I hate to see anyone leave. But yes, Blaine taking that kind of equipment to a place he knows reds frequent isn't the smartest idea he's had. The zergs have chased people away, but EQMS isn't the only one now. $, Power, are all gaining ranks. We've dealt with them more then EQMS lately in dungeons, champs, etc.
This IS uo. And there is no trammel here. There are risks. There are issues that need looked at but like someone else said, on ANY uo shard, reds would have killed and looted him as well.
Glutt our alliance is big, but we have more pvmers than pvpers and you know this so stop using it as example of how we should be rolling eqms. Like comparing apples and oranges dude. Doesn't work. We are currently trying to beef up our guard btw, so watch your backs
Karl is right. People need to do more about things in game than expexting changes and tweaks. The fact this shard does have large pk zergs is actually a good sign. When there's no more reds, the shard dies. There's no more risk. There's no more need for people tofind a guild. Because UO alone is not always the most exciting game. If you come here to play to win, it's not the game for you.
UO is about community. Make fun of it all you want, but the zergs are here because it's fun to play with other people. It's fun to be in TS or Mumble and shoot the shit. You have to find something besides the game to keep you happy here because there are days the game pisses you off so bad you can throw your computer against the wall. But you come back when you have friends. When there's a reason besides earning gold.
UO is what you make it, whether you're getting zerged or farming alone. Eventually one is as bad as the other.
