Last night i set forh for my daily stroll around the lands scouting idoc's and i am not pleased to say there are a good amout of houses in the begining stages of idoc's while under normal circumstances this might be a good thing(free loot) i was actually concerned to a point where i began questioning the future of uo..hopefully i am just jumping the gun here or is there a real need to worry. just for arguments sake i enconted 10 homes in 1 hour yesterday my usuall is no more then 3 usually 2

It's prolly mostly people who had ten accoutns and only use a few.

hope so but i never in my life beleive in Coincidence

Maybe just a lot of people on their summer holidays.

hehehe..

I say good, maybe those of us who really want a keep or castle to live in ,not just have for nothing can get one lol. I alkways hated those greedy people how had like 4 castles and keeps.

Agreed

I personally don't see it as a good sign. What good is a castle going to do me if I'm the only person on the shard? I'd rather be struggling to find a place for a 7x7 than not having enough people to make it worth keeping the shard open.

So far UO has not had to combine shard but if the trend continues they may.

Peace,

I see this as being bad. Although my shard is still populated I have been noticing alot of the smaller houses condensing into larger ones. There are some places around that are only 14 - 18x18 around. Of course it would be extrememly sad if players did return to uo in mass only to find fewer but larger homes around.
