The whole silver thing to me is totally era inaccurate in itself. If there was another CUB that allowed for the purchasing of an IBD, I suppose that would make sense. Is there really a reason for it though? I thought that the original CUB back in 99 or whenever was designed to eliminate pixels and reduce lag--is that a problem here?

Catering to the population that already controls the vast majority of the silver distribution (and all the current rewards that go along with it)is something I'm against. If there was a system in place that would reward all players who have the resources to put forth the required effort, then I would be more agreeable. The secondage economy already leans too heavy towards the buying and selling of silver and silver related items considering silver didn't even exist during this era.

Clearly I wasn't around for the first CUB (I'm only assuming there was one based on the previous posts). I view the CUB as more of an event, rather than a mechanic thats trying to be emulated. Rather than have another CUB, maybe having a veteran reward system in place that includes item bless deeds would be a better approach. Maybe rewarding players based on their time playing this shard, rather than their playstyle would make more sense--dunno--just throwing it out there if these item bless deeds are just that important to folks.

yea give us vets some reward for beeing loyal for years, idc if its only something u can lock down in your house or make it non tradeable problem solved.

+ yea meatron there was only one CUB but we also already had UOR era by now so we pretty stuck now and need to start from the begining = new CUB = chance for newbies to get aswell some items = more players.
think about it.

Vets are the last people who need rewards. In addition, the rewards were for being a good customer...thus if anyone got rewards it should be those who donate and/or regularly donate. Of course, this would go against what the shard stands for and so it shouldn't happen either.

As for CUB. Derrick needs to make a public statement that it will never happen. Otherwise people are going to keep hording junk in hopes of cashing it into a CUB some day. Its counter productive. People are hoarding and making Britannia messy because they are expecting a CUB and want to be prepared. Its like telling someone that in five weeks you are gonna give them 10 cents for every can they pick up off the side of the road. They are going to just start hoarding cans and dumping them and making a mess so that in 5 weeks they can cash in.

This shard is way too small for free trammel item giveaways.

we stuck at the year 99 so we need to start from the begining based on events and holiday gifts.
do you want to see ppl collecting like 15cbds every christmas for like 3years? i dont think so.

TIME FOR TRUSTY OLD MENS REA TO INTRODUCE THE PRINCIPLE OF:

"GAME BREAKING DEVELOPMENT MISTAKE BY EA" CONCEPT

- DO NOT IMPLEMENT -

BAD IDEA.

I will leave this on the record for future reference.

I support Mens Rea in this respect.

Luckily, this statement was already given.
