Poll: [cA] Town Add-On Request

[Stranger]

Before I vote a few questions

To that end, I intend to establish a special prize given to [cA] members for the performance of extraordinary deeds in the spirit of [cA]. The prize will be extremely rare. Who receives the prize will be completely at my discretion. It will be known as the chumbucket Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Field of Applied Bardery.

What is the spirit of cA that you are referring to?
Will there be a 'quota' of this prize given out? example - every 6 months the greatest act of bardery is rewarded. Or would it be more USA Medal of Honor style, where it is barely ever given out?
Everyone loves an awards ceremony

We are proposing this as a town add-on. Hence, we would be willing to pay for these harmless items in the same way that other guilds pay for arenas, private stables, private forts, special "wargs", special free pvp areas, and so on. We believe that a large amount (to be determined by staff) of gold and silver would be the appropriate form of payment, which would have the added bonus of being a small gold sink.

It is an interesting approach to aquiring this item(s). It wouldn't be the first time a custom titled item was granted to a guild (See Kingdom of Ascalons Royal Charter). What provisions/cost were put on the item I dont know, I am goign to guess we never will since the creator and gm liason is gone now. There are also custom wearable items created for the UOSA pvp seasons, granted to the champions (well earned).
So its deffinately not somthing completely new, just the method of creation/aquisition is.

While we do (I feel) badly need a gold sink, I dont know if buying custom wearable items is the place. Personally, I would rather them be earned through shard participation (which Im guessing the act of bardery will be?) than bought (if you dont consider gold farming/trading earning ).

Answers/thoughts?

Quick observation here and a bit off topic but all I hear everyone say is "We need a gold sink." To me its simple, make silver buyable via a vendor.

If this is just a [cA] thing, then I have already thoroughly described what I want and staff would simply make one when I had sufficient funds and someone to award it to.

If this were a gold sink available to the shard as a whole, then presumably it would work in a few steps:

1. A guild applies for eligibility based on two factors (age of guild and/or contribution of guild to shard)

2. if approved, a name for the item in question is determined plus jewelry type (bracelet, ring, etc.; gold or silver)

3. once the name is approved, the guildmaster of that guild then provides the required funds and guild member(s) the item(s) are to be awarded to

4. staff puts them together and places them in the backpacks of those characters

5. gold is taken out of the economy and there are only barely visible direct effects on gameplay but extra motivation for guilds to be active.

Probably, if this were a general gold sink, it would need have some sort of purpose other than OMGPIXELS.

[Mad Max]

yes

why does there need to be any other purpose than l33t pixelz?!

[Ardos]

Absolutely Yes. This guild has done a lot for the server even though they do run a few newbies off here and there it is essential UO has its dangers.

I voted no because alot of ppl voted yes i really have no idea what u r asking for nor do i can

[karrelan]

I voted no because this is not an AoS server with pretty things for us to buy from the gms. This server is good because in general the gms stay out of it. If it starts with a little bracelet then I would like to award one to my guild as well. Who is to stop every guild to want one? We already know that money is really not an issue for most players here, so it would not be hard for people to make the cash to buy a bracelet for themselves. If you really want to award your thing to a guildmate, put it into their guild title...a place for everyone to see....its free...it doesnt require gm help of any kind..and it still serves the purpose of honoring your guild member.

To apply for a OMGPIXEL you have to shout " I R NEW GLD PLS " at britbank for more than 2 years. Not alot of people can do that.
