Please make the Grizzled Mare a 5 slot mount, it's incredibly rare and deserves it. Some of us have been waiting a long time for this simple addition.
But if more votes come in and I will be in a minority, I will have no problem to admit that.
Dr A is wrong in his assumptions as to what pks want. Go figure its an assumption. Now he states that housing and deco items are unfair cause they don't spawn anymore. That has no effect on playstyle tho. He sites examples of things that don't make one character stronger than another. He did say tots tho, which the Bo has stated those things should all be turned on.
If all we cared about was looting more why would we want more blessed items?????
Plain and simple he doesn't want his spellbook to become unblessed cause he had to buy it. and he feels everyone else that wants one should have to pay the same price. that =s selfish....
So to have an house on Siege and Sonoma is for me a win win. Of course I know I never have that Keep or Castle on Siege but I am happy with the 18x18 in Malas.

@Drakelord
I don't think anyone has asked for too short a refresh cycle. Thirty, sixty, ninety days? Personally, I like sixty but I would accept whatever consensus could be arrived at IF it were implemented even 120 days.
It sounds like you actually play on Siege some which is great. What about the 100s of plots taking up space on Siege that are never used? There's empty plots everywhere. Some are large plots with just a small shack on them cuz that's all the gold the person had at that time and has never returned.
I prefer Mesanna give in and let us just have two houses period on any shard with no refreshing. Not sure that's even her call. Maybe it's EA that says no.
But as i said i will accept every change will be done on Siege because i just like play here with all our comunity
Problem with the spell books with mods is they don't follow the rules of siege. everything else with mods on it can not be blessed if you already have your one blessed item. the rules are below.
Players on the Siege Perilous shard can bless one item of any kind at a time
Clothing bless deeds can not be applied to items which have magical properties
I like my Siege home.

1) I vote no on increasing the number of siege blesses. I think the main problem with prodo pvp is insurance, which allows players to make 820 skill point templates that create many problems. I think others will agree that the ability to create those templates causes problems with balancing pvp. If you increase the number of siege blesses it may make those type of templates available on siege and create more imbalance than there is now.
8) I vote no on adding character slots because I like the fact that you get to know people. You know who is pvm'r or pvp'r or thief when you see the name.
I don't feel as strongly about the following items. It wouldn't bother me too much if it went the other way.
6) I vote no on removing currently blessed items, for purely selfish reasons. I like the fact that I can carry all the slayer books I need and not have to pick out the appropriate books for what I am hunting. If they were removed I would still carry the appropriate books I need (like I used to do before ), it would just be a hassle picking out the books you need for what you are hunting. Removing the bless would not help the ones who don't have them, it would just inconvenience the ones who do. I agree with Max that the real problem is limited time to acquire the items.
7) I vote yes on passive reveal of some kind ( maybe linked to detect hidden skill?). As it stands now I think stealth is overpowered.
2) I vote no on adding VVV arties because it would make the original versions less desirable and therefore would have less reason to farm them. The main reason to pvm is to attain the rare arties and this would just give me 1 less reason to go hunting. I also don't like the 'give arties' feel of the VVV system.
5) I vote yes on refreshing 2nd houses. I don't like all the empty plots. I would rather see them used by people who actually play.
The rest I don't really care either way
It's less of a time sink in-game. It's not for rl.
Say someone has a day off and wants to GM a skill. There's a ton of skills you could GM in six to ten hours rl time. Not on Siege. I recently GMd two crafters. With the time I had to devote to logging in in rl it took me five days. I didn't have the gold to buy Alacrity scrolls or scrolls of Transcendence. Two weeks later I still haven't finished them up to Legendary tailor & smith. Haven't got the right BODs yet. Don't have gold to bribe up or buy the scrolls. I don't just want them given to me. Players have already been more then generous since I started playing Siege. I want to earn my 120 scrolls on my own.
The reduced resource use is great. I love that.
Speeding up skill gain a little bit can only benefit the shard. The only reason I can think of for players to not want it reduced is the "well I had to do it that way, so everyone else should to" argument. Not exactly looking out for the future of SP in my opinion.
I don't want RoT removed. Just tweaked a little bit. Two and half hours for one point of skill gain for the last twenty points to legendary is brutally painful. On prodo you can gain four to six points in two or three hours.
Why does skill gain have to be so long? It's already hard because you can't buy resources. It's already hard because everywhere you go you can be killed by players who are on finished scrolled out characters. It's already hard because you're wearing shit gear and an Ogre can 1/2 life you in one hit. Forget about dragons or worse.
The biggest reason I've seen production players say they won't play Siege is the long time it takes to train up a character. If current, experienced Siege players really want more players to come to Siege you would think improving the character training aspect would be the first thing to tweak?
+1
Housing decay should return for all shards. I like the long delay idea. 6 months feels fair to me, although I am sure others will feel differently. I wonder if a shorter delay would be better for Siege.

