Hello All!
I hail from California and have been playing UO since about 1998. I still have my cloth map and pin! This was back when there was just a Pacific shard for us on the west coast. I stopped playing eventually when other games took interest and I started generating offspring. Then in the early 2000's I found the wonderful world of UO emulation. I have run my own SphereServers and RunUO Servers for my household as, before Minecraft hit, the kids loved the multiplay and openness of the game.
I assume everyone here likes to tinker with programming and scripting? I once built a bot for a Web game called Grepolis that provided stats for our guild in a Skype chatroom. It even used an API to call to Cleverbot to give the bot a personality and be interactive. That was built in Python and was a great learning experience for me.
Now I find myself learning OrionUO and its javascript engine. It's a great combo of gaming and tinkering now! I have quite a few scripts I've built to date and look forward to sharing them here.
