My hope isn't to just punish, but to have a system that promotes interesting gameplay. It is a lost opportunity to promote a natural conflict. If the whole ransom/bounty system in its current state, were removed tomorrow, I bet no one would make a fuss. The idea is solid but it lacks the...

I'm not trying to provoke anyone here but so far, in this thread, there has been no cogent argument against tweaking the bounty ransom system. The issue isn't "reds can be killed in a group" or "there are WAY too many reds" or "if you get good you can deal with reds". The issue that I am...

I think this is a great suggestion. It provides a good incentive to hunt reds, for reds to buy back heads, improves the value of skill scrolls. Macroing that last skill point isn't hard but possibly enough of an inconvenience to participate in the head ransom system.

This is exactly the problem. There is no need for reds to even participate in the system because there is no effective incentive or disencentive. I'm not against reds, heck I would be open to an open bounty system where you could hire a red to kill someone. Although I can think of a lot of...

@girana what is the maximum ransom and max stat loss amount and time?

Punishment should fit the crime. Playing a red and murdering other players should be the riskiest way to play UO. PKs are essential to the risk reward fun of UO. I just think the system could be tweaked to increase the excitement for both the reds and red hunters.

I don't want to be rude but your question doesn't really relate to the system that exists here. I guess the sysyem here would be more accurately called a ransom system. How it works now: A red kills as much as they want till someone kills them and takes their head. They interact with the head...

Many people were interested and everyone knew there was a chance it was a normal paragon chest. Many of us also hoped there was something special inside. I commend SidX and everyone else who bid for being optimists. If I wasn't fairly new to the server still trying to deck out my meta...

Congrats to SidX and thank you to everyone who bid!

This was not a very positive or helpful comment.

Am I going to get in trouble if I post a gross punchline?

I have not and will not use Test Center to see the contents and am happy to validate this before delivery, if requested. As described in the original post, it is still locked and unopened. Whomever buys it will be free to disclose or not disclose the contents.

Bid increments of 200k, pretty please.

Started the auction.

I am auctioning the still locked and unopened chest that dropped from the 5th anniversary invasion event boss Lord Blackthorn. We will never see another chest "recovered from Lord Blackthorn". What is inside? Starting bid is 1m Bid increments of 200k B/O 6m Auction ends 24 hours after the...

I really like the design of the murderer bounty system here on UO Forever. However, if I'm not mistaken, the maximum ransom you can ask for a head is 25k. I would like to see a scaling bounty system in place. The more murders you have committed, the higher/longer the stat loss and the higher...

The smoothness of Sallos and Orion make UO a huge pleasure to play again. You can really tell a lot of work went into the Enhanced Client and I would love to see it on UOF. A big thanks to the Devs for all their hard work.

I received a level 7 map from Christmas Lich Khan FYI.

My chars I played the most were Valor, Res Killer and Bobby Fisher... it was my second account as my first account was banned for macroing. My original characters were Kroviniak, North Wind.

Downloading the updated Intel driver and then installing it via the Update Driver fixed this problem for me too. Thank you to everyone who spent time figuring out the different fixes for people.
