New member introductions / Checking in after years of inactivity
« on: January 16, 2022, 02:40:10 AM »
Hello you guys. I already posted on the EasyUO forums to find and see what's been happening the last 15 or so years and been contacted by TrailMyx and shown the way to this community.
Things have changed for me quite a lot. I used to be known back then as SorrowMaster, was an active scripter on easyuo.com and later askchopper.com, after EasyUO started a banning spree of some of the most interesting scripts. I developed the first versions of the BucklerDonator (which later I had to switch to something else since UO changed the prices after it took off
) and, apparently since I almost forgot, the first version of the Heartwood Quester. Gosh, the OCR took me days of fine tuning and fiddling.
It was a weird time back then for me and UO and scripting was kind of an escape from reality for me. And ultimately, after a stint into healthcare, it paved the way into a career in software development with me being a technical consultant today.
I'm surprised Ultima Online's still up and running today. I started back in August 2000 and played, of and on, for something like 7ish years if I'm not mistaken. Feels like almost a lifetime ago. I still remember the good old days of melee and healing training in the wall. The roleplaying on Drachenfels server. Being slower on horseback than others on foot since my modem sucked so badly
Ultimately I don't think I'll be getting back into it too much anymore (some things should be left to nostalgia and rose colored glasses) but checking in again to see how things go really is a blast from the past right now.
