What things will you do differently from IPY in regards to balancing play styles for pvp? (Hybrids / Tank Mages / Dexers / Tamers) I understand if you cannot go into great detail about this. 2.) I'm sure you have dissected every possible attraction when it comes to someone who wants to play on your shard. Whether they be a first time UO player or an oldschool veteran, what sorts of features will you be focusing on in order to bring more of both crowds back to play on IPY2? That's all! 1.)

That’s all!

I hope you see plenty of positives to playing red right now, because you MAY be less enthralled to see things in action. But of course the aim is to somehow make things better for everyone. Examine problems, create solutions. If I'm stupid, well. Believe it!

Because I'm a bad dude. For instance, at the moment, Vanqs only drop in Deceit and Hythloth, our two hard-style dungeons. But for the most part, loot will be just like it was on IPY, minus 20% or so (and something else I can't discuss, but will be super evident). So just think back, remember how that was, and bring up issues based on IPY experience.

You can never ever EVER trust the players to handle Economy on thier own. Those people 'Hoarding' VANQs will sell them to make money, as you say.. And no way ever will they stop and think " Nah, i won't sell to PvPs, that causes imbalance " .. Ofcourse easy access to vanqs etc would damage PvP, its very hard to find the balance though.
