A Trammie or Tram is a player of Ultima Online who refuses to risk exposure to any sort of adverse or dangerous environment other than NPC monsters. Trammies are often considered to be unskilled in Player versus player combat.
With the launch of Ultima Online: Renaissance, an expansion to Ultima Online, the longest-lived MMORPG on the market, developers of the game implemented a new land mass called Trammel. The original land mass was then named Felucca. The two were mirror images of each other with the exception of the rulesets that governed each.
In Felucca, PvP combat, looting, and stealing from other players was allowed. In Trammel, players were, by default, not allowed to attack one another in any way, nor steal from each other or loot fallen players. Members of the same player organization (guild), however, may attack or steal from each other as well as any member of an enemy guild. This change prompted certain players to leave the original land, in order to reside in the much safer land of Trammel, leaving unscrupulous residents of Felucca without prey. Felucca quickly became desolate, and those who fled to Trammel became known as "Trammies", or "Care-Bears".
A Trammie can also be a player who enjoys spending alot of game time at the bank, cavorting with other Trammies who collect pixel crack - renamed and rehued items that serve no purpose aside from decoration.
