Hello! Finally got myself to the forum, and have to start by saying thanks to staff and players of UO Evolution for making such a great shard for all of us to play on!
Thank you, glad you are enjoying the shard
I've been pondering about some ideas in my mind about how to boost general activity around the world and not only in the current hotspots of loots ( looking at you magi dragons, champs ).
1.
World in general is at the moment devoid of reward or activity, could we maybe add some decoration items as random loot to ANY monsters like current artifacts system is, the artifacts that the mobs drop are currently trash since so many custom items here. If we had big pool of decos that any mob can drop people would get something for killing random mobs around the world, maybe add feature that if the player camps some crowded area too long -> no drops. This would have advantage to new players too, they can adventure and kill weaker monsters and have chance to make some gold out of it from the old players interested in deco hunting?
Yes we can look at adding deco rewards to loot packs as a rare random drop
Other items you could add as random drops to "normal" monsters could be new seeds, and maybe as rare reward occasional +5 luck scrolls?
This could be made so that the currently favored camped mobs would be made so that they don't drop new random monster loots?
2.
Archaeology! I really like how the archaeology is implemented, currently its -sadly- not very rewarding, especially since the priceless artifacts have no value -> you cant turn them in to open tombs and they cant be sold to vendors since the artifact fence that you sell them has been M.I.A for long time. Maybe add more decos to archaeology, so nobody feels forced to do it for gear but those that choose to pursue this path and like collecting stuff would be rewarded.
The 10 "priceless artifacts" are merely quest/deco items that you collect to get entry into a tomb. The tombs have many rare treasures. This system will be back after rescripting. It had a few flaws and will be updated
3.
EU based GameMaster(s). The game masters here are best i've seen ever, and i have had my own shard up years ago. I never seen so nice and community friendly gamemasters than here, but we EU players that there seems to be quite bunch cant quite get into most of events since they are mostly done in the wolfs hour when we are sleeping / waking up for work, if it would be possible next time you recruit GM it would be awesome if you would get EU based one.
Yes I would love to find a full time GM for the European time zone, just need to find a qualified applicant that wants to give up their player account and staff on that shift
These are just my suggestions, and would love to get some feedback from playerbase on them! Thanks for your time reading!
