I must say I LOL'd a little when I realized that Cheffe had taken the name "Cook" here! I remember raising blacksmithy to 120 by hand and literally 1 day later, an old UO friend told me "Why didn't you just use EUO?" And EUO kept me playing for 10 years longer than I should have played! Hehe. I finally retired from UO almost a year ago, but thought I'd poke my head in and say Thanks for all that you did for the UO community. Maybe one day EA (or I guess Broadsword?) will send you a check for all the subscriptions you helped keep in the game!
*must resist urge to reopen UO account*
