I currently play on a few different Free Servers. Spend the majority of my time PVPing and doing my best to encourage others to PVP. I Played on Napa Valley OSI from 99 - 2003 where I spent the majority of my time pvping or griefing people as a young teenage punk lol. I firmly believe NO new video game will ever replace Ultima Online for me. It is just so simple, yet complex and open world, and it cannot be replicated. Although II have taken many breaks, mostly due to family issues or deployments, I always come back to UO.
I am now venturing into scripting and primarily just focused on client side edits for now. To me, it is my way to take the game I love and completely personalize it to ME. It is amazing to know that from a visual or audible stand point, I can edit small aspects of the game to be what I want it to be. Remember the ORIGINAL UO music files? Yupp, I want that.
The thing that always makes me laugh and think "oh man, I miss that" were the original Tents that could be placed in UO. I love custom houses, but NOTHING replaces the feeling of seeing tents and the ORIGINAL small houses. Would I be excited to place a small house now, probably not, but I still remember exactly what it felt like when I did. My wife and child are my first love, UO is definitely a close second lol.
- Happy Holidays, enjoy the time off work/school!
