New member introductions / Hey Guys!!! Old Player Returning
« on: January 12, 2023, 08:44:39 PM »
Hey all,
I just saw that I need to do a detailed introduction....so here goes....
My name is Jeff and I started playing UO about 25 years ago, before trammel even existed. Back in the day when you would take a pack horse outside of town to cut logs then a PK would nail you AND the packy on your way back to town and all your hard work went right out the window.
I always played as a mage for the years I played and it was about all I knew, plus my crafting chars. But all hunting was done with ebolts and energy vortexes. In them days, we only had I think 8 dungeons to hunt and ancient wyrms were actually something to be feared. Needless to say, UO has definately changed quite a bit from them days.
Then about 3 years ago, I came back for about a 3 month run. During this time, I learned how to tame and hunt with a cu sidhe and I also learned the ways of a sampire character. UO was a whole new experience for me and mostly due to me being introduced to easy uo. With a background in progamming (Visual Basic and ASP), I obviously loved the idea of being able to script my all time favorite game to help with raising skills and making gold. Unfortunately, covid came along and I left UO again as I had to focus more on my business.
Which brings me to today. I finally made it back to UO a little over a month ago. And while I still love the game for gameplay sake, I have also fallen in love with scripting (which was introduced to me by my brother who has a lot more UO experience than I do). I have written a few smallish scripts so far and am starting to bite into a much larger project with hopes of sharing with the community and getting feedback along the way.
