Hi there...new to these boards but have been playing UO for quite some time.  My home shard was Atlantic where I made many friends and had many a great adventures.  It was one hell of a ride.  Unfortunately, with the economic down turn where I live, I had to sell all my accounts which was heartbreaking for me.  I'm just now exploring the world of free shards as I have yet to come across any game which even compares. (I can't bring myself to go back to osi at the moment and start from scratch after all the time I put in just to lose everything.)  Anyhow, I look forward to being part of an active community around here.
