Hiya ScriptUO community,
Didn't give an intro back when I registered before, but I remember this was a great place to get info and scripts and I think I may have found an art replacement here a while back too. Anyway, here's a little bit about me
I have been playing UO since 1998, and have gone through periods of not playing UO and playing UO on OSI and freeshards. There's always a new flashy game to play, whether it be Wow, Everquest, Call of Duty, Halo, Final Fantasy, you get the picture.
I work as a software engineer by day and am a full fledged father of 4 by night. Right now most of my work has to do with C# .Net web applications. I have always been modifying scripts for uo and hope to contribute something useful.
Looking forward to joining you guys again,
Krov

I just read the stickies, feel like a big poopie for not reading them before. So let me go into a little more detail.
I started playing UO at age 16, saw an ad in a Guitar World I think of a girl with a UO symbol tattooed on her back. I believe they were making it sound like a personals ad "Likes to slay dragons.." I saved up money picking pecans from the yard and mowing lawns and scraped up the money in no time! I got my buddy Derek all excited too about it, and we installed it and I created my first ever character 'Ragu'
Well I knew I wanted to play a wizard, so I chose magery. And I knew I liked archery so I picked that too. Next thing I know I'm off shooting rats in the sewers of Britain. Wow this is fun. Saved up a little money and bought some armor and ventured out of town. I came upon a place that was known as the 'Crossroads' where two main roads connected. I remember hearing someone at the West Brit Bank say 'Don't go to the crossroads haha'
I figured, what the heck, there must be some tough monsters out there or something. But since I had just purchased some fine leather armor I should be able to take it. After all, I had been playing for 3 hours. So I finally make it out to the 'Crossroads' outside of Britain and south of Yew. I take a look around and shrug. I guess theres nothing here.
'THUNK'!!!!!
'UUUUHHHHHGHHH'
I get wasted by a heavy crossbow to the face! Out on to my gray screen stepped a RED named character. I don't remember his name, but he carried the biggest crossbow I had ever seen. I was upset that I lost all my armor and my bow. So I wanted to get even. I set out at once at making a thief so I could steal their stuff!
I played a thief/archer for the better part of a year before finally making the transition to fully dedicated mage. I love playing a mage and have ever since.
I play on a bunch of different servers, not currently osi, but I do make my rounds. If its a popular freeshard, chances are I have an active account there.
I have 1 girl 2 boys and one baking still (wife is preggers). I like to bake (yes manly I know), play guitar, I try my best to make electronic music but my music always sounds very meh. I drive a gray car cause I have a mellow personality and I like cats but not dogs.

Well I have been reading some of the other intros and started remembering some funny old times, like the first years of UO.
I have been running around my server hunting IDOCs to get some loot, which is very similar to what I would have been doing at this time of day 15 years ago. I remember running around to boats and houses searching for that one poor soul that FORGOT to LOCK HIS DOOR. And then I would grab all the poor suckers stuff. It was even more fun if they caught you doing it, because then it would be a fight!
