Being able to inject Fame or karma into a scroll, Just like a Soulstone, would be pretty Sweet, I would be buying a Lord/Lady status Daily lol As i tend to die alot. Any thoughts?

Personally I do not like the idea.


Reason being is I always felt like the fame/karma titles were earned through a players actions.  If you partake in evil you move towards dread, if you partake in good you move towards glorious.  If you are able to fell mighty beasts you move towards a lord or lady of the land.


I know on Evolution the ability to mow over mobs that will give you these top titles is fairly easy but to some it is still an accomplishment.

I understand your reasoning, You can take Karma out of the way, Which would leave your Glorious or dread titles, Fame would only allow you to be Lord or Lady, I am red, And i am the Dread Lord, But when you have limited time to play, Why not let others make profit off of your handicaps? I'm sure even new players can make gold easily this way, I think it would help the new player economy. And in turn Help the Vets aswell.

You do have a sound argument.  I am thinking of how this would be coded.


Would it give an easy revenue stream for newer players, yes.  Would it allow them to buy stuff from vet players, yes.  Might it tick off some role players, maybe.  This shard is not heavy on role playing thus far.

Roleplayers or not, don't forget the multitudes of Glorious Lords on any given server who will PK anything that moves in Felucca. At least you know what to expect with a red, it's the GL blues you need to watch.

Yo-yo'ing from min to max karma can be done many times a day; with a little necromancy spamming to go negative, a solid character build and a champ axe to go positive, the karma system is essentially meaningless. If someone like Crimson Reign is willing to monetize it, power to him.

I feel the need to ask you Crimson, why is it so important that you have high or low Karma/Fame at any given time?

  After asking that I'd like to point out the multitude of things that were important to you before you became red, and then ask you the following:

  If it's worth having, yet not difficult to obtain, shouldn't you go out and get it yourself.

  I wish to be reasonable, as well as respectful, but I must close with mentioning the following.

  This idea, to my understanding of it, represents laziness. Whether it is a small or large laziness, does not matter. Small in this case, may led to larger, and I for one want UO to be about accomplishing goals and reaping due rewards.
