UO Second Age

Somebody buy it and be my new neighbor - I like to fight TG all day long!

As a new player on the shard, I have to say that the main problems I see with the shard have little to do with the player base. It's UO, people aren't nice, that's just the way it is. Someone brand new to UO will have a hard lesson to learn but once you understand that this isn't WoW you quickly learn how to deal with things like PKs and house looters.

My experiences here have for the most part been good. Someone generously allowed me to use one of their houses until I could get on my feet. People in general have been very generous and accomodating to me. The population on UOSA is 10x better than the last shard I played on although a little smaller, but that's ok.

The only real problem I see is the housing system. Allowing 5 houses per account when 3 accounts are allowed per IP is just plain stupid. Not to mention it seems like the rules of the shard such as 3 accounts per IP, afk resource gathering, etc aren't policed at all. These are the things that hurt a playerbase. 1 house should be allowed per account, so everyone get's 3 houses at their disposal. There is no reason to allow more than that.

Sorry to derail the thread, the keep looks nice, but sadly I can't afford it

Being able to own 5 houses on 1 account is era accurate. I had 5 houses on one account when i played back in the days. Btw. Keep is still for sale! Bump

"era accurate" has to be viewed in the right context also. We had to pay per account on a production shard which kept most people from having 3, 6 or 9 accounts. Here, accounts are free and emails are plenty which begs for abuse. New email = 5 house holder account = wrong. Since there isnt a monthly fee to keep individuals from having numerous accounts, houses should be limited to 1 per account. There needs to be some type of balance there.

My dog can have 3 accounts if he has his own email. How would Derrick know? No need to go through all that mess anyways, just change it to 1 house per account and solve it. Houses would open up for everyone.

Interested in your keep!

I could see two or three houses per account, giving people the opportunity to make towns and offer new people houses if they feel so inclined. However, having fifteen houses ir rediculous. I could see five houses/account if it was one account/IP. But it gets to be that there are no good spots left really if you have that many houses.

Im trying to sell this keep & not talk about era accuracy.. This thread is for selling.. not discussing what you feel.

u still accepting offers?

Great keep for great price.

Also- I used to feel exactly the same way about 15 houses being too much. Go find my posts/threads from 12 weeks ago. I felt even more strongly about it than the people here. What I didn't realize at the time was how much real estate opened up constantly as people quit, got banned, or got too many houses and forgot to refresh them. Go search the housing forums and see how many new houses went on the market dirt-cheap in the last 3 weeks. I placed a castle, a keep, and a brick just this morning. 15 houses per account is not an issue, helps with placing larger houses, and has been absolutely essential to expanding our themed player town and matching up our guild members with the right house for them at the right time...extra slots are essential for that. And don't forget that every house that is placed is money that is not liquid to be used for buying things via the forums or from vendors. System actually self-regulates much better than I thought (assuming people don't cheat with accounts, which they can do anyway regardless of how many homes per account).

will u accept a mill flat?

1.2 mill is asking price "advanced1"
