Hello, everyone!
I'm a long-time UO player - have done a good bit of pre and post AoS shards and tend to enjoy bouncing around. I live on the East Coast in the USA and am about to turn 29. I am happy to have found a community that can help get the most enjoyment out of one of the few games that are left that still have a soul. Looking forward to hanging around here.

Figured I would give a little more details about myself after reading some of the other strong introductions. I never played on OSI - got my start on the very last days of a very big free shard, then moved on to a few others as the great diaspora occurred. I have always been a light but dedicated gamer, and I tend to like both rpgs and FPSes. I made the awful mistake of trying a few other online rpgs (like Jade Dynasty and Age of Conan) and with the way they seem geared nowadays, plus my limited computer power, it was no good for me.
I tend to enjoy older games, probably because they take me back to old times. I am currently trying to find a disc of Kagero: Deception II, simply because I remembered playing a demo disc sent to me ages ago by Official Playstation Magazine. With UO, I have tended toward being a tamer before anything else, trying to make enough money that I could pad my lack of PVP skills with uber items (yay post AoS). I do not enjoy crafting at all, but the rest of the game is just a blast.
As tends to happen, I quit UO years ago, restarted, quit again, tried to create my own shard, launched that too early, canned it, restarted another freeshard, quit that, and am playing again. I wish I'd kept my accounts. Ugh. Oh well, it's all part of the game.
