Why allow pure grief play like this?

Simple.. era accuracy

Griefing the entire shard like this wouldn't have been allowed in era.

I don't think any of it was meant as grief. It's just a bunch of people afraid they won't be able to stable, so they don't unstable.

Its pretty safe to say the only people hurt by this are farming tamers.

Exactly. Thank you son.

Any newbie looking to make some gold to get started via crafting will want a packhorse to help with carrying their bows/ore/etc. Oh look, they saved up that 700g to afford one and now they can't even stable it. Welcome to UOSA, GG.

People are filling stables with bunnies, cats, dogs and useless stuff.

So I recently purchased a UO T2A Playguide out of curiosity, and I noticed something interesting in it: Must've happened a few times for the author to make note of it.

Let's not get off topic. I want to stable my 40 dragons asap.

I just claimed 4 rats and stabled 2 dragons....someone comes out of hiding screaming CAUGHT YOU!

Spamming it at me lol.

You should probably stop filling up the stables then.

I should buy more spots...from the sounds of it.

Guardian, Ill give you two or three free spots in Serp Hold near the bank.

Silly prodigy got outsmarted by the orcs. And if I was a little less of a noob I woulda stole more than 3 spots out from under him when he brought his horde of dragons out. Oh well, next time ill do better.

You want em?

Guess it is era accurate..

Stop complaining!

This is just like the housing problem. Gotta buy bigger houses from players because the hoard spots.

Fix that if you were to fix this.

Or if you need stable spots just macro near the stable with rats saying "stable" repeatedlly :-p

I agree with above posts regarding most players as filling spots with other animals so that they have spots for their pets when they bring them back.

As far as people "griefing" by filling stables up, the neverending bump that this post gets functions as a daily reminder for characters to hop and and try stacking more rats in the stables. Quit making a big deal about it and maybe it will die down. I'm sure that the constant bitching is helping 0%.

I will agree with Tek. If this happened on live OSI server people would bitch and GMS/Devs would accommodate them.

Probably some poor sap would have been banned too.

Yet that pattern got us to UO:R. AKA the giant hole in the middle of the fucking sandbox, just saying.

Just to keep reiterating because it gets lost...

The big reasons there are a shortage of stable spots is because the spawn rate is inaccurate and way to fast. I.E. its too easy to get tons of wyrms, mares, and to a lesser extent, dragons.

In addition, we don't have enough players here to camp those spawns. In a production server it wasn't esay to tame a dragon because as soon as you started someone came about to PK you, kill the dragon, etc. Or maybe you went to get a dragon and all of the spawns were taken. Here, if you log in at the right time of the day you can tame and hunt forever with no interruption.
