Requesting No PvP Shard
Simple as that. No transfers in or out. Please let us play all game content on easy mode on a shard that is in a vacuum. Housing rules still apply.

Fair enough request, and also make the Felucca only pvp shard to match it, and all is fair and square.
All you'd be missing is scrolls, but if you're not pvp'ing, and nobody else is, and everybody has equal skills, then you don't need them, either.
I'm not trying to convince anyone to quit, either. Before you say that just consider what certain players are wanting. Don't treat your customers like dirt. Simple really.
There's no magical reason to keep power scrolls as PvP only. A Trammel Shard with all content is a great idea. No xfers in or out.
Edit: A message to moderators. There are fewer active users here than on stratics. If you want to know why, it's the moderation. Go ask them.
Or a new shard that is normal (tram and fel) that is non transferable too.
Funny how you can not get any of those 20 to 30 people to come here and post. Looks like they are happy the way things are. Or they just reside in your mind.
A trammel shard could still have consensual guild vs guild pvp. Just require both guilds to declare war before its allowed. That would be a balanced approach. None of us would have to participate, ever.
Remember runescape made a pvp server for its game and it lasted about 6 months before they pulled the plug. Bulk majority is not interested in pvp.
To be clear a tram shard is no pvp everywhere, no felucca gates. All champ spawns available in tram.
A felucca shard is no trammel, all areas offer pvp. No area is safe.
I don't think you really get it, there is no fear.
We are begging to send all the easy mode players off somewhere so they can destroy the game and the economy all to themselves, without dragging the game itself down.
We'd also love a fair and equal Felucca only shard to match.
The only thing stopping this, is the developers, it's down to their concept of workload, what it would mean for the game, how would it really play out - would it be genuinely better or worse for the game, they are probably scared to try it.
As for Stratics, versus the moderation here, the moderation here is fine, I usually end up being moderated by all sides, due to the fact I'm very blunt and logical in a way that people cannot handle, it causes too much controversy, I get it. Stratics is only more popular because this site is brand new, and this site only caters to live players, as opposed to Stratics that has many inactive players posting tons of rubbish. But to be fair, some of that is valid also. Both sites have a purpose - you can discuss things more freely on Stratics across a wider range, but here, you know you are talking to genuine players only, which also has its advantages.
Runescape was not known for its PvP - UO has in its time been known for some of the most fluid fast paced fun PvP going. Though dismount is of course currently ruining that flow.
I myself have held up Runescape as a way forward for UO, yes I agree it is having phenomenal success.
The reason why, is they have stuck to their guns, and their roots, they've not forgotten what they are all about, and their vision.
They've focussed on the retro style and simplicity, they are not having to run an enhanced client in tandem... Retro games are back.

"Relive the challenging levelling system and risk-it-all PvP" - That is their opening sentence...
Odd line to have for a game with no PvP? Currently 136,000 players logged in.
Yes. Players would go there for the novelty and hope they would become the most popular player.
Then a few would stay. When a game owed by EA makes a new place to play, it is the last chance for the game and if it does not work we will all get $10 of Pogo tokens and be sent on our way.
If any new shard is created it should be a PvP shard. We have our PvM shards already and you can choose the population level you want.
To the other person on runescape pvp. It’s not forced and there’s nothing you can’t obtain if you avoid it.
Also, UO pvp is built off players making powerful pvp characters and then killing players who enter felucca for certain gear. The players who enter aren’t built for pvp. They are free kills. It’s purely a grief system. In runescape there is the wilderness, and a few gameplay modes that people can go to for pvp (but almost no one does) and there’s nothing you gain from these areas that matter.
One game focused on PvM and is successful, the other kept the grieving pk system. Look who’s doing better. 1 million current subscribers vs maybe 10k.
I'll agree the "forcing" thing can be an issue.
I feel forced into Trammel, for such things as town buffs, to experience all the new style facets, 99% of events, 90% of all the other artefact drops, all new content.
You only get "forced" into Felucca for 1 thing, I wish I could be in your boat right now.
PKing is lame. It’s just online harassment.
Have your game back, I just hoped maybe somebody would take the time to make something I enjoy enough to grab my buddies and say “hey, create a UO account I’ve been playing a lot lately and I think you might like it”
Game is garbage, again. Thanks for forcing “PvP content” on us.
Thanks for forcing the snowflake generation on us.
Please make the Grizzled Mare a 5 slot mount, it's incredibly rare and deserves it. Some of us have been waiting a long time for this simple addition.
Why is anyone with an intelligent logical opinion that doesn't match yours, a troll or a griefer?
See it so much these days.
You could have debated with me, you'll notice I wasn't against some of your proposals, just think you've both got that whole histrionic thing going on.
Next thing I'll know, you'll start some sort of #witchhunt movement against me.
Awesome.
No idea.
My friend Rorschach must be asleep, he wouldn't normally let me get this far.
However, If you pvp fine, keep it up. If you pk fine, keep it up. If you want to live out your UO days in Fel fine, keep on keepin on. But please tell me why you are in this thread? The only responses should have been voices for this idea. You lose nothing if something like this were implemented, or do you? Do you lose the ability to PK? Is that it. Are you scared that people will take their time to the safe shard? You know they will.
Remember after Tram first hit? The richest most successful sat at Brit bank proud. They had 0 reason to ever get PK’d again. Then the devs messed it up, they added critical game changing skill and stat caps to Fel only content. Then the player base declined.
Few people want to be PKd, I have chars and item sets on those chars for pvp. If a pk shows up and wants some then we PvP. If im on a PvM temp with items that suit PvM I simply get killed? What is that?
You say runescspe is successful because it is true to it’s roots. UO gave that up with AoS. They got greedy, saw the writing on the wall and knew they needed to make the game an eternal loot grind. Now UO is a sandbox loot grind. Dont think so? I just reactivated an account from 02 not a single viable item or character on the account (aside from an ethy) why?
Anyway you get my point, I do t get yours.
last, I’m not entitled. I defended this country, I carved my place, I have a good job and I don’t give or take handouts. I have no control over people on the internet. I call trolls and griefers what they are. There is nothing gained by player killing in an online game. Maybe I’m wrong, maybe it’s keeping rapists off the streets... I dunno.
Have fun being proud of killing people in a video game about role-playing and fantasy where they have eliminated any negatives of doing so.
