Shard Population nemesis; Vega

[Xanben]

Here's a shard that doesn't allow scamming or player killing. Perhaps you'd like it better.

This made me laugh so hard

Someone's got to play the villain.

Personally, I can't think of a more apt person than someone who uses Capitalist
as their forums username.

Captialism. The root of all evil.

All you who condone and make excuses for the scammers are even lower than the scammers themselves.

Yes, scamming is possible in UO, but conflating that with it being in any way right or acceptable is truly appalling. The lowlifes should be called out on their actions, and publicly.

(Not referring to Vega here. The OP only has 7 posts since he joined the forum on October 28th So I think we're obligated to give Vega the full benefit of the doubt here.)

Oh, and to say "everyone does it" is also a wicked distortion. I've been doing a ton of business on this shard recently and so far EVERYONE I HAVE DEALT WITH has been fair and honest and nobody once has tried to scam me. Players like Dyne, Fagabeefe, Bixby, and a slew of others. All straight up honest and pleasant in their dealings. And that's exactly the kind of culture we should be promoting instead of paving the way for cheats and scammers with retarded fkn platitudes about how "this is UO" and pretending like their actions are anything more than what they are, which is morally reprehensible.

I full agree with this...Just because you CAN do it, doesn't mean its the right thing to do, but you gotta also figure, most of these guys would be out raping women and killing people if they wouldn't get in trouble for it. It's the type of person that UO brings, the people that have nicer tendencies are on other games such as WoW or on server's that are roleplaying or trammellized. It's just the way it is and probably why the population is down to 200, but let them play how they want, soon enough there will be noone left to scam except each other, then they will realize they are either done with UO and wanted to ruin it for everyone else before they quit anyway or that maybe they should have helped the next guy instead of scamming him and they would still be playing.

I 100% agree with this statement. Well said!

Think they took down that mylittlepony site. They banned fede and he hax'd it.

[Dook Dooker]

I will say something. I had been recalling around chopping trees dropping the boards in the bank. I always hide before and after recall. I had it automated so I can just sit back and watch. I am not lying, Vega sat at that Bank in the area running around all night and logged back in in the morning. It took him all that time to attempt to block my recall spot. I had an alt drop off more supplies. I hid on my alt. 3 others joined vega on the roof one at a time to block my recall spots. I just switched the targeted Rune to another Bank but I was fascinated all that time and trouble to finally get the nerve to do this and hanging out at a scarcely populated bank really made me want to question the man's sanity. This was not a populated city. I am just wondering what kind of things goes through one's head running around NuJel'm when absolutely no one is there all freaking night.

He was somehow confused, and because I flickered on screen for a half second to bank not seeing me recall in he was running around trying to find me calling me a Haxxor.

You would be surprised the amount of bullshit that gets produced from individual's on this game. I have seen players stalked in game and it brought into their real life. Like borderline identity theft type shit.

[Dook Dooker]

It appears the shard Hybrid is popular and the community is 100% better then here.

I will say that my initial interactions with Suck it Trebek have been less than pleasant. I understand pk's will be pk's. I also understand it takes 4 of them to keep me off the loot when their waiting for an IDOC to fall. But I still feel on a shard this size respect should be a little more present among one another. But that's just my opinion. That is my real only experience with him.

I don't think making friendly small talk saying this server is still brutal needs a reply such as, "If by brutal you mean not for vagina's then yes" That just is not necessary. Not to mention not everyone's play style in this game is player killing but you're forced to accept it or run/die. This game has one of the best crafting/resource systems ever designed. Some people love the grind and it makes them feel like their making a difference. But they lose that nostalgia and butterfly feeling when people like Vega and other's i'm sure I will meet take it from them by camping their recall spots and killing them for standing there and find them hiding in a forest while taking care of IRL stuff. IF you guys honestly don't care about the community at all. This shard will die and i will hate to see it die.

Speaking of pking afkers I don't think there is a single PK on this game that does not have tracking gmed. Lol.

Please tell me you didn't try to compare Hybrid to UOSA. They have more differences than similarities and generally appeal do a different audience. UO Freeservers are a niche community and servers like UOSA is a niche within that Niche appealing to a much different yet smaller playerbase.

I agree that when you have such a small population players need to take into account not causing so much grief they push other people away from playing this server. Yet the people you speak of are the very people whom keep this server alive by actively playing it.

You mentioned you have different play styles. Their play style is to kill you ... If they just sit around watching you go along your merry little way then they are not enjoying this server. However if they kill you then you are not enjoying the game. Why should your enjoyment be priority over someone else?

Its a catch 22. UO is about overcoming , adapting, and out smarting your opponent. Everyone on this server who has a long tenure has been subject to some type of these behaviors at some point, yet they overcame them. Most likely finding pride and ambition in their overcoming of their enemies.


There are plenty of helpful and great people in this community. Yet there are no threads about them because UO thrives on conflict.

Good Luck , I hope you stay with Ultima Online Second Age as it is a rewarding exp even in this time of small population.

