamic (and growing in population) shards out there and instead of treating them like the enemy, learn from them. Implement some of their new ideas, and evolve as a shard. Because I will honestly say, after seeing one not-to-be-named particular shard's Halloween events, there's a lot of catch-up work to be done.

Can we get some other forms of advertisements? I see shards not even on the voting lists with somehow higher populations. I can vote on every website every day.. but that isn't advertising us enough.

[Menkaure]

I'm so tired of hearing its the quality of the population.
That's not it at all. There's so many good people who help this server and help new players its ridiculous. Here's the truth. This is a pre Trammy pvp/pk focused shard. Therefore new guys that don't know anyone that start here get pkd within hours, realize that it's "too hard" cause they are straight Trammy bitches and quit. There's a reason why uo went to trammel. There's a reason why the most popular mmorpgs out there that are "no loot," are the most popular and why the ones where pvp is dominant and especially the ones where you can loot are dying (like darkfall, mortal online etc) it's cause the majority of the mmorpg world doesn't like to die or pvp, they are pussies. Unfortunately for most of us that are still left here, we enjoy the risk, it's just we are the minority.

Your dog isn't smart enough. My Beagle has a 7x tank wizard and he runs this shit.

This is a pre Trammy pvp/pk focused shard.

This couldn't be farther from the truth. UOSA may make it easier for players to PvP and PK relative to servers that actually adhere to the UOR ruleset, Trammel included, but this does not mean that T2A or UOSA is focused on these two things. It is abundantly clear that during the era, the ability to PK and the resulting tension were an integral part of the player driven world, but the world was far more than PKing and PvP, with everything else coming a distant second. The same is true, as much as we can manage it, here on UOSA.

You missed my point and took what I said completely the wrong way.
My only point that since this IS a pre trammel shard, pvp/pking is focused more thats all. I'm not saying uosa IS all about those 2 things. But you can't deny the fact that the ruleset of this time period favors more of a murderer than, say, a tamer or pvmer then uor with trammel did. Where in trammel they are safe from any risk, here its nothing but risk.

[Kaivan]

I just pointed out that UOSA makes PKing easier to do than a server that adheres to a UOR ruleset. Your statement, whether intended or not, doesn't imply that there is a shift that makes PKing easier, but explicitly states that UOSA is all about PKing and PvP (e.g. focused on). I'm just pointing out that a generalization like that is far from accurate.

[Abyz]

I'd like to say TY as well.... This is the only ruleset I have any desire to play.

We should still have automated events, though. Her her

Man, I wasnt trying to generalize anything, or say that UOSA is all about pking and pvp.
What I am trying to say that the Second Age era IS more pk/pvp friendly then any era after it.
