Been playing on a freeshard for a while now. About two years or so.
No cap on it, so i have one main char. A sort of a one-size-fits-all, Warrior, tamer, mage, but not terribly strong on magery.
I never did play on OSI, I just couldn't see paying a monthly fee. I'm just ehh, cheap that way. Turns out that I've donated much more to the freeshard that I would have ever would have payed if I just played OSI, but I'm having fun, moreso that I think I would have had on OSI, so what's that tell ya?
I came here to get some ideas. I can script a bit, just simple stuff nothing complex, but I'm learning. Razor macroing seems a bit... limited for what I'd like to do at the moment.
Oh, and I found SUO by reference while poking about looking for scripting ideas.
I have to comment: One day my wife saw me working my bees and taking care of some plants... she thought it was so, oh how did she put it? Pointless? to take care of my pixellated projects... Now she plays farmville for hours a day, heh. Yes I gave her a hard time back about it.
