I'm not betting on that one Twinkle McNugget. Lets just have a little fun here in my 10+ years playing this game I have met only a hand full of people who today at this time are not using some sort of scripts. Now lets say just for fun that UO has 100,000 subscribers which I know is total crap because probably half of those subscribers are people like me who have more then 1 account. Lets say that UO servers Identify 30,000 people who are using scripts then they ban all of those 30,000 accounts. Now how many of those 30,000 accounts might be owned by someone who has more then 1 account. Well let me tell ya if 1 of my accounts gets baned I'm shutting down the other 3 lol. So essentually that 30,000 could turn into approximatly 40-50,000 now your talking about baning over half of your current player base for scripting. That's Insane, I didn't take business class but to go from 100 profit a week to 50 sucks! guess you don't have to be a college graduate to figure that one out. And they are right about the word of mouth except they have it backwards. Law of averages for every 1 negative thing a person will tell 10 people and for every positive thing a person will tell 1 other person. So by the end of it Snuffy, larry, and George will have been banned for using a scripts to bake cakes for an in game birthday celebration. Then you'll have other people get angry and turn their stuff off and no one likes playing alone so others quit... Nasty spiral of effects here they are better off worrying about CE and speeders.
