Ok seriously, i think the question of what was going to happen to this shard was decided before voting was even offered, so can we jus do it, open the shard and lets hunt. I have not had my "fix" today and i am beginning to suffer from WITHDRAWALS !!! Thanx You =))))) Did i jus say "Drawals" Ackk !! you are wrong on this...We did not decide what was going to happen, that was why Sonya posted this....We don't care either way, we want to hear what the players want....Everyone has a say....and there are more people to vote..... *clapping* Seriously folks, all I was trying to do was see if there could be a compromise. I ahve no problem with new content. Pete brought up a point about new content bringing in new players. I was just seeing if there were a way to have new content with out a shard wipe. I too want to see the sard back up I am wanting a monster bash, I didn't get to particpate last night because I was working night 6 of a 6 night stretch. ask Pete he wil tell you that is a killer and nothing is more satisfying than seing the corpse of serval dead monnsters at your feet after working that many 12 hour shifts in a row.

I'll decide what will happen.
Well be working alternating shards every hour. The old shard will be on odd hours and it will transform to the new shard on even hours. The Cu Sidhe will be available on the old shard on even number days(odd hours, of course) and they will be available on the new shard on all days except for the days that would normally be leap year. On those days they will be replaced by ice green dire wolves. We will shorten the transformation time by one minute every week so that after about a year(60 weeks) our transformations will be so quick you won't even know it transformed. This will allow for a smooth transition from one to the other.
GMs Make It Happen.

Ok, I see this debate has set off fires, I don't think I've ever seen the forum so active! Lol Anyhow, first I will make a few points and explain some things that some may be confused about.
The Poll and voting... Yes, it does count, and right now as I see it we are at a tie... There are 5 votes to wipe, and 5 other votes divided between the other two options. We are looking at the votes on the poll but we are also considering all the comments posted here in order to understand each persons vote reason. The poll makes it easy to see how numbers are split up, and the comments allow us to hear from each player individually as more then just a number. So both aspects are going to be taken into consideration, the poll and the comments here.
The ML Content... As Cindy posted here earlier, we do have the option of keeping the shard as is, and manually spawning the ML stuff, getting the portals working, and w/time we can continue to look into what other ML things are missing and possibly add them over time. I do know that we have many of the ML Monsters in, some of the ML places are spawned currently, and we can set up portals to them for players to be able to access them. Not installed are the ML quests, and some other aspects which I am not familiar w/at this point since I have never played on ML. I do not doubt that we can get in most of the mobiles, as for the quests, I'm not sure. Also, something else that should be pointed out... The ML version of RunUO is not a exact replicate of the OSI ML content. It is set up to be fairly closely matched to it, but as w/most RunUO content, it is not exactly as OSI has it set up. Especially since RunUO is not supporting the ML expansion or it's content. Also another thing to consider is this... the version of RunUO that we are using is still unfinished, therefore, down the line when they put out a completed version, there is no way to be sure what other aspects of ML they will include in it, which would pose a conflict to any duplicate ML content we add in. Also, as for the Spellweaving from ML, this is implemented, however there are still some spells that are disabled currently. We have our own Druid and Priest spell system placed into the game as well, some may not be aware of these because they are only available on the special token reward vendor currently.
Now regarding IF we were to start over, and allowing players to replace what was lost... I do understand how it would not be the same still, because you would know that even tho the items are the same, the ones you had were worked hard for, and anything on a new server would be just simply added w/o the hard work of it all. Which is why I feel that some are not so open to the idea of replacing everything in that way. It is not the same even if it is the same stuff.
At the same time, I understand the desire to have more content to explore and discover, which can be done either way, as I said we can manually add portals and spawns to the ML areas, they are currently on the shard and some of them are currently spawned. As for quests and such, I will say that there are still quests that have not been set up on the shard yet, so while they are not the ML quests, they would be new quests to complete. Another option is let me know some of the ML quests, and we can try to add in similar quests to the shard. Something else to consider is if the ML stuff is added manually and separately as we are able, we can add some of the content based off of the player's ideas and thoughts, they do not have to be added exactly like OSI has them in. We can change things up.
Now, in one of the posts in this thread, a player government system was mentioned, I have to say that I like this idea, and maybe something can be worked out like we had set up in the past.
Anyhow, back to the subject at hand... I hope that I explained things clearer and maybe touched on some points that had not been considered in relation to this topic.
