So the current plan is to just leave them incase somone shows back up no matter the negative impact it has on the sever? How old are some of these accts that people have left houses? months? years?

You know I agree with that. Let them decay or make events out of them. The downside to this is though that the point is to get rid of items and if they just go back into circulation the number is barely touched and the economy may suffer. But with that arguement out of the way Id love to hit some of these houses and see what they have hiding inside.

Just to beat Foray to the negative feedback

These players may return some day and will want their things back.
How do we know they arent alts of some other active members. (yes i know staff can check)
This wont help the lag (just incase he doesnt realize the effect item count has on lag and save times.)

That everything?

With all the lag recently maybe its time for a little cleanup.  You can wander all over the world and see houses full of items that are owned by people that havnt played in so long. Most very likely will never return to this server. Why not clean some of them up and lower the item count on this server. North of minoc I have a house and all around it there are other houses owned by people ive never heard of and ive told the names to some other older players that dont even know them.

Alright cypress you did say that. I guess this thread has taken a different direction so i wont comment further.

Last time I was in deceit now this server could be different. There was not a spawn of 6 ancient liches at the entrance to lvl 2. Let my clarify I AM NOT REFERRING TO THE teleport TO LVL 3. See map. I can understand closer to the end of lvl 2 or even maybe one or two spawned throughout the dungeon. The issue isnt that ancient liches spawn in the second level. its that they spawn so many at a entry point and tend to kill weaker players before they fully transition. I understand people go to these dungeon expecting certain types of monsters.  Destard has the dragons, Shame has elementals, orc cave has orcs. Putting such "endgame" creatures at the entrance to lvl 2 is like putting a ancient wyrm on the first level of the beginner dungeon.

Oh foray always taking the negative point of view. Anyhow its not the 3rd lvl Rei its the second level. Not even the end of the dungeon and they spawn 6 ancient liches right as you walk down

Ive only recently gotten back into console gaming. Just a little though but i just cant get over not using a mouse and keyboard. The small controller feels so foreign to me. 

Does anyone here play anything other than UO? For times when the server is down or you need a break?
The list for me is long  and changes weekly *laughs* Satroys can vouch for me there.

Ive always been a fan of strategy and shooters.

I love the command and conquer series but also enjoy supreme commander.

Still down

I think im done brain storming for 2 reasons.
1. i really doubt anything even an amazing idea will be added.
2. I just dont feel encouraged to spend time writing them down.

Oh you are always negative Foray

How about this for a idea. If the server goes down for what ever reason your character returns hidden so that you dont need to worry about dieing before you log on or if you get frustrated and dont want to return for the remainder of the day.

Good reasoning.

How about a fixed object similar to the ankhs that when used will withdraw maybe 5k(up to debate) from your bank and then bring your corpse to your feet. For those times when you just cant get to your body and no ones able to help.
