Grave Yard Nostalgia Event (aka Server Wars)

Since @drinn is in charge of the Events, I wanted to toss this idea out there.

Everyone loves a little PKings PvP but no one really likes dying or losing their best gear etc. So what if once a month there was a set time where the server would not save for say an hour or so like the old server saves for OSI back in the day, and everyone went to the Graveyard to have massive GY battles. Gearing up with their best loot and going balls to the wall.

Just an idea, might be too tricky considering not everyone would want to participate and it requires a rollback, but if it was a popular idea it would be a ton of fun to just have that hour every now and again of anything goes PVP at the brit graveyard like way back :)

Sounds like you're suggesting server wars.

In my opinion, this should happen at least once a week. Every weekend, save the world one last time and then allow 30 minutes-1 hour of unsaved gameplay (server wars). Then the server is restarted. I think the server restarting every week would cut down on some lag that people may experience as well.

I would imagine a ton of bitching would ensue but I'm in the +1 boat. I used to look forward to server wars.

What a sad Ultima world we live in.

When i play i lose top shit on the reg, i don't give a rats ass, and on top of that i get taken out the game for 2 days.

Man up or GTFO imo.

Or they could start server war's up once a week. Ton's of people fighting and having fun. Maybe some players decide that it just isn't so bad dying and decide to fight you more often rather than recalling at the first hint of a red name approaching.

This gets suggested every few months but it never gets enough traction for whatever reason.

Besides just server wars, it allows people to test. See if a different sized plot fits in your space without taking a huge risk, see if a bod cloth outfit looks as good as in your mind, etc, etc.

Really great reasoning actually. Now I really miss the 30-60min server wars.

I know a big complaint comes from people that don't realize what they are doing isn't being saved. Seems like that can be addressed by having a system message repeat every few minutes to say any current work will be lost. If someone is still clueless then I don't think there is any helping them.

Server Wars are great for a couple reasons. They're just fun. No risk, no stress. Yeah UO is about risk and we all play with that risk but once in awhile it's nice not to. On other shards they'd spawn all kinds of weird shit too which made it kind of cool, like special weapons or mounts. They'd disappear once it was over of course.

It also gives people who don't really know much about pvp to do it and do it where they aren't worrying about losing, but just concentrating on what they're doing. This Capt. Austrailian, gets more people involved with real world pvp which makes it more fun for all you pvpers in general.

I'm not a pvper and I even found server wars fun. I'd say once a month though maybe. Anything TOO often gets boring.

This is exactly what I mean. It really opens up players to a world they may not get into otherwise :) And I love the idea of stuff dropping and such. Could be used to really do some fun things on the side of the GM's. I remember we used to bring dye tubs and robs and pick sides. And then we were "visually" teamed :)

My E-peen?

I was summarizing the general players mentality in 2015 from a quote provided by a trammel player - people hate dying or losing gear, but love killing other others, which is really sad - as this attitude just promotes zergs along with plenty of players (blue factioners in particular) logging off/not even trying if they don't have 'core members' on etc.

The amount of gear i donate to gank squads, along with getting ass fucked for 48 hours is huge. Because i play for fun - not Epeen or to hoarde gear. If more people could adopt such an attitude, we wouldn't have the faggotry that is rampant here (along with every other shard).

I couldn't care less about server wars, because i take risks to begin with - i lose tons of shit. If after 10 years you're still afraid to die on an online game, re-evaluate yourself.
