1. What are you missing in
UO and could it be improved by us players?
Players! There was a time, not so long ago, that you could sit in a tavern and overhear several storylines that you could possibly interact with. I have my own rule about those, if someone speaks about a storyline in public, you can join in!
But without the numbers it's hard to do.
2. Do you think we don’t do enough story lines for interactive roleplaying and character development?
I would agree with Kaelith. A grand, overarching strategy, within which we can all develop our own little plots and stories.
3. Any suggestions what could or should be done overall to improve roleplay and get more people having fun at it?
See answer to question one. Be more inclusive with your RP and not too concerned if the people involved and the direction your storyline takes changes from that which you originally intended.
4. For those that left, do you consider returning and what would ea have to do?
Please come back! Without the player base there can be no RP.
Personnaly, I would not be keen on leaving Europa just for events, although if I were to find a shard that had a larger player base, at this moment in time I would consider it, which is a rather sad indication of how quiet things have now become.
