Hello, I am fairly new to this server and so far I think its great! I played UO for a loooong time from renaissance xpac til Stygan and I had 3 reds and enjoyed PvP and ganking as much as the next guy but at the same time every now and then its nice to just go grind without the worry of getting jumped all the time. From what I have gathered reading on the website info and from gameplay is that this server is mostly revolving around the renaissance xpac and the biggest introduction from renaissance was trammel. I understand this would double the world size and seperate players reducing MMO interaction which I understand you DO NOT want to do so how do you feel about introducing the ilshenar gates? their is no housing in ilsh but their is so much awesome hunting grounds for pure full on PVM for those who want to hunt. Now the added security should come with a price like Skill Scrolls should only be obtainable while hunting in felucca and resources such as mining, lumberjacking, skinning only renders half as much as fel does the same way retail UO did it so you still leave an advantage to sticking to fel but for those still learning or just not interested in pvp as much I feel it would open up your market to gain a whole new player base. This would not completely underpopulate felucca as you cannot bank in ilsh, or house in ilsh, no inns or trainers its just purely mobs and dungeons so felucca interaction is inevitable and PVP will still strive strong. Anyway thats my 2 cents feel free to disagree rage and troll all you want :) I hope to get an admins take on this!

So What do you think?

I can tell you what the admins will say:

No.

Although I love the idea myself, the devs have said there will be no Trammel. Period. I hate to be the guy that shoots you down, I'm just telling you what I know. =/

ya I know it prolly wont happen I just wanted to throw it out there as an idea just cuz I know the amount of popularity it would attract, I think it would increase the server population and the amount of donators which means even better server or even if they did'nt want to do ilsh because of adding all new programming in if they made a trammel but eliminate the ability to make housing in it and remove bankers and townsfolk along with guard zones and all the cities can be like outdoor dungeons filled with spawn instead where its like the same idea as ilsh but easier to add in because its just a copy of the felucca they already have minus the NPCs replaced with spawn. Somthing to attract more PVM players and increase on the already wonderful gameplay experience they have created here.

There's a reason why any server with more than felucca/t2a has less than 100 players.
There are only 2 exceptions.
And one has felucca ruleset everywhere you go.
Players want the risk vs reward of these types of servers.
You mentioned opening it up to a larger player base. Unfortunately, the down side out weighs this. People will stick to their simple carebear land of no pks and pks will get bored and it will end in a smaller player base.
I hunt on my blue all the time and rarely get pk'd.
Just to put it out there (you might do it already) open your runebook and select the page that Britain rune is on. Click the "set default" button at the top of the page. Now go into razor/steam and set a hotkey to cast Recall (without targetting something). Just the recall spell with a target waiting.
Since you set Britain as your default rune in your runebook, you can target your runebook to recall to brit.
When I'm hunting on my macer/provoker (all the time), as soon as I see a red name I run the opposite direction and hit my hotkey. I then target my book. Even my bard/dexxer has 60 magery and always carries regeants specifically for this reason. 60 magery never fizzles recall (I think. So far, so good).
Some people just record a macro to auto target book then set that recording to a hotkey. I find it messes up if you're interrupted while casting recall. Also its annoying if you use the same profile for two characters who have runes in different spots of their runebook.
Hope it helped. ;)

I understand what your saying and it is a valid argument, as in other servers who have a "tram" type world the biggest thing that makes the PVP on those server die is the ability to house / bank / train / inn at those locations, removing that option and even removing the ability to recall and mark runes to these locations making all traffic in it on foot via moongate I do not see it crippling the server also the less treasure to be found in such an area would not make it prime hunting grounds either, I do believe Felucca hunting should render a better reward and rewards that are only obtainable in Fel, under the above circumstances I do not see it completely dividing the server. Again I am open to anyone ideas and thoughts on this no matter if you agree or hate the idea I am just curious what the communities thought on this would be.
