this quote from Wilki recently on the gold raid,

Quote:

I've been calculating a few things here behind the scenes, and let's just say that if you divided up this gold and put an equal amount in every single house in UO, across all shards, you'd wake up in the morning to find over 100 million in your house. Yes, over 100 million gold in every single house
in UO.

brought thefollowing responses from players.

That's 150,000 houses in all of UO.

Now, how many people do you think have multiple accounts, and how many do you think have 0 houses?

So, how many people actually play UO?

I knew someone would try to work this out, which is why I used very fuzzy numbers. :-)

Funny thing is, Wilki, unless you have lied to us, the only way these numbers could have been fuzzy is if the number of houses is LESS than 150,000.

You said "over 100 million" - that's pretty straight forward. If it was (for exaggerations sake to prove my point) 200 million, then the number of houses drops to 75,000.

So, the more fuzzy your numbers are, the less houses and thus players we actually have.

So, is it that the numbers are generally correct, pretty damned fuzzy or you just lied to us?

Oh dear geesh give it a rest.....who cares? They took illegal gold out of the game...along with the people and all of ther illegal gotten gains. who careshow much, who, what, when.....they did it....be friggin happy and leave Wilkie alone......at least he's giving information, which, by the way, he doesn't have to.

Thank you Wilkie and the rest of the team, I'm happy just knowing you're taking action.

Does that include banned account houses that are going to stand till UO is unplugged?

Wilki's only response so far was to the last comment

I hate those houses!

They need to be destroyed!

Luckily, Serado was working on something fun for those before he took a nice long vacation. He's back, so I'll be sure to prod him on where he's at on that.