[Dook Dooker]

I said similarities with a better community. I did not compare them in any sense other then its UO and it has way less assholes.

I also stated player killing is fine. But to waste an entire day just putting tables down on someones recall spot for no benefit other then to piss them off.
That is not gaming. That is killing our server. Stalking people in game and out of game. That is not UO. I think a lot of the people on this game that are more "hardcore" Lack people skills and rationality.

[inkognito]

Blocked recall spots from a movable decaying object is an issue here? Dafuq. Mark on any of the other 9 million tiles?
Proof of stalking out of game please.

[Hicha]

Since we're reliving an old thread...

First of all, being scammed, sucks, and at one point, we have all been scammed.

100% true. I am scammed literally everyday on this server. I come across homes all the time where people have willfully left their homes security lax, welcoming me into their estates. Then when I collect the donated items, the home owners come rushing in to try and kill me while accusing me of being a thief! Preposterous! It becomes clear these unsecured homes are just honey traps, but I fall for it every time!

14:07] <dookdooker> btw no hard feelings. I was being silly. I hope u know that. I don't stand a chance against you guys so im not about to contest it lol.
[15:05] <Vega> yep I know
[15:06] <dookdooker> you're definitely a dick though lol. I may not agree with your methods. But I understand some of them
[22:41] <Vega> you'll never understand if you don't understand now
[22:41] <Vega> the more you get involved, the more likely you are to confuse yourself and create dispositions that only exist in your head
[22:42] <dookdooker> lol the things u said to me at that idoc earlier were not missconceptions. that was rude. also your track record here does not say much. It's ok though. its just part of the game i guess
[22:42] <dookdooker> its like a server full of republicans
[22:42] <dookdooker> the rich get richer and the poor quit/die
[22:42] <Vega> nah
[22:42] <Vega> it's a server of titty babies
[22:43] <Vega> "I can't play my little pony, so I quit"
[22:43] <Vega> UO is not for the weak.
[22:43] <Vega> if you are weak, you should treasure hunt, lockpick, anything where confrontation is unlikely
[22:43] <Vega> but to enter an area where death is prominent and protest it is well, as dumb as it gets
[22:43] <dookdooker> see thas where you're wrong. its a server of casual players and you are a tumor in an otherwise nice game. You can be a pk without having a shit attitutde lol
[22:43] <Vega> I'm not rude, I'm honest.
[22:43] <Vega> I'm not here to be your friend.
[22:43] <dookdooker> exactly
[22:43] <Vega> why do you think everyone wants to be your friend?
[22:44] <Vega> there's your flaw
[22:44] <dookdooker> goodluck to your future. But just from forums alone i have seen at least a dozen people quit due to the way they were treated.
[22:44] <Vega> I have made about 300 people quit
[22:44] <dookdooker> you must feel a sense of accomplishment lol
[22:44] <Vega> I would rather play with the 400 people who have a set of balls than 2000 without it
[22:44] <dookdooker> give it another year
[22:44] <Vega> I can't be accountable for other peoples weaknesses.
[22:44] <dookdooker> there wont be any balls on this server
[22:44] <Vega> you think I'm not rich on every major server?
[22:44] <Vega> lol
[22:45] <Vega> your threats of doom are moot
[22:45] <dookdooker> my threats?
[22:45] <dookdooker> their not my threats
[22:45] <Vega> I'm a strong player. I don't care that you're not. Don't get in my way, and we won't have a problem.
[22:45] <dookdooker> the community is dying
[22:45] <Vega> they're*
[22:45] <Vega> "community"
[22:45] <Vega> UO isn't a community game
[22:45] <dookdooker> i played back in 2009 and jesus there was so many people here
[22:45] <Vega> if you don't like something in a "community", you and some other people get together and beat up the strong bully
[22:45] <Vega> grow up, this isn't rocket science
[22:45] <Vega> yeah, Joshua Lee was here in 2009
[22:46] <Vega> I'm a god damn rainbow cotton candy dispersing unicorn compared to some of the older players.
[22:46] <Vega> [22:45] <Vega> I'm a strong player. I don't care that you're not. Don't get in my way, and we won't have a problem.
[22:46] <dookdooker> lol
[22:46] <dookdooker> im still coming to your birthday party
[22:46] <dookdooker> so deal with it
[22:46] <Vega> "I heard stuff through hearsay, on a public and almost unmoderated forum that has no rules against slander."
[22:47] <dookdooker> Goodluck with that
[22:48] <Vega> that was mockery, not an anecdote

[farnk]

all these people bitching about vega raping idocs is laughable. band a group of 5 or so together, get in vent and go fight them. the competition is absolute bad, like lay on my beanbag eating cheetos and masterbating on your face bad. uo isnt that hard at all. every idoc ive witnessed in the last year is a few newbs getting glazed in bbq and sucking on the brush. easy peazy elementary bullshit. this server is such shit now when it comes to any type of competitive teamwork or 1v1 at that.
