I've been playing UO off and on for most of my life. I'm 17 now and have had my own account for almost 7 years, and before that I would just watch my dad play. I pretty much grew up on the game. Since then I've played many other games like Lord of the Rings Online, Asheron's Call, Call of Duty, Counter-Strike, Team Fortress 2, etc. but I keep coming back to UO. It's not near as populated as it once was, but it still has a great community if you stay out of general chat. Still miss the old days of UO, at the height of its popularity..
I play on the OSI shard of Great Lakes. My favorite character to play, and really the only one I do play anymore, is a sampire. One of the most fun templates I've ever used in UO, and I almost have to use it for some areas. I've been thinking about starting a mystic mage, probably just for PvM at first, but I don't have the money for the expensive powerscrolls at the moment. I've also considered a discord sampire if I can get the suit to work out. I did make a 120 imbuer gargoyle very soon after Stygian Abyss was released, so I should be able to pull something decent together.
I plan on getting into the PvP scene soon, but I will likely transfer to another shard for that. Not really a big fan of the current guilds on Great Lakes. General chat makes me hate them both. But then again, that may just be the surviving PvP community in general, not just on Great Lakes. If anyone has any suggestions, let me know.
I have to admit, I'm pretty much just a user of scripts... Mainly just for skill gain on the more repetitive skills such as lockpicking or imbuing. I've tried writing one or two a while back but it just never really worked out. I may have another go at it soon, but I'm starting school again this week, so it may be awhile. I will definitely make time for UO though.
Hope this is enough information on me. If you need to know more, let me know.
