I don't know if this still holds true, but way back when, I solved my crashing in Luna problem by disabling music. Sound effects were fine to leave on, but turning off music solved the problem. Worth a shot, hope it helps.

So despite everyone telling you that the system was fine as is, and people explaining that it was already difficult enough before you stepped in to make it even harder, you decide to just keep tweaking and dictating how people should play.

This is the sort of micromanagement and economy meddling that drove a whole lot of people away, just so you know.

I just happened to be browsing here (played Pandora for a very long time but left a while ago), so as someone with no stake in what happens, here's my opinion for what it's worth.

BODs were already an insanely time-consuming endeavor. The amount of work put in to collect a reward like a CBD is something that people take for granted. I won't even get into the higher end rewards that can take literally years to achieve on a shard of this size. If someone is willing to put in the time and effort in order to amass the amount of BODs necessary to maintain a viable vendor, it should be their right to do so. It seems like you've taken an already insanely tedious line of work and made it pretty much impossible, just because one person was willing to get good at it.

The system was fine as it was. 30 minutes to get a new BOD after you turn one in is ridiculous! If I still played here, I'd quit over this and never look back. Just my two cents.

Fond memories.

If I remember correctly, only a rented vendor will prevent a house from falling. This is so the player renting the vendor doesn't get screwed if the landlord is a deadbeat. Still ways to exploit this of course, just wanted to provide some reasoning behind why it is the way it is.

Ahh Uranus, the butt of most space jokes.

That's a good point, Johana. Never even thought of that. I also would have liked to use Hail Storm more often. Maybe if it was a bit stronger, like similar to Thunderstorm (Spellweaving) with a level 3 or 4 Arcane Focus, it could be useful. Although, wasn't Hail Storm the spell that was causing a lot of lag for some people at one point leading to a tweak in its animation, or am I mis-remembering?

Spell Trigger is a good one for PvP. Always nice to have that in your back pocket when you're throwing out the Hail Mary for the kill, particularly in a close fight. I think people avoid using Cleansing Winds and Healing Stone simply because everyone is so used to bandies and magery spells; why switch when those are already adequate? So maybe if they got a small buff, they would be used more.

I have one. Hit me up.

Xeen! Great to hear from you, hope all is well. A great thing about the UO community as a whole is that you've never seen someone for the last time. Rock on.

I have a 120 Imbuing PS. Hit me up.

I have your bones, Nigel. Hit me up.

Unable to PM you. Hit me up.

Got your back, jack. Let me log in.

Being married......I'm willing to bet your husband was a small part.

HAHAHAHAHA!! You have NO idea!
