Hi all,
I've been playing UO since 1997. I started out on dial-up, playing with an RP guild (don't remember the name) back on Chessy. Took me awhile to figure out that I'd get faster speeds playing a shard closer to home - took me awhile to figure out that shard meant server... I remember when there was no insurance and no Tram, and I would hunt monsters around Skara, and run like hell from every red I saw hoping to make the ferry. I remember when there wasn't a ferry!
Now I play Sonoma, and have for several years. I'm new to scripting this year, though. Now that I've had a taste, I'm addicted to scripting. I trained all my chars the old fashioned way - the "carpel-tunnel-method" - so scripts have opened up a whole new world for me. I actually think that the game is unplayable without scripting, as it currently stands. I work a full-time job, so I don't have time to lumberjack or mine for hours on end to gather resources.
I really appreciate the philosphy of this site and all the hard work the folks smarter than me put into writing the scripts.
Thank you very much!!
