I would love it if the shard was wiped. UOSA should institute a once-every-five-years-shard-wipe policy!

People like secondage because of stability, what would be the reason for a wipe anyway? lol

Fun to start over every once in a while. Or at least I say that now. Who knows.

I pondered the same thing chum did but that would discourage anyone from joining when a wipe is about 1 year away but that might not matter.

I want the shard wiped because I think when everyone is new, a lot more play styles are viable, and we all know there were a lot more play styles when things were new here. Now all we have is server wars, bank sitters, macroers, maybe a +- at the GY now and then. It used to be almost imposible to avoid player interaction, now I have to work really hard to get it. I'm actually seeing players earning a pvp reputation at server wars and to me this is an indicator that this shard(UO) has reached its peak.

I think UO is best everyone is striving to get loot and gold, not completely stacked from head to toe 7x gm trying to prove a point in pvp, that makes the game really predictable

Now that we have gone through all those patches, and we have era accuracty down pretty much to how we want it, imagine a brand new shard thats like this from the very beginning, no neon trammy crap for anyone, no test center, the only thing that gives you street cred is getting loot and being a badass.

It sounds amazing and terrifying all at the same time.....

Also slow down skill gain to make up for how easy it is to gain with razor. By the time I get a character real strong, I want to feel like I accomplished somthing, not liek "Oh I'm glad that chore is over with now I can start playing".

If we were to continue with 3 accounts per person then a wipe won't change anything other than less "vets" returning.

Regardless, wipe isn't going to happen, nor should it really.

at the very least throw in a once a month server warp of a few hours....

Ya, and make a 1 account max, that way ppl have to work together to gain skill rlly rlly fast.

Food for thought: If Derrick started a parallel server with exactly the same settings but clean as the day UOSA launched, how many people would go over and start characters there? My guess is almost everyone.

If that happened first thing i would do is fill all the stables

Pretty simple really.

Server would split into two separate shards with each type of group that prefers one over the other.

The end result would be horrible population levels for both.

Slowing down skill gains? How is that era accurate? The main reason I started here is because I could macro and be PvPing in a relatively short time frame.

There was a player here a while back who wanted to form a "bone wall" with many other players to gain melee skills. These exactly the kind of players I want thousands of here because I think what makes killing someone in UO great is the feeling of working hard to become strong and using my skills creatively to win.
UO pvp is better than WoW pvp because it's like a real fight, it not liek "Oh lets just pit our characters against each other and see what happens" kind of fight.

*footnote*
also make sure all magic items are dropping at the proper rate. When I pwn the shit out of some noob by stealing an uber powerful weapon but I know he has tons more and I have to be happy with the fact all I did is make him run to the bank and back, I get upset.
