Thank you for the opportunity...
I started playing in 2001. My connection speed was so slow, combat was out of the question. I made my nitch on Great Lakes as a blacksmith. I'd hangout at the Brit bank all day n night when I was wasn't out pvming or fishing. Everything I did was by hand for the longest time. I was a solo guy and then one day BODS became part of the game and that's when my blacksmith became legendary. Some may laugh but I found buying low and creating weapons with bods was Amazing source of income. I became known as Lord Toolman (on GL). I may of been one of the richest players in the game at that time. I was the 1st to create every level of weapon from dull copper to valor. Always the 1st as I had by far the largest bod supply as many people knew to sell to me. Loved those days. 1 million gold sold for 50$ on ebay. Then virtual items took a huge hit and I gained access to high speed internet..
Crafting lost it's luster. Pvp became addicting. I fought some guild GM who had the name Sir Bart, they were by far the largest guild on GL and maybe top 3 in UO. My popularity allowed me to recruit over 100 members to my guild called AE (alchemist elite). My main char name was Reno. Becoming the #1 pvp guild was my passion. Recruiting pvp elites whenever I could. O the days. Battles that would go on for hours. This didn't come without a price, loyalty wasn't a quality. Drama took over and the loyal members and I decided we needed a change and moved to Legends. Again many days n night farming the best loot and pvping at spawns was the thing. Legends grew fast as people knew of my arrival and followed over for the action. I was truly addicted to this game for over 8 years 12+ hours day was the norm . Fun times. Pvping started to die out and pvming became the thing again. I've had just about every template possible and really enjoying creating unique ones as well. Farming and building chars was a blast.
I could go on with many stories. Many fussy stories as the last time I was active was back in 2009. Life became to real and I had to step away. Today I'm seeking to rekindle some fun memories. I was pretty basic back then. UOAM/UOA/UO loop.
Again thanks for the opportunity to get back in the action. Good night Sir..
