Add a RDA informant NPC to brit, that for 5-10k will tell you how many active RDA gates there are at that moment, but only that moment, to check again you must pay again. this will act as a gold sink that also help prevent people like me from wasting time when all the RDAs are done.
e an alternative to increasing the relic drop rate, but i still think it should be increased a little. my fear is if there are to many RDAs and too high a chance at relics, they will lose all their value.

Been saying this for a while. So far fallen on deaf ears.

Right now it's a far better use of your time just sitting a character at the faction gate and waiting for a new faction gate to pop than to potentially waste time looking for RDAs that may or may not exist.

Your comment has less to do with "making things easier for us" and far more to do with less competition. Though I do disagree with being told how many are up at a given time. However like Whirlpools we should have an NPC that for 10k tells you When an RDA is up. Not how many, where, but that it is up.
Suggestion for it in my thread here: http://www.uoforum.com/threads/mega-suggestion-thread.62023/#post-431432

If you were smart you know how to tell when they're up... Pretty damn simple though.

Instead of throwing mud, maybe you should think about how foolish it makes you lok when you join a guild of known exploiters who abused RDAs for MONTHS before they were fixed.

I'm not even going to touch the Asylum exploits your guildmates are known for because it's not pertinent to the discussion.

The longer the drop rates remain the same, the more $ guild will have profited from those exploits. Increasing the drop rates now will give other (legit) guilds a chance to make up ground that was lost during those months.

I know you weren't part of $ guild until after these exploits were fixed. But you need to know that you don't have a leg to stand on when you accuse others of wanting things to be made easy.

Foolish. Very foolish.

I did rdas with LOLZ for 3 months. We didn't exploit anything. Things drop all the time. 3 120 tamings 4 QS and multiple moltons and nox. Quit crying about other guilds just because it takes you guys 10 players to clear and rda and some scrub gets a relic and says nothing

Don't recall them not already being easy. They're very very easy. Drop rates is what people are complaining about not being easy

First off we have never even had 10 people online. I think our largest group ever was 8, we usually only have 3 or 4 members doing rdas.

Second, your made up accusations are silly and off topic.

And lastly both you and bromista need to stop derailing this thread.

Unless you are commenting on the suggestions please do not comment.

Oh man it gets better @Harry Berries

Silky Johnston you don't have a leg to stand on here. You are riding $ coattails Babethoven style because LOLZ ever had the personnel to get anything done themselves. Not without "cooperation" followed by betraying the trust of those you were cooperating with and that's the truth.

I remember when Caprail and I were doing the faction gates before anyone else bothered to check them. Back when they were bugged and you had to page-in to staff to fix them (I was the only one capping the Brit sigil for SL for the first month of the new system, then CoM started capping but they never even checked their own gate! LOL!) because they were bugged and unable to be entered. They were too high on the Z axis to be entered so you had to page to have them lowered. I even PM'ed staff early on requesting for them to be fixed so only factioners could enter within the first WEEK of the sigil changes and staff would back me up on that.

After those initial couple months we saw a lone LOLZ guy enter our RDAs a few times and they were promptly killed never to return. Not sure if that was you or not. I know for a fact Peepin Tom showed up once or twice.

Then you guys caught on to the gates and did the whole "let's cooperate" thing only to stab us in the back a few times. That was our collective bad for trusting a bunch of scumbags.

Moral of the story: the irony of you saying it took us months to catch on is fantastic and I do wish you would keep up the good work!

And going back to Caprail and I two-manning the faction RDAs...we are bros. Bros who did a solid 100 RDAs (faction and otherwise) without ever getting a relic. Only thing notable we ever got besides a few 120's was a chromatic (sup @Guwap) so your whole "somebody is not telling you they got a relic" angle is really not working for you.

Messremb got a gold relic before he joined us. Our other guildmates have gotten a combined four relics since October or November of last year. Two of which were purchased and eaten by myself.

What you don't understand is that a tight-knit group of players who all look out for each other and have metas in need of relics has no reason to lie to each other. And if they did lie? Well it would be pretty obvious when dragons start behaving differently...like hey, where'd you get that new relic man? Or what's up with that relic you posted for sale?

I love it when these guys try to derail a good topic and it blows up in their faces. Love it, love it, love it.

Sorry Messremb, I shouldn't have done it but I went and did it. These $ guys need to be put to bed.

This is a good OP that has fallen victim to major derailment and trolling. I hope staff recognizes who has a leg to stand on here and who does not. I really do.

Why was I tagged in this garbage? LOLZ raped T^C whenever we had more than 1 person in an RDA. Ted and I have denied you. LOLZ as a whole denied your guild. The only guild that gave us problems was ]$[, but we still had fun fights with them.

Back when we were active, we got many relics and a few 120 tames. Loot was given to me and I sold and split it. From a few months of running RDAs frequently with trustworthy people, I can say that the relic drop rate is fine.

Also Bromista you can lick deez nuts.

There's a lot of map space out there if you include the Trammel and other maps. Unless I'm mistaken you can remove the trammel rules from the trammel map. Ilsh has a bunch of good dungeon space. Anyways...

RDA's to me became nearly pointless to me after seeing the same one for the 8th time. If the spawns changed up sure cool I'd go for it otherwise it's no different to me than recalling into a place to hunt and leaving. Sure tons of Glowing Runes are dropped and most people don't even loot them.

Have a wider selection of possibilities for each location as far as spawn and drops. Milking the same cow everyday is no fun. Personally dungeons became more interesting with the gargoyle alchemists running around. Those random moments of "Oh fuck this spawned" keeps everyone on their toes.

All in all my rambling says Random should be indeed more Random.

Wrong, and wrong.

But thanks for taking a page out of the apparent UO trash talk handbook by lying about stuff.

Cool talk.

First off nothing you stated here is an argument against any of my ideas. Apart from accusations, opinion, and simple disagreeing, your post doesn't provide anything. Do you have actual arguments for why no change is needed?

Also with a % based drop system it is totally possible to do 90 RDAs with no relic drops.

How does knowing how many RDAs are up make it easier? You still have to go out and track them to find them, then complete them. All it changes is to let you know if you can stop searching.

like I said I don't want relics to be super common, but currently the drop rate is so low that even seeing relics hit the forums is rare. I think an increase is in order, and I know many staff members agree.

Also, Bromista, please keep the flaming to a minimum in this thread, I want to keep it on track not have it devolve into a flame war.

fact is you did not do 90 rdas and no relics dropped there is no way sorry dude.

i done many rdas. it is one of the easiest ways to make gold in the game.

we took a break so u guys started doing them, you want to benefit more from them.

they dont need changed because THEY ARE THE EASIEST WAY IN THE GAME TO MAKE GOLD.
