OOh i like that a challenge - well dont know what else to say other then activity, learning, playing a wonderful game are good things? Learning new things ( like this site ) is going to be a challenge and obviously trying to please or rather wow someone is going to be a tricky one. Ones person wow is another persons so what?
Guess i can add a few more things, first some humor stories about old UO:
Back way way back when there was no item insurance, no trammel no nothing, you had to work hard for even a small house - lock downs were not like now, well needless to say a buddy and me worked hard one weekend - he lumberjacked, i tailored fancy shirts all weekend, about 13 hours at a time for 2 days straight to get enough money together to place a small wooden house. So we get the required gold together, purchase a deed and we had to fight our way out of the vesper house shop cause of the hidden thiefs back then ( yes you could steal house deeds ).
We put it in bank - walk all over and found our dream spot ( okay our only spot we could find ) and couldnt mark a spot. Now since there was no uoam we did everything we could to remember where our spot was. Took us half a day to refind it again after wandering the land. We marked spot this time, recalled got our deed and placed our house. Now back then no runebooks so we had runes in our bags for spots. We go to brit ( only place we knew who could copy house keys at time ) and had keys copied by vendor so we each had one. As soon as we did that and walked to the bank we both got robbed of keys and house runes.. By the time we ran to our house it was emptied of the little loot we had and the thiefs left the rune inside with a nice note - Thanks for the loot noob...
That was probably one of the most frustrating and funniest things i can remember cause we almost went and filled the house with items before we made copies. We were so happy we didnt.
Got a million of those OLD stories!
Now lets flash forward - playing again is like playing like a newbie, all the skill changes are drastic, still playing a hardcore fisherman, crafter of course, thunter of the lands - wish they didnt change the map spots but its a good refreshing challenge. Wish there was more players though. My shard is pretty much dead but i do like the solitude of it!
