Do we want to talk about the terminology of the word "endgame" or how we can make a great militia system?

The uof staff used to do a lot of awsome changes and implemented great ideas in the last years. The most recent changes are not part of this glorious history, unfortunately. Just my 2 cents.

Honestly... all that's needed to make it great is for everyone to stop bitching, join and fight!

How can we bring players from playing on a red to find any form of pvp, to join militia and go for consensual pvp?

The answer is: incentives.

If there is no incentive to play in militia people will continue to play on their reds. You can attack anybody on your red. As everybody can see the number of reds increased the last weeks, because people gave up to find orange enemies. At least its my impression.

We live in a world where people need incentives to change their behaviour. Not only in uo.

Give people a reason to switch from red vs blue to orange vs orange and they will do it. The wand story was a fail, but at least you tried something. Now its time for the next step.

FYI

IMPLEMENTED BUT NOT HOW ORIGINALLY THOUGHT
Reds/Murderers/Player Killers cannot join Militia's.

  • Reds CAN join militias. There was no real point in preventing this.
Personally think this is BS... Either you're trying to support consensual PVP or you're not. They might as well left factions in cause this will end up with that same old shit. No PVP then lets roll dungeons and kill PVM players.

It's like Shane said before "on this server there is no reason for you not to roll as a red... you get the best of everything".

Absolutly. So give higher punishment for playing on reds (if you do so pls give the players the choice of becoming blue for free) or increase the incentives for militia.

Again: as a red i can attack anybody, why should i care if my opponent is blue, orange or pink if there is no real reward to kill an orange player.
