說得真好

不過,Lina一回來就幫大上英文課喔

I think all people playing UO should know this. UO shouldn't be like other
online game (has no loyalty, no virtue). I think it is hard to achieve virtues
in our real life. But in here, you can. Trust me, you really can if you want to.
It is impossible to treat everybody good even he is a stranger. But in UO,
you can. You can help everyone on the street even you don't know here.
Why be bad to others here ?? Why not doing good things you can't achieve
in real life here ??

Could we try to make UO better as Lord British want ?? Don't you think making
a great pile of friends here is a cool thing (maybe the coolest thing) ?? Why
making so much enemy even much more than your real life and torture yourself
so badly ?? Don't you think it is a good thing that everyone say "hello" to you
on the street ?? Why make everyone say "guard" or "go die" to you when you
travelling on the street ??

Please follow the virtue and make Odyssey better, ok ??

先拍個手~
