Skills Balls/Starter Packs

Great idea !! , i doubt it will damage the prices of SS anyway . Resi and magery ss are used for pets anyway, most other SS are hardly worth anything as it is now..
I doubt players that are established on uof would pay ?k dono ( or whatever the prices will be ) to get a 7gm starter mage or dexer , when they can create a 7gm for 20k or 35k with alchemy..

I hope it will bring more of the lazy type players to UOF :)

And i dont know about forever hair dye, or i dont really care...... I gues they just added that to the package to up the price in dono coins, or else its worth maybe 2k dono at most...

Is the forever hair dye the 1k dono special hair dye version ? or is it one of the more expensive versions ?

It takes no time to level skills on this server, the balls are not a good idea. The ss market and general economy is already totally fucked. Why would you do this? =(
If it only takes a few hours to gm the stuff, then no need for the balls...already more than enough things to donate for, why not add some content? August is over, and the expansion that was suppose to be fully released, is on hold it seems? The stuff that came out was all removed or changed almost immediately, in other words all the ideas turned out to be horrible, and had to be fixed or reverted. No sea champ, the recall and mount rules in these dungeons were again a bad idea, and were all revoked.


The main reason for adding this was feedback from new players was it was too difficult to establish themselves at the beginning. They would lose interest grinding and struggling at the beginning. <-- if this is true, how does giving them a skill ball even matter? IT COULDN"T BE ANY EASIER TO GET ESTABLISHED I have talked to tons and tons of noobs,, I talk to them all the time=) I hang around brit looking for new players to help out, and really no one ever says to me what you are saying. They usually get a few characters skilled up in a day or two, but then realize that this game has no real way to make decent money other than an endless grind! They may get lured into the talk of champs, rda, etc...But in a few days they will realize that the system is broken, and they may go a year of running champs/etc and GET NOTHING IN RETURN FOR IT. The grind doesn't even really come into play till they are established enough, and want to farm gold.

So let me translate, the main reason for adding this is because you are hoping to bleed a little cash from new people before they leave for another game? This is why i left EQ2, because a bunch of accountants took over instead of passionate people that loved the game.
