Hello all, my name is dollpartz, most call me doll for short. I wanted to introduce myself and hopes of getting myself out there and into the social aspect of UO and get to know some of the nice people here since I've decided UO is where I'll be spending a big portion of my free time.
A little about myself, I entered the MMO world about 15 years ago with a MUD called Achaea. I played Achaea for about 10 years and moved on to World of Warcraft. I played WoW for probably two years before I just got bored with it. It has no depth and I needed a MMO with depth, not just mindless grinding. I jumped around a lot at this point; Guild Wars, Warhammer Online, Everquest, Lord of the Rings Online and recently Rift. All of these games just felt like cheap knockoffs of WoW. That's just my opinion, though, don't bash me if you feel differently.
So I sought out something different. I dabbled with EVE Online for a few months until I just came to the conclusion it wasn't me. Science Fiction just isn't my thing. So back to searching.
I stumble upon Ultima Online randomly and I read several things stating UO is a MUD with graphics. Wow! A dream come true!
So anyway, I landed here a true "noob" to UO. I know very, very little about UO in general aside from the sheer volume of UO wikis and forums.
A little about me:
I grew up in a small Indiana farming community. Since, l've lived in Chicago, New York, New Delhi, Paris, Jakarta & San Francisco. I'm into entrepreneurship, travel, languages, art, architecture, scuba, running, biking & swimming (KONA Rohto Ironman). Most importantly, I've got serious parking karma to offset my unfortunate habit of rooting for the Cubs.
