I too am an original origin player and I do not agree with the above statements of making this shard a scripters shard many play here and enjoy the lack of lag and ppl so scripters beware.

Welcome to UO Forums Sirdane

Well I think punkbuster has at best been put on a back burner but more likely taken off the menu. I don't think anyone would want their shard to be chosen for the dubious honor of having all the scripters

"Please know that we are working to make systems within the Kingdom Reborn client extremely tough on cheaters. We’ve made cheat prevention, and other in-game measures, a top (and ongoing) priority for our coding team."

Not all scripting is bad, only unattended scripting.

I think it is great that they are working on issues with cheating but for some reason cheaters will find another way to cheat

There will always be cheaters, but hopefully there will be less script kiddies cheating as well.

While Origin might have a low population we have a whole lot of great players who have tired of the lag and the spam and moved to a shard where we have room to grow and can interact together in storyline problems. The degree of cooperation on this shard make it a really great place to play. So if you want to come script here as Sir Dane said watch out that makes you fair game!

Player policing of scripters has always been too little, too late and not enough action on the GMs. Perhaps with the new KR Client, things will be better. Fair game only works outside town limits. Just because someone doesn't respond to another player doesn't mean they are unattended scripting.

Very true that some players don't respond so you need to be careful in your policing if you are doing that.

Today they announced yet another separation between players and GMs when they did away with the Event Moderators. The GMs are pretty useless already and now any events fall to the larger guilds to try. So good luck I hope the beta is better.

Larger guilds can be inept at events( too many egos conflicting). A few good dedicated ppl working together can do wonders especially if the only goal is to having a good event over character storyline or charcater development.
