Enhanced Subscription Proposal
Perhaps a Enhanced Subscription for UO can be the next step in the development of the game. The Enhanced Subscription would allow for only one new advancement, that of castle customization. The Enhanced Subscription would not only allow players who play for other reasons to meet their creative needs, but support the game as a whole by providing increased revenue.
The Enhanced Subscription would allow custom castle design at a cost. To reduce lag on servers, lockdowns would be at 75% of normal castle placement. Vendors would not be allowed. To reduce bling, subscribers to Enhanced Subscription for UO would have to choose between lockdowns of rares collected and the designs they wish to place.
I have owned two castles on Formosa over the last two years. I let them both drop just to go back to an 18x18 I could design. No longer would there be a need for a Keep and Castle design contest. With the Enhanced Subscription the game could still meet the creative outlet needs for players who lean this way, and at the same time boost revenue. I propose it would even raise subscriptions as a whole from a new generation of players who play a different way.
Many would readily pay twice as much for this allowance. The game is fun, but it is ready for something totally new.
