The bean counters will noticee as enough accounts close. But for the protest to be effective, this guy has the right attitude. Move the good stuff and close other accounts.
If you just close accounts and leave the houses to fall with all the goddies in it, no one will feel the pain, because the powers know that people will open more accounts to save and keep the rares. So the net loss won't be too bad.
But if collectors trash the stuff, and then close accounts...those accounts are gone, There;s no need for open accounts when there's nothing to salvage.
And @The_Higgs_1 , the ones supporting this game are the RMT'ers and rare collectors, Lots of accounts there, and even if they aren't always paid every month, it's still tremendous $$.
LOL no way the casual player like me, and the dozen or so pk'ers who are so vocal, are keeping this game afloat.
And you know everything about everyone posting here, how exactly? Because you read a few posts? Because we disagree with you? You don't know jack shit about me, my playstyle, what I have or what I enjoy about UO. ASSUME much? I don't have the number of accounts I do because I need 100 characters. It's because I like houses, designing them and building them and decorating them.
You don't know a damn thing about me or most anyone else who posts here.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, to make their case and to express their dissatisfaction about the game. We all love this game I have no doubt.
When some posters start going on about how nobody wanted this because only a few posters were vocal about it they just show themselves to be selfish, self-centered crybabies, ignorant of the facts.
People start making assumptions about other posters based upon nothing more than reading their posts, just proves their immaturity and ignorance.
I play on Trammel to relax. I never go to dungeons these days, and I definitely don't do pvp.
I love the "medieval" look in Britannia, and I my own house is following that theme.
Going to Luna quickly took you away from that medieval feeling, when you entered upon houses that looked like a unicorn thew up allover them.
I would say Luna looks like Vegas if you crammed all of the casinos next to each other and had a unicorn sneeze all over them.
Hi Gidge,
I actually don't, I have not one artistic or creative bone in my body, so I avoid all those areas of the game, as I can't get my head around it.
The only reason I have a castle, is an old friend gave it to me on quitting the game.
I know they've done 2 competitions, I was hoping for a nice design with a ton of space (and 3 floors for my concept), I have not looked closely, but it's an aspect of the game I just have zero knowledge of, where to even begin.
I believe my castle can be adjusted, and I may go for it, if I see something, not known where to look, don't know how to do it, and I don't know the costs involved. I'll go to homes and castles section, thanks for the pointer.
And Tanager, your opinion is very valid, don't be feeling bad about kicking something off, it just shows there is a passion involved in this topic.
Big fan of yours ingame, have seen you around, I'm also a big fan of Mervyn's, so maybe I don't have such great taste.
This particular topic, is not one I can contribute to in any way, so I'm a neutral, and therefore likely to go completely off topic.
I normally wouldn't get involved, but the fact this even blew up as a topic, caught me by surprise, was interesting.

and many others that were affected by this, and the only reason this started was because of a famous player here that is hiding behind "another" name have a personal vendetta against another rare collector in Luna and inclusive have a BOT gating to HIS Castle 24/7 . and Because of this person now we are all paying for it.
Like @Mesanna like to say on the M&G , she have so much things to catch up on their "To Do" list , including the "coming soon" account mgmt. that I don't believe this bamboo thing was a priority , specially that didn't help on anything at all and they know that. I really like you guys to reconsider this wrong decision, just like you guys Hears Us, the paying customer when you decided to charge us 200M to convert classic castles into the ne bug ones.
(I'm sorry if I offended the... artist of the house.
A change was made to the game to lower its requirements, and as a result my immersion in the game when I visit a player town has been effected. Like all forms of art, the... erm... style varies and may not be appreciated by everyone. I understand that other people's immersion is effected when they go into a town such as Luna and are bombarded with non-medieval homes. I have been able to just quietly roll my eyes at some of these creations and move on with my life.
With all of that said, however, my complaint is not that the bug was fixed. My point is that this was done in a callous manner. It would have been far, FAR more constructive to make this an option in settings. I feel that this could still be done. People could then choose if they wanted to see the art in its entirety as they run past houses doing trade runs and the like. But there was absolutely zero discussion on the matter, and that is what I am upset about. This thread is probably pointless but there is a tiny, tiny chance that the powers that be might see something that might cause them to take things into account in the future. Tiny.
On a constructive note, perhaps a special carpet tile can be added to the store that does what bamboo used to. It is unlikely that many people will pave their entire house with it, so I would not expect the lag to be massive. I still think an options setting would be better, though. People with decent gaming PCs and a solid server connection would have the option to enjoy what their rig can display.
here is an example:
I would much prefer to look at this:
Than to look at this:
*goes to rest his poor assaulted eyeballs.
FYI, Bottom line, What I am hearing you say, is that simply because they have a lot of accounts they should be allowed to break the rules. Is that correct? Surely I have misunderstood! SURELY you aren't advocating that this is, or should be, acceptable behavior/policy? Think about it.
