UO: Outlands Staff Blunder: selling courtyard rune wiping at a premium instead of Felucca land rush.
Have Outlands staff been selling a premium courtyard rune removal service, and are now throwing the courtyard thieves under the bus?
In this follow up video we check in with UO:Outlands to see how things are going after their wildlands expansion was released not long ago. According to a post on reddit, staff have been discriminating against a guild of thieves who are noted for their successes.
Shard administrators show up to the thread to confirm that the discrimination has been taking place for a number of years, with staff criticizing the guild more frequently as their success has grown. Could this guild now be being thrown under the bus for a bad decision by staff to try and make money ...

Ultima Online Outlands Wildlands Expansion - Safe or Scam?
Просмотров 1,1 тыс.2 месяца назад
Is UO: Outlands safe or is it actually a scam? This video sheds a little light on the situation in my opinion which is based on my own personal experiences on the shard. If you play Outlands be careful of what personal information you share while in the game and be careful about what websites or programs you access and share information on while the game is running.

    Played on this server almost daily for close to two years, hundreds of hours. How it's still up and going is beyond me with all the freak outs and meltdowns from the admin in discord, a large bulk of the veteran players either getting banned or quitting around the same time. He just cant handle criticism and always has to have the last word, and then of course deletes any evidence. Theres so many screenshots of it between old guild mates and I

    I am curious why you are so critical of the administration of outlands? Despite the game being a sandbox, a lot of the mechanics can be brutal and smart players find ways to break the intended play to boost themselves and stomp on the ignorant victim, at what point is it necessary for an admin to step in? Or should they just let these players ruin the game for others with no consequences. Just a genuine question as I am mostly ignorant to this situation as it is really hard to follow in the chat, but I think a guy lost 4 years worth of items via a resource stockpile that was on a pack horse from his new courtyard in the wildlands due to a guild mass rune marking every spot on the map where houses could be placed in order to steal from brand new courtyards of unwitting players. Which I admit is incredibly clever, but is kind of bullshit. Just a genuine question not trying to be a whiteknight or a preacher as I personally can perceive Owyn being a bit of a jerk and hard head at a lot of moments.

    • @GuardianOfUltima

      It sounds like admins encouraged this behaviour by creating a premium rune removal service, and now they are throwing this thieves guild under the bus. I'm here to defend all players who are not in violation of any rules, such as this guild. If the admins weren't so busy trying to monetize every aspect of the shard, they would have likely just had a land rush where players can freely place housing as soon as the map opened. That way there would have been no way anyone would have had those courtyard runes in the first place and everyone would probably have what they wanted. It seems like the admins chose to take risks to help them make more money and instead of accepting responsibility when a player lost so much time because of it they are passing that blame onto the players involved. Admins just dont want to look greedy but that seems to be the issue with Outlands imo.

    Aint seen a video for awhile hope all is well man!! I literally spoke out on the wildlands ordeal. Got slammed on reddit over it lol. Said there was over 35,000 people who attempted to get houses. When there was only 5k people online... 3 accounts per person, would be around 15k total accounts. Than said it aint coded to where people with houses and blah blah will get houses. Its based off money also, donations drived people who send in 100k at a time. 10 prev is worth 180k. They can buy whatever the fuck they want. You cannot buy "SKILLS" Yes im aware. Im a CURRENT OUTLANDS player. I just see alot of shady shit over the 4 years i been on there. Very unprofessional on top of everything else. Banning someone for saying f*** off. Clearly got some major head issues. People so stuck on the shard. Yes I enjoy it there. But wake up people.

    Kane is not Expo. Kane and Expo do not get along, and that's ultimately why Expo left Evo, from what I understand. I haven't kept up with Evo in a number of years, now, but I played when Expo left. There wasn't really anything said (but I imagine thats common with staff removals) but a lot of people noticed; Expo was the best thing for that shard at the time, as he is the only person that was doing events any stories that weren't "push the mini event button" on the part of the staff. I'm gonna look at more of your channel, cus I dunno what's gone on with Expo since a few months into Outlands, but 100% he left the Evo team because of Kane and that's when Outlands was being born.

    I saw owyn at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying. The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter. When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loud

    You have to understand Owyn perspective. He is trying to bring the best experience to new players. I remember all the grieffing i had to endure as a noob, and while i personally wouln't want the other person banned, i support a susspension for a period of time. If you are grieffing for no other reason than to be an asshole, then there should be some sort of punishment. Its not as simple as asking "what rule did i break?" Its more complex.

    • @GuardianOfUltima
      @GuardianOfUltima 5 месяцев назад

      If you feel so passionately about justice in Felucca then your option is to go and enact it yourself. It isn't Owyn's role to interfere given the ruleset being advertised as Felucca since day one, and it doesn't seem at all like he cares about the experiences of new players when the last expansion on Outlands didn't even allow brand new players who came to Outlands for the event to purchase "lottery tickets" for house plots there (that shouldn't exist in Felucca either.) Many players agreed that Owyn was going to far with a ban for this, but he did it anyways despite at least a dozen or two emoji upvotes on a comment saying the ban would be too harsh.

