Real Economy in UO?

[zolo8]

Hello.

Have any of the Runuo/Servuo Shard every tried to recreate the original UO "Real Economy" that was meant to be released? It think it was meant to be "Dragons Eat Sheep - no sheep so no wool so wool expensive - Villagers pay to get dragon killed - heroes get gold to buy wool etc...... I dont think it ever worked but i would really like to see it. Anyone know what i am talking about? Seems like i am rambling ;-)

Maybe this helps? http://www.mine-control.com/zack/uoecon/uoecon.html

I don't think anyone has tried it. I believe on real UO Garriott thought of it but then quickly realized that players would just kill stuff too quickly or move through an area too quickly for it to even be recognized what was happening.

No, they actually did implement it. But players just killed everything left and right so (like you said) nobody noticed it.

Then they pulled it out.

in my opinion it's better to do planned or random invasions of towns.

ravenwolfe's system makes it pretty easy to do one: https://www.servuo.com/archive/invasion-system.903/

Yeah thanks for the feedback. I have the invasion system, its good but i think i want a bit more random AI.

Anyone have any ideas?
