My thoughts on Statloss
I'm not one to typically get involved in discussions like this but I have to stand up and say it, because frankly I think the majority of the players on this shard are pure bred pussies. It's not just because that’s the way they are it’s partially our fault, we've catered to the players so often that they've become expectant of it. It's part of the reason why UO Gamers is so big, and its part of the reason why its so rampant with fuck heads because some times, no not all of the time like some of you whiners like to say, the squeaky wheel gets the grease.
PK'ers on this shard are not die hard PK'ers they are the pussies that cannot stand to play where there is a consequence for their action, social rejects if you will, that like to go around thinking they are hard asses because the kill a miner who's wearing no clothes and has only ore in his pack and a pickaxe in his hand. They don’t do it for the profit or sport; they do it out of spite. The population of this shard is huge, and it used to be very diverse but now we are running into a situation where only the assholes will survive.
To be honest I would implement stat loss tomorrow if it wouldn’t result in 50% of the people that play this shard quitting. No one wants to work for anything any more, no one plays this game for the FUN that a previous poster mentioned they play this shard because they cant hack it on shard's where skill gain is harder, or where stat loss exists. We are the biggest shard, but in my opinion we are no longer the best shard.
I love and miss what UO Gamers was two years ago, but now I am stuck with this mess of player base. Don't get me wrong, I am making sweeping generalizations and I know that. If you want to complain about me doing it, you will be doing so on deaf ears. I don’t care about complaints any more. I've gotten to the point where I cannot stomach checking my email because people want to whine about the skill gain increases, the reds in town, these things that really have no affect on them, its just that they like to whine.
I proposed a change a few months ago, almost a year ago to introduce stat loss to the shard. My idea was to take long term and short term counts, and cut them in 1/4th. Meaning Short is one hour and long is eight hours. At this point if you are a murderer and you die, you get punished. Of course everyone here freaks out when it comes to being held accountable for their actions. If you go out on this shard and you kill someone, you should make the decision when you see them "is this person worth killing". You shouldn't be killing people on this shard like they are a hind in the woods, because that's not going to keep people around, regardless of how easy it is to go restock, because for them it just isn't any fun.
If you guys actually loved this shard, you'd be cheering for stat loss. It seperates you pussy PK'ers from the PVP'ers. There is a real distinction that exists there, but we don’t have it on Hybrid. If you want to PVP, you should join factions or order/chaos. If you want to PK, you should know you have a shot at getting your ass handed to you for doing so. Implementing stat loss should encourage players to group up, pk's and blues rolling together, order/chaos rolling together and factions rolling together to kill the enemy, be it whoever that is. You guys that are red and are bitching are the people that are NOT PK'ers and are the people that are PVP'ers, but don’t have the self control or skill it takes to join a faction or order/chaos.
Order and Chaos and factions are setup for the people that just like to fight other people to be able to do so without a punishment, which is where the line is drawn.
So my challenge to all of you who are saying that stat loss is bad in this thread is to shut thy mouth and join a faction for unhindered PVP. It is time to separate the men from the boys. Either man up or shut up, I am tried of you people complaining.
In the end, this shard is designed for fun and that means fun for everyone, not just the PVP crowd. As it stands you think everyone can have fun but you a re not accounting for the guys that are miners who get *pwnt* 24x7 by "pk's" that are just trying to have "their fun" and conversely ruining the game for others. We have to find a balance, and wherever that balance is we shall see, I am not saying in this post that stat loss is coming, but I am saying if you want instant gratification my suggestion is find a new shard or go play Guild Wars because eventually this shard will not be the place for you. UO Gamers is about fun, not just for PVP'ers and PK'ers but for everyone. This is not trammel but this is not Quake either and in the coming weeks months you will see a balance coming into play.
