Funny thing is I have one, I am mentally ill & I can can afford to do whatever I want. So, So sorry you and your basement dwelling kind spent 20 years playing this game instead of preparing for your future. If you hadn't you could be like me............ Oh wait I'm broke right funny thing agian this goes out to you and
Listen to me: if you have a mental health condition, i would never make fun of that, i didn't point that out in a depreciative way. I'm very sensitive to this matter, believe me.

Quite on the contrary, i believe we're all kinds of neurodivergents here, which is fine. For most of us (at least, myself) the game can be very therapeutical. And, i think it's not wrong to say, everybody in here is kind of addicted to the dopamines this game produce in our brains.

At this point, i couldn't care less about auctions, in-game itens, etc., i would like to suggest to you to take a few moments of your day to reflect about it: when is it going to stop, where is this path taking you, what are you trying to prove to yourself?...

You have spent more money in a few weeks than what some people take a lifetime to earn through hard work in real life.

It may be nothing for you, but there is this limit where you start to ruin the experience of others. Doesn't that bothers you, not a bit?

Besides that, if you consider the full purpose of this game, it is a grindding game, it feels better to get the good stuff if there was a lot of work and labour envolved into it...

And, lastly, you cannot buy true respect and friendship.

You know what would make me and i guess a lot of people truly respect you? Imo:

If +C takes some kind of public accountability for the gigantic amount of money "donated" you see "to the shard" and say: now we definitely have sufficient funds to hire some new coder, some new scripter, some new staff member.... using the money to directly improve the experience of all players... those kind of stuff... but as always this start to sound like i'm saying something too mystical or obscure to understand, lol...

You know i am a UOEx lover and faithful player, i want to believe there will be a brighter future for this shard, that is why i am still here.
Thank you, and I would love for +C to take action with the money I've spent we should have the best shard on the internet. Your right I don't do this to feel better about my self I just have extra cash and don't mind spending part of it is my bipolar I get manic and go nutz but in the end I don't care. I'm not trying to piss people off apparently some can't handle it and wana bring my family into but that's ok because his is coming.

I would just be happy to have the quarterly Bonus back, we didn't get any this year so far. I am not sure if the shard got so many donations or if +C Is so busy he never got around to it. I Myself I refuse to go to an auction where I know I will have a snowballs chance in hell of winning anything I would possibly like. With the bonuses I can at least look forward to maybe getting something I want 4 times a year and still help the server. That is great you are able to bi pass what you deem as "grinding" Lach, but there are people like me who still play that prefer to work towards a goal or find it relaxing to be able to just Vegetate on some pixels at the end of the day. “It's not the destination, it's the journey” I alpha and beta tested Uo, then moved to Everquest, Ahserons Call, Dark Age of Camelot, Vanguard and Now Fallout and here so once I reach a goal I move on. I myself do not live in a basement, I built the house I live in and I build houses for a living, been a carpenter for 35 years. I try very very hard no to hate on anyone but I will take offense if people generalize.

We should focus more on this part and less in everything else. For what I've read before it should be enough to even "hire" a secondary game master at least while other things take priority for the shard owner.

I mean no offense to anyone but all that I have have done is try and help and have stuff I want all I have gotten is used, turned on & talked about, hated even. This dude has brought my wife into the thing hold most dearest in this world and it's just no big deal. So what should i do you don't put me in a corner I will come out of it chewing on your jugular. I'm done with this.
