Hello everybody. New to the boards, just was pointed here by my friend Ultima last night. I have been playing UO since the game first came out. I played on the Pacific shard, and then switched to the Sonoma shard when it opened (less lag for me at the time) I played for almost 7 straight years, then took the last 3 off. I just came back and what a change in the game there is now. All new skills, skills needing other skills to work, new lands...etc etc.
I started off with the old chars I had, many of which were GM's...then I find out that now you can have many skills set to 120, and at 100 your a total whimp LOL! I met Ultima ingame and he gave me some learnin...I started rebuilding some of my guys, and using (what ARE those things..soulstones and soulstone frags to store some of my skills, and change my chars around some). The I started the drudge work of building my chars up to 120 skills..the ones I thought I needed...like smithy, and tailor, and such. It didnt take long until my hands were hurting so bad, and twitching at night that I could hardly stand it. Again, I talked to Ultima, and he pointed me here. I had never used a script before, nor had I heard of uox, so I decided to try it.
How nice to be able to have 2 (or more) accts open at once...and better yet, how great it is to train while I sit here and read a book, or play with my dog. My wife even knows what I look like again cuz I am not stuck down in my dark den clicking away for hours to gain .1 skill point!!!!
Only last night did I even find out what a whammy or sampire was LOL, I guess I been in the dark to long...Now I am embarked in making myself one (whammy that is) thanks to reading all of the great posts here.
I hope many of you old salts will bear with me and all of my stupid questions cuz I am sure I will have many...in trying to rebuild my guys and make em better then they obviously are. I thank you all in advance for your patience with me, and hope to be able to contribute some myself while I am here! I do know a lot about the "old game" when it started, but I have NO CLUE about the "new game" as it stands now...but I promise...I learn fast!
Thank You