1. Should the number of blessed items be increased?
I voted YES,However, I was thinking more along the lines of a "siege item bless for any item" and a "siege item bless to any craftable item (with or without mods)"
2. Add VvV artifacts?
To quite honest I think its stupid to have a PvP system in place and not have a key component. Esp on a "fel rule set" shard. Also increase the drop rate for all major and minor arties
3. Remove the daily limit on stat gain?
As a side note, they should create "Stat Stones".
4. Should the RoT timers be reduced?
5. Should second houses on SP have to be periodically refreshed?
That being said this is a slippery slope as far as I am concerned. I feel like it should be 1 house per account....period. They should do away one house on siege and one with prodo. If you dont play siege there is no point for you to own a house here. Once again, if your serious about playing siege, your housing should reflect that. NOONE who plays siege on a regular basis wants people to house hold spots just because you can. either play here or dont but DO NOT take up housing on a shard you dont intend to play. if that was the case why cant I place a house on ATL and Great lakes for example? Its the same thing in principal.
6. Should ALL items (with mods), currently "Blessed" on SP, have the blessing removed?
7. Should passive reveal work on SP?
Yes passive reveal should work.
I am not sure why this is off in the first place. Once again, it is system that should be in place. there is no reason it should not be.
8. Add a second character slot?
HELL NO!
- Should the number of blessed items be increased? Just for clarity, this is not asking for the addition of more items that are blessed. It is asking for more items that can be Siege Blessed at the same time. I think this would be very complicated and time consuming for the devs to do, and would prolly end up buggy or making something else buggy. I would rather see Siege have insurance at 3x the cost of prodo. No, you would not be able to loot your kills as much, but the PKs already complain nothing is worth looting anyway and at least then people would be out doing the content to get the gear. Just as an example - the Khaldun event was a total bust on Siege cuz none of the rewards were good enough to build a suit around, but limited-time ''rares'' won't be risked by not blessing them. So very few people bothered to take the time to earn them.
- Add VvV artifacts? Tough call. The way it is now, everyone must put in the same effort to get the same gear, which seems fair to me. However, I voted yes because Siege needs PvPers even if the majority are PvMers and cannot see that. There is no existing market to be destroyed. Most of the artifacts are not exactly uber, anyway.

- Remove the daily limit on stat gain? No.
- Should the RoT timers be reduced? No. I would enjoy having things be easier, but in the long run I do not think that is in Siege's best interests. If a new player is stopped by this small hurdle, then they will not be happy on Siege anyway. It is a kind of weeding system, imo.
- Should second houses on SP have to be periodically refreshed? No. The second house issue was a long and bitter war to get implemented. It did boost population for a while, which was fun, and there are several Siege part timers that still benefit from this. Any change to this would leave me in a constant state of worry over losing my pixel treasures to a bug. The large number of empty or unused plots now is discouraging, but there is still not exactly a land shortage, nor any shortage on travel shortcuts. I would rather focus on trying to get those people interested in Siege again. I would also be fine if they changed it so that no additional houses can be double parked, and the grandfathered ones would slowly phase out.
- Should ALL items (with mods), currently "Blessed" on SP, have the blessing removed? No. I really want to say yes, because I think it is an imbalanced system, but it is difficult for the Devs to take back something they have given. People worked too hard or paid a lot to get those items just to have them nerfed. Instead, I want to see the same items made periodically available, and devs need to pay attention so that new ones do not get added in the future. The Khaldun spellbook was a close call that should never have made it past testing.
- Should passive reveal work on SP? I really do not understand the situation on this. It does work, just not in PvP. I was not able to vote on the other topics without voting on this one (future polls need a neutral option), so I voted no to leave it as it is. Stealth is a tad OP, but it does take about 180 skill to do ONE thing. I am not a fan of RNG, and as it is now neither side can randomly reveal the other without investing more skill points to do so, and I am fine with that. However, I have no issue with improving the effectiveness of tracking and detect hidden skill, both passive and active.
- Add a second character slot? No. I realize that with soul stones and EJ the original purpose of one char (to encourage player interaction) was essentially nerfed. However, even with SS and EJ many players (especially new ones who have not obtained/trained those options) still need a guild and friends. I don't want to see that need reduced even more than it already is.
Sorry for the super long post, but it was a long poll and I don't think there are simple answers. I am not interested in arguing with anyone, this is just so any Dev reading this might get another perspective to add to their considerations on any of these topics. They have said, more than once, that they are willing to make special changes just for Siege, but they need a majority vote. And they don't just mean a 1% majority - they want a landslide. In fact, what they want, really, is a near unanimous vote just to achieve their time to look into a possible change. I have no issue with that. In my opinion tho, I think the team needs to read these viewpoints and make a stand based on their knowledge of UO's code (what can and cannot be done) and their experience with how MMOs work. What we peons THINK we want may not be best for us - or even possible. I would like a Dev to step in one of these days, and try to explain possible outcomes to any of these changes. I understand why they don't, tho, specially for Siege's very... erm... passionate community. Anything they say can and will be held against them in our court of law.
