"Trammie," "tram," "Care Bear," or similar words are insults used to describe players who prefer the Trammel facet and other facets with its rules set. The term, originally, was used by players who prefer Felucca, but has since achieved a somewhat broader acceptance, even being used by some Trammel players who describe themselves as "Trammies." (Though typically it retains its insulting connotation.)

Like other, similar terms, such as "twink" and "noob," "Trammie" has been long divorced from any particular, specialized meaning, and is often used as a generic insult. Players who you beat in PvP, or who beats you in a manner of which you disapprove, or who does not handle themselves properly in the dungeon Doom, have all been variously described as "Trammies."

Fellie, the equivalent term, is used far less and is of far more recent vintage.

-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 [[Non-player character|NPC]] monsters. Trammies are often considered to be unskilled in [[PvP|player versus player]] combat.

+Like other, similar terms, such as "twink" and "noob," "Trammie" has been long divorced from any particular, specialized meaning, and is often used as a generic insult.  Players who you beat in [[PvP]], or who beats you in a manner of which you disapprove, or who does not handle themselves properly in the [[dungeon]] [[Doom]], have all been variously described as "Trammies."
-With the launch of ''[[Ultima Online: Renaissance]]'' developers of the game implemented a new land mass called [[Trammel]]. The original land mass was given the name [[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|Care-Bears]]". The term '''care bear''' is now primarily used in other games to describe this sort of player.
+[[Fellie]], the equivalent term, is used far less and is of far more recent vintage.
-== Other uses ==
-A '''Trammie''' can also be a player who enjoys spending a lot of game time at the bank, showing off his artifacts and cavorting with other '''Trammies''' who collect [[pixel crack]] - renamed and rehued items that serve no purpose aside from decoration.