    I have some faith that you can put your bias towards the subreddit aside and not let your distrust in mods affect your judgement of players commenting about their experiences. Whether I am friends with the mods or not shouldn’t detract from the facts laid out in that thread. I am also surprised the thread wasn’t nuked but it was posted by a legitimate player who got burned, who simply asked a question. I was personally attacked by triage in that thread for my statement and he subsequently deleted his comments. Other comments devolving into name calling were seemingly removed by mods as per rules, I don’t see a problem with that from a neutral point of view. The op of the thread posted a huge imgur dump expanding on the details of their encounters that you might want to check out if you are actually fighting for justice and not just seeking attention. I know you shadowban comment here until you approve them, this is more of a direct message. I would drop by your discord but it is somewhat impossible to talk to you in real time because of how much you have to say and how little you want to listen or collaborate. Glad I made it into season two though 😅

    • @GuardianOfUltima
      @GuardianOfUltima 6 месяцев назад

      It's funny you should mention attention seeking since you heard your name and hurried to post this novel about yourself on the channel. The funny part is how the novels always kind of tell on yourself, because you have a habit of assuming that other people are just like you and your scammer buddies. There's nothing left to say about the situation, everybody can see how upset the UOF players were that the scams were allowed to continue, and many of us remember the hit that the shard took in when they did that. We don't want the whole community to be harmed by any more excessive scamming, so we won't stop trying to inform players about scams until proper rules are in place. Simple as that. It's just funny to think about how one day you'll need to make yourself available to me and the other players for *direct* questioning if you want us to play your shards, whether you're afraid to or not. Just wait and see, and tune in to the next video to find out more about "my bias toward r/ultimaonline" lol

    The UO free shard community is "thinning out" due to poor community managers that run these free servers. I see the only hope coming from the Legacy UO server simply because they are less prone to the God complex so many of the solo owners get. It's a shame the UO subreddit banned you, I thought they were allowing open discussion on other free shards. I'll add a conspiracy theory here that they were probably paid to promote the server of the month. These same concerns were brought up on the last popular server (5+ years ago) that you couldn't criticize on the subreddit, UO Forever. Then, suddenly, it was okay to criticize UO Forever, and not okay to criticize UO Outlands. Weird stuff.... The argument of semantics with Punkte's rule set drug on a bit long, I get it, but if they don't want to change it, its on them. Pretty low on the list in my opinion when considering protection of UO players (the few that are left).

    I respect your opinions and perspectives on these issues, and likewise respect that you're passionate about UO. I wonder however if you've had the rather arduous experience of playing a leadership role in a large and evolving community. In that position you start to notice that some of the most persistent and significant interpersonal problems originate from a very small minority. In a moderation role, often 0.1% of your community's population are people you are constantly hearing complaints about from dozens or hundreds of others. At that point you start reasonably wondering why it makes sense to frustrate the overwhelming majority of participants in order to allow those very few people to continue their actions simply because they are technically skirting within the bounds of the rules. Part of the growing pains of any community is handling the inevitable situations where a rule may not have been violated to the letter, but the community has been damaged nonetheless and action is warranted. I won't claim to know the inner workings of the particular situation highlighted here, but both the community and moderators seemed to be familiar with this character and his reputation for hassling others. If the moderators are constantly hearing complaints about the same person, they've asked that person to change their behavior without success, and the community is beginning to express frustration that "nothing is being done," it eventually becomes the right call to simply remove that person from the community so the 99.9% can have an improved experience. You can reasonably argue that it's censorship, and also make the argument of setting precedents leading to slippery slopes, but free-speech absolutism is a pipe dream approach to the exhaustingly complex issues that come up in diverse communities.

    • @GuardianOfUltima
      @GuardianOfUltima 7 месяцев назад

      Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but yours is flat out wrong. Action is never warranted until the rules are broken, no matter how much pressure there is to sell the rules out. Once you do that, the rules just become meaningless for the entire community. That frustration you mentioned is likely only to grow and grow as players seek to push the limits further in order to punish the staff for selling out the shard. The end result is needing to sell the rules and ruleset out more and more and more, like on Outlands with protected dungeons now.

    Another story is UO has kept me out of trouble. ( Been in out and of jail/prison last couple of years ). But its my escape from all the BS. I mean there's alot of shitty people in the game but I love the game in general. But yeah man, your free to have your own options also. Evidence or not! Shadow Age isn't good at all to me. I tried it of course along with every other shard there is just about. Its deader than a deer laying off the side of the highway all summer LONG! I mean it looks good the map and everything just crap mechanics to me. Than a (Power Hour ) no thanks. Mr. Riot is who made the maps actually I've talked to all these people on discord at one point. The most mind boggling thing I don't get your trying to do good for the UO Community but your a troll also ? I don't get it ? Is the world gone totally retarded ? Or just softer than gma's cookies come the fahqu on people. There is a TON of negativity, ADMIN/GM Counselor or whatever the hell your role IS LOL. Yeah 35 year + people who have usually dirty as shit ruining others experiences on many levels. I wish the community acted there age other than talking about Meme's chicks with d*cks or whatever else they talk about. I don't even bother with public channels cause of the just plain immaturity in general. Woke ass world! Have a good day man!

