In an interview about inflation a developer said he didn't want Eve turning into UO. I too am worried about that, but not economically. High sec is trammel. Discuss.

High sec is Britain pre-trammel.

Commit a crime and you'll get guard whacked, but you can do some damage before its over.

I don't see it. No one is invulnerable and I don't think they ever will be.

Ultima Online was the first sandbox. Housing, PKs, full loot, all that good ****. The economy was extremely well balanced, pvp was frenetic, twitchy and had an extremely high skill cap. You could steal from people, poison them, etc.

Then Trammel came. It split the world in to two halves. One half was the way it was before, the other half was pvp-free. If you stayed in the old world, you got double the resources you did in the new one, but at the same usual risk. In the new world, there was quite literally zero risk, so the economy got completely ****** and inflated. Everyone went mob-killing (ratting) in the best gear (deadspace) instead of basic blacksmithed (t2) gear, no one cared about ore/minerals anymore, etc, etc.

It was the deathknell for UO. Subscriptions dropped off massively and it never recovered. The game is god awful now, but a carebears absolutely sweetest heaven, full of opportunities for massive gold-accumulation and nothing to spend it on.

Try being older than 12. Then you'll have heard of it.

High sec is several hundred percent safer than it was when I started. It's only a matter of time.

Welcome to Eve. Everyone here is an Evil Sick Sadistic Bastard who is out to get you. Anyone who tells you otherwise is either trying to scam you or use you.

Give me a break, I mean what does it have to do with EVE.

I was playing UO, when it was only U and on a C64.

Likewise, though I can hardly remember it now aside from a vague impression of a map of Brittania and everything being esentially black and white with little paperdoll skeletons and such. Actually enjoyed that game back then, but I was only about 8 or 9 and new to the whole computer thing so easily entertained by it.

I didn't however have any idea what they were talking about though; I though UO was terrible in any incarnation.

I sincerely hope not, but carebears are indeed the MMO cancer, they ruined UO (and every other good MMO in the market, see SWG).
