    It needs to be a combined effort. Guilds working together, random players dropping stuff they don't need, as non-crafters, into mailboxes at houses where they can be passed on and used.
    If you have a mailbox at your house, tell people where it is and encourage them to fill it with their resource drops. It's in everyone's interests to make sure the crafters are supplied to be able to keep opening the gates!

    I have been impressed with the event scaling up or down depending on numbers of players involved. It’s always been challenging, always lots of deaths, but never felt insurmountable, whether it’s 10 players or 50.  It’s just always felt about right.  Except for LS the other night and the Mawlings.  Other than that, it just felt right.

    Atlantic is pretty sad, event starting and no more bombs.  That many players there.


    Focus on what you can do, not what you can't.

    When we run low on bombs or catapults/ammo on LS, we announce it in general chat and start getting messages from people who are on their way with whatever we need. I’d like to think many of us are donating the materials we get in our satchels as well. It’s definitely helped bring the community together.

    If this was 20 years ago and UO had the population it did before (and the amount of time I had to play) then I'd agree with that but given the current population of UO on shards that are not ATL (and personally I don't have hours every day to play), but the reality is that there aren't always enough people online at the same time that have the skill/will to do an event like this.

    For example, I've been online ready/willing to play so I popped over to Origin to see if it was in any stage but the dungeon (since ATL is on the dungeon) and the wall is fully intact and nobody was there when I called out in chat...so I'm ready and would give supplies as I got them to people but the people simply are not there. Origin just doesn't have the population around when I play... so while I'd be willing to play in a combined effort that's just not possible when I'm able to log on... that shouldn't prevent people from taking part in the event IMO. The wall being a "show stopper" was a call out from the beginning...it should be on a timer regardless just in case a shard doesn't have the population to get things going.

    Weird I didn't see you offer up anything to help get it open. You talk about pitching in and whatnot when it comes to your home shard but seems like it's just take/take/take when you visit other places.  B)

    I don't give a flip about Atlantic.   If you were there you would have seen I was the only one to thank the catapulters and after the event when someone asked for a price check on 5 CB, I told them to give it to the ones who opened the wall you leech. Was probably you.

    Why don't you transfer the ingredients to open the wall on the shards you travel to? Mr pitch in.

    The way the drops rain in this event, there will be many shards that have no interest in continuing at some point soon.

    The bots stopped going to other shards already.

    Even if I brought enough to put down all walls on Origin it would be meaningless if there is no one around to help kill the bosses....

    The players have all the drops they want?

    The players would rather do something else that does not involve killing stuff?

    I'm sure many shards will reach that point.  

    Same thing happens with Dynamic Spawns.

    I bet half of Atlantic does not do the event.
