UO Second Age

I'm shocked, I'm appalled, I'm disgusted, by brain is inflamed, and most of all I am OUT-RAGED

For over 2 years I have owned a very prime piece of land just outside of Minoc, a small stable house about 5 tiles from the Minoc stable, and one tile from the guard line.

This house has held a very high value over the past 2 years, because of the fact you can trap a stable master between the wall and a saddle in his own stable, and therefore stable/claim your pets from inside the small house.

Here is a picture of my house. The yellow circle is the spot where I snare the stable master...




Until this morning, those 2 stacks of hay were not there! Why are they there now?

The answer is because I stole 5 stable slots from some newbies last night by stalling small animals in my house and they paged a GM to cry about it.

SO.... Instead of trying to solve their problem, the newbies had a GM to do it for them. The truth is, all these newbies had to do was say the stable master's name followed by "Move" and he would have walked right out of his little saddle corner.

I am dis-heartened that a GM would meddle in player affairs like this. If these stacks of hay remain, then my house will also remain extremely devalued.

Please remove the hay stacks.

I'd like to have some pieces of terrain adjusted so that a larger house will fit. Who do I PM to make this happen, since we're in the business of changing the maps.

Those hay stacks are era accurate.

Complaining is era accurate. Why do you think the era disappeared?

YES! THEN WE CAN MAKE DUNGEONS INSTANCED AND MAKE CASTING IN TOWN TURNED OFF!

/wrists

I do not support the inclulsion of the hay stacks without proper evidence that they are indeed era accurate.

derrick not that i rlly care cuz i dont play this game anymore but tbh thats rlly bs right here.
i think rose did more than enough to this server with uncountable player run events and he own this house since years. dont treat such a awsome player just because of someone who cant use the vendor move command.

thats all.

and get a life rose! ;>

Let's remove the hay stacks but instead implement a more accurate NPC command range as this player once proposed more than a year ago : viewtopic.php?f=8&t=26488

Buying and selling items through walls just doesn't feel right...

I think the whole issue of how the stables is handled here is a complete blight on the shard and is one of the major downsides to playing this shard. The whole stable issue is the number one thing that I absolutely hate about this shard and think is completely terrible. It is the one thing that truly pisses me off about the way the Dev's handle things here and it certainly does this shard no good in attracting new players that have never played this shard.

However...

It is the way things are right now and IF the Dev's are blatantly punishing players for using game mechanics, then that is a far more serious issue with me. It is one of those issues that would seriously make me consider quitting this shard.

I would like an official statement on this.

I agree with this.

However, I do know it was possible to bank though walls in era (I used to bank at Empath Abbey), and that leaves open the question, could you stable though walls as well?

Buy yea, vendors should require you to be close to them in order to buy/sell.

I have a better idea.

Let's direct effort towards more relevant things such as getting events back before we add anymore inconvenience to the shard such as encouraging the administration to make us walk into a building in order to sell some stuff and open our banks.

Join the club. I bought a keep for much higher then market value because I could stable out of it. Did so for over a year then I come back and a gm has removed the stablemaster from the guard tower and replaced it with another npc.

Trapping/removing NPC vendors has always been against the shard's policy, has it not? Maybe I'm confused about what you meant by "trap".
