I saw a shard yesterday that has a system in place that allows players to create quests. You go up to an npc and through different gumps you create a true custom quest.

They dont allow pvp in areas other than Kauldun and in certain areas you say a command then enter and you can be attacked. This allows everyone to fight a champ without fear of pvp'er coming and raiding. You make a char to work a spawn not a char to pvp/spawn. Pvpers are made for pvp so it is to easy for them to raid then let champ heal and kill it. That has always been the problem on UO.

This other shard has a system that allows players to start a pvp quest that has capture the flag, last man standing, and a few others. You go to NPC start it and when the correct number of people sign up you get teleported to the area. Because it was a quest you get a prize. How they do I dont know but it seems to work and people like it.

They can play UO or pvp. And no one needs to worry about it.

Champs are risk vs reward as most everything should be, imo.

You missed the point.

Not about me. I never have been able to pvp. Besides I have every power scroll I need on my chars already. I may need 2 120's but that is beside the point. I was just saying shards tend to find ways to make quests to encourge pvp. The auto quest to set up mini events based on players being there and wanting to do it.

It has to be a download out there somewhere to many shards have it. It lets you start up a ctf, last man standing, 2vs2.... and gives a reward to winners. You cant have pvp without players.

If you read my other post it stated you could throw in a *mini champ* out there in non fel area that does not have the spawn of a normal champ but drops 110's and reduced gold. TBH I only like fighting the champ. I run champs just to get to the end. Doc and I have ran many where I just tossed ps on the ground after. Idea! The mini champ like call it Nedra clone Neira but spawns as random in Ilsh and when attacked spits out undead that can be paragons. Sounds fun. Instead of Coon rename him Court Jester or something. I don't know just throwing out comments. I really dont want the server to die. I just think people need to come up with some ideas that could be done in a hurry to get the people count up.

Systems like this could take months to code. Sure it would have come eventually, but we wanted to concentrate on the stuff thats not done or/and broken.
