Hi, my real name is Chris and I started UO back in 99 and T2A was in full swing.  Those were great times.  I have been playing on and off since then. A recent series of accidents and health reasons has kept me from playing the last 3 years, hey but I have recovered, able to walk again (with a limp) and ready to get back in game and get some adrenaline pumping in the PvP sector.

Though I like to pvp both dexers and mages. I enjoy all aspects of the game and find myself more on my crafter and chatting with friends than comboing some dude in despise hehe.

Some History

I started out on the Sonoma shard.  Back then every town was crowded.  So crowded you had to push through people to get to the bank.  I started playing UO like any other of the stand alone games like ultima 1-3, bards tale and Pool of Radiance.  I never took in the player concept at first till I got killed.  I was hunting mombats for gold, hinds, cows, bulls for hides and selling the stuff for gold when a red showed up and showed me britainia wasnt all that safe hehe.  Yeah I got killed, got mad, etc.  I also ran into town thieves who took my hard labor earnings as quick as you could blink an eye.

Yeah I was mad till I discovered the bounty boards.  20k a kill put mombat loot to shame hehe, anyways I made a fighter.  Back then you couldn't adjust skills, so I trained swords,tacts,anatomy,poisoning, healing and hiding along with some mining.  After I trained up some, I had a mage friend get me some poison potions off of Poison elementals I believe.  At any rate, back then the only way to get uncurable LP was these potions that costed me 200 GP. 

So I would head to the mining caves north of brit where ton of miners were working.  I would hide, do a bit of mining, but mostly wait for the PKs to gate in.  Like clock work a gate would open with 1-3 pks comboing everyone.  With there mana spent, I would use my pick to make some noise to get them closer.  Usually they gloated and smacked talk to instill fear.  That is when I would strike.  A LP hally, wham.  They would run around casting cure, greater cure, drink pots. Nothing worked. They ran around like chickens with their heads chopped off which is quite literally what I did. Take their head, turn it in to the guards and made mad bank for back then.

Now if you were on Sonoma Xmas 99 you might remember the huge massacre in front of nearly every bank in Britainia.  I was responsible for that. On a whim my guildies and I came up with an idea to make mad loot using my mad tinker skills.  I recently GMed Tinkering and had GM alchemy.  My explosion traps would kill nearly anyone.  So I made a ton of explosion traps, about 500 or so.  My guildies and I would take the traps and act like we were cleaning out our bank boxes. Setting the traps on the ground.

Needless to say everyone had to see what was in the boxes. Boom dead, boom dead. Then the looters and thieves would jump in and try to take the loot off the corpses. Guards my guildies and I would shout.  In come the town guards.  Whack dead, whack dead.  Then we would jump in and loot the thieves and looters.

We did that in every town on Xmas.  My crafter though, was red and ended up on top of the bounty board.  I tried to burn the counts, but didn't turn him blue till faction reprieve.  I still have that character and use him practically every day.

I have other stories, but those will have to wait
