New member introductions / Good morning/afternoon/evening fellow UO lovers!
« Last post by Beorn on April 12, 2024, 05:12:04 AM »
Hello!

My name is Beorn and I returned to UO at the end of 2023. I found that things have changed a lot in my most recent absence, although many of the people I enjoy playing with and the awesomeness of UO have not! I PVP and PVM, and I've enjoyed PVM a lot the past few months. I'm leaning into the insanity of item properties and having fun making new templates and suits.

When I'm not playing UO--which, sadly, is most of the time--I'm teaching literature courses, taking care of the family, or out running my dog. I've been teaching at the college level for about 5 years now and I really enjoy it. I have many computer science students in my classes who are also avid gamers. This semester I'm teaching a fantasy literature course, and several of the authors whose work we've read are gamers too and I assigned several pieces of writing in which they talk about what gaming means to them. It's been a blast/top teaching experience.

My dog Fido is always by my side when I'm playing UO. He's a pointer and, after a good run, he's happy to sleep here while I try to figure out how to write some javascript (through Codecadamy but would love to know if there are better resources) and pwn some ojs.

Hi to everyone and I hope to be able to contribute to the community!

While playing games in the 2000s
I think it's been two years since I came back..
There are a lot of things I don't know about Ul-on, so I'm still searching..
I look forward to your kind cooperation.

I translated it because I didn't speak English well

Hey all!!!

Returning player to UO... played the game on 1999 or 2000 if I'm not mistaken... not decided to make just to check how things are and guess what? addicted again hahahahaha

Nice to see the game is still alive and lots of players online! Currently on Atlantic, trying to relearn how to play =]

I'm from Brazil, 40 yrs old, and now with a son (10yrs old) and married... kind of harder to find moments to p-lay, but we always find a way to connect a bit at least

Hi all! Take 2, I think I may have deleted my first intro.

Groggychemist here, I'm a dude in my thirties who's played UO on and off for years, and the older I get the more I want to learn!

I'm hoping ScriptUO can help me dive deeper into some things I missed when I was younger while playing the game, and become more efficient at the game.

Thanks all!

~Cheers~

After looking at the examples for introductions a bit more, it looks like I might have to expand a bit.

I started playing UO in the early 2000s under my brother's account and immediately became addicted to the game despite being very young.

My first character was a mage tamer and I was hooked! So much so that my dad actually banned me from playing the game for a year because of my addiction. (One day he caught me up at like 2 am before I was supposed to play baseball the next morning) Oddly enough after that incident he just let me keep playing video games so here I am 20 years later and I still play the game on and off!

I've tried many iterations of the game, and taken breaks here and there, but always kept coming back to UO.

I'm hoping to be able to have access to ScriptUO so I can gain a deeper insight into some of the more interesting parts of the game, as well as make things more efficient so I can use what limited time I have to play better!

Hopefully this is a bit better than my 2 sentence intro.

Thanks guys,
Groggychemist

Annnnd one more edit to give an even better intro

I started playing right before Age of Shadows on my brother's account and made a mage/tamer, I was so bad at the game but I loved magery and taming! My items were mostly crappy gear, but for some reason I had a bag of sending, I was so naive I trusted way to easily because I wanted to get better at the game!

One day I was chatting with someone and they gated me to their 'house' in Fel to help me out, I was terrified of Fel, and terrible at PvP, I said... "I'm not sure, but 'ok'" Needless to say the gate was actually to fire island where I instantly died and got dry looted by the guy while he was laughing. I was devastated, and my brother just called me a wimp. Needless to say it became harder to trust online people after that, but eventually I found my buddy Adam, whom I played with for another 10+ years.

Original Shard was Lake Superior, was there from about 2001 until 2006, left for WoW, came back for High Seas, left again, then started playing on private servers in 2022 after I was burned out.

Been back since then and I'm as hooked as ever.

Thanks,
Groggychemist

A Very Warm Welcome!

Our only requirement to be part of this site is for new members to write a good and thoughfull introduction.

Before we will unrestrict you - you need to tell us a lot more!

Please greatly expand your introduction and tell us about yourself and your UO life.

Look at the sticked examples if you need insight.
I think you will find the effort required to write a four or five paragraphs will pay off with this community!

(Use a translator program if you feel you can not write in english.)
