there will always be a "end of the game" if you look at it like that, even in uo
I don't know how to answer this post without breaking the rules of behavior on this forum. I actually find that a problem with many of your posts.

Seems like a lost cause, yep. Sadly so seem the religions.

I haven't felt like the new piety system has failed in any area. It does discourage people that they have to wait for more power, but piety should always be earned. Ultimately, why should we try to fix something that isn't broke basically?
Are you aware that the waiting for piety is over once you hit 40, and there's nothing more after that?

Well yeah, what's you point?

We all hit a wall eventually on UO, then we have to find something else to entertain us. Either way people will stop playing for some reason, with or without having something to build for...

The Old system is too reliant on staff opinions . It always leads to whining of player favouritism or discrimination which has often proved to sap time and energy from the staff. Theres usually alot of whining about how priests and religions hold too much of a power grip on the shard yet at the same time some of those same people want to further increase the gulf between high piety priests and other classes...doesnt make sense to me. If its about ambition/status/e-peen then maybe there could be other rewards other than piety...GM made items such as a statue of yourself, a fancy coloured weapon or some special little panties.

We could adjust the current system so that priests/monks could gain 50 piety. It'd be voted by the GM's and you'd need atleast 252 days in a religion, for the HP to send an application. As a downside, we'd take away the current SiC (50 piety) spots.

Erm dude yeah dude uh... the second in command system is not mandatory, there and have been other hierarchies and chains of command in the shard's history.