    The main reason I have never gotten into playing on UO servers is simple for the fact that there's some kind of drama, favoritism or whatever on ALL of them. Even the good ones. Also what is the audio background for this video? It's horrible

    • @GuardianOfUltima
      @GuardianOfUltima 8 месяцев назад

      To say that ALL shards have drama is actually just another false narrative coming from the corrupt shard owners in the community. I assure you there are good shards out there to play on. Lost Lands is just one example of a shard that seems to be pretty well drama free (and coincidentally doesn't exchange rewards for donations if memory serves.) The audio is just ocean noises, but I think there may be a problem with the track I used as it did seem to be making some pretty high pitched noises or something in this video didn't it.

      @@Dextrome On the contrary, I don't "need evidence" to read the comments and speak about them. It's not like I'm making a definitive statement here, just agreeing that it is *absolutely possible* that Outlands staff implemented these housing lottery systems with the intention of both making extra money from new players who haven't donated yet AND to sell some for straight cash via proxy websites. And it is. I wouldn't put it past them at all frankly. They seem to have shown very little respect for their players or this community, or even their own game itself. Luthius and Owyn have both clarified many times that it is their shard to do with as they please and it's a free game that they volunteer to do, and that their donors are just guests on the shard (and shouldn't expect to have a right to fair treatment.) That said, this channel is about educating players about ALL the things to watch out for in UO in order to keep them safe, so it's ridiculous to think I should be holding myself to the incredibly high standard of only speaking on things I can prove with hard evidence and never speculating at all. Especially about GMs making things to sell for IRL money (castle deeds etc) which is practically a staple of the title (not to mention a billion dollar industry these days..) I mean really, do you really think if Owyn is selling idocs he gifts himself with the lottery that he's going to leave hard evidence for us to find?? It's a hilarious false narrative to suggest someone is a "conspiracy nut" for assuming this is a possibility that Owyn might consider this, or to suggest that it's just "wild speculation." Just as much as the term "conspiracy nut" is a false narrative in a world filled to the brim with conspiracy, favoritism and corruption as you admit it is. I'm sure you'll understand that I can't take all of your advice here, but I will try to make things more clear and concise in the future, so that it will be more difficult for the shills to spread false narratives like these in the comments.

      @@Dextrome The point of this channel is to make it so players are heard, so that other players can be informed, and this is what they're telling me. It doesn't make the videos "less concise" if the comments aren't "well put together hypothesis with hard evidence" etc at all. I want people to feel free to say something if they see something, which is what happened here. They saw 6 houses listed for sale for irl money and poised that it could even be staff for all anyone knows. Outlands staff could also *easily* give themselves housing with their lottery if they wanted to, and their attitude is well established in the public domain to be that it's their shard, they can make any change or do any thing, you're just a guest and if you don't like it, there's the door. EVERYONE should take the time to consider that, and the more people talk about it and make videos about it the more incentive for Outlands staff to change their stated opinion. It's important for new players, many of whom are returning to UO from better days, to have a basic understanding of what *could* be going on in the community before they invest the amounts of dollars some shards in the community seem to have their games set up to rake in off new players. I hope that clarifies a few things about the purpose of the channel here. If the Outlands staff want to continue to behave as unprofessionally and disrespectful to their players as they do, people are bound to wonder. Don't you?

      That could be true, although it does look a little suspicious if what you're saying is true because it would be weird for 500 out of 600 people to be offline all the time mere months after their launch. It gave me the impression that the discord at least had been around since before launch, like their wiki and website and potentially other code.

    Where did this occur in the game? There is one area of the game specifically carved out for new players....I mean if it was there the guy is openly griefing in an area the player cannot do anything to respond to. Not defending Owyn but there is a lot of context missing here.

    • @GuardianOfUltima
      @GuardianOfUltima 9 месяцев назад

      On the contrary, I would say that you are defending Owyn if your stance is that his behavior is at all acceptable, regardless of where this took place. In the first place, there should be no "custom safe zones" considering that the ruleset is strictly advertised as Felucca. It merely leaves new players unprepared for Felucca gameplay, which is where (more often than not) examples of improper interference by administrators on UO Outlands have occurred. Secondly, the onus is on the administrators to ensure that their code is how they want it. For example, they can always change the game to make it so that players cant cast certain spells on certain creatures in certain areas (although in this case such a change might still be viewed as false advertising by some since they've accepted money for Felucca for 5 years now.) Administrators must create clear rules that are easy to follow and enforced fairly, and this scenario is quite the opposite of that. The administrator here appears to suggest that he looks the other way depending on players "contribution" in his view, which makes the current unclear rules even less clear. When the rules become impossible to follow, it just creates drama for the entire community. Having UO Outlands be one big unprofessionally hosted grey area (in terms of rules AND ruleset) is absolutely damaging the entire community and can't be given a pass any longer than it already has, even if the shard isn't an outright scam at this point. Whether or not UO Outlands is really just the 100 players it looks like it is and the rest are botted or not, the shard makes a big impact on the community and needs to be held to account for the damage it is causing.
