i've got ideas though and i'm still getting my character sorted, so we'll see  |
-V- and KH were at a tourny 15 + ,plus as Stormcrow posted Grd had an event at which there were around 30.
So theres 45 players at just 2 events,which isnt too shabby in the current climate.
As said there is always some thing happening in UO,its just knowing,what and when/where.
The days of going to the bank in Trinsic,and seeing copious amounts of folk 'hanging' around the bank,are long gone,presently.
Heck,only 2 years back,KH could walk into Trinsic,and it was a pre guarantee,we would get roleplay, galore,with no pre planning etc.
During that time numerous 'villains/enemies' would stroll along,furthering the experience.
If that was exhausted too quickly,one could then go to any of the other 'hotspots' in Trinsic and rinse and repeat.
By the time a good few hours had passed,one felt suitably 'served' bu UO,and as most players logged in preparation for rl the next morning,it was usual, several of us would gather by West Gate,managing to pass another hour or so,with great fun.
I was a young turcopole back then in KT when the war between Strongholt and Beaufort [ then Templewood] raged,and it was SO exciting to be a part of all that.
There was nothing more exciting than 'waking' up in Templewood,and to 'see' 5/6 different guilds lined up, preparing to attack us.
Those are the memories that keep folk like Paladis/Raul/callum/Kealith /Twoie and myself going.
Of course nowadays,with so many gone .how we find the same interaction has changed.
Now we have to pre plan almost just meeting up at the bank with anyone
It doesnt mean we cant still have FUN though.
I think the above idea for taking over towns is the way to go atm, BUT as was already said,until folk are prepared to take IC consequences,it will just not work.
Twothumb is the only 'leader' of a town I have known, who is prepared to do that.
Had a lot of activity around a plot where he lost control of Vesper and his wife got kicked out also
So lets get our heads together and do some thing ,although I know from a post Hanse made , there IS some thing in the pipeline,so best check with your GM's/AGM's before planning anything
