Like many others, I am a returning player. My main stint in the game was in the late 90s, when I played for a few years. There is still much to reminisce about, although probably not the first six months I spent in the game. My main character was a miner, and I manually -- no macros, no scripts -- raised the skill to GM entirely on the iron in the large cave on Arctic Island.
After UO, I spent a few years in Everquest. A few years ago, I lost a summer to World of Warcraft. Both were good games, but I quickly wore them out.
I'm working away from home this summer and had a few very boring weekends in a new city where I didn't know anyone. Rather than do something crazy like be social and meet new people, I decided to fire up a trial account and enjoy a little bout of nostalgia. Needless to say, it didn't take long to get hooked back in.
