Hey everybody, recently returned to UO after a 13 year hiatus..

Hi everyone!

As the topic states, i returned to UO a month and a half or so ago after being inactive for 13 years. I was feeling a bit nostalgic for the game and got to wondering if it was still even a thing, did a quick google search, and saw it'd recently celebrated its 20th anniversary. I figured i'd throw a month subscription on my main account and see how things were these days - turns out i'm hooked again.

I play the Lake Superior shard exclusively, and though a lot has changed and there's a LOT of new content to catch up on, the game still feels like 'home' to me. My first hurdle seems to be modernizing my templates - i dont have as much time to spend building skills as i did over a decade ago *and* im in the IT field, so scripting seemed like a no brainer. Why spend my time grinding repetitive tasks instead of actually enjoying the game? I stumbled across this site, and it seems like a really great resource, both for scripting and for knowledgeable players. Hopefully I'll be able to contribute as well as borrow once I'm up to speed on everything.

As far as my in-game activities go, my favorite character to play has always been pure mage. My main is still a scribe mage, and is probably the one character i dont plan on making any changes to. Since i've been back, i've been playing my tamer a lot though, and i have to say with all the new pet changes, i'm really enjoying it. I also started to build a Sampire, but without the right suit I havent gotten much use out of it.  I'll probably start to build up a character or two on Atlantic, as it seems like some sort of presence there is pretty much mandatory these days if you intend on doing any shopping. I couldnt even find a regular forge to buy on LS - i had to chop wood and GM carpentry just to get a simple 2k gold forge lmao. I used to be pretty big into PvP, but it seems i have a lot of work and research to do before I can expect to be competitive there again.

Funny enough, looking around the boards here, i think i recognize a name or two from my old playing days. Paulonius - did you play LS 15 years ago or so?

Thanks everyone for your consideration, and looking forward to becoming a member of the community.
