Hello,
my name is Tarim and I am a UO-loving guy from Germany in the age of 24. In my non-UO life im backend developer in a startup and a part-time student for a Master degree in computer science. I dont really no anymore how many years ago i did start playing UO exactly, but it was because the man of my cousin introduce me to the game with a test account on Drachenfels (i believe...its really some years since than).
After i couldn't get a subscription i played on a long list of freeshard, which where mainly RP-Shards based on Sphere and later RunUO. On the RP-shards i tended to crafters, someday end to be a staff member on some shards and became a scripter for Sphere. Because Sphere was so unmigthy i started with Perl to write generators for Sphere scripts. Please dont ask why i used perl. But i can tell you i really hate that language now. UO was the cause for becoming a computer scientist and progammer ;)
I got to a project named UO Mittelerde (UO Middleearth) where we made something completly different out of UO. We started with Sphere and switched to RunUO because the complexness we wanted to do. Mostly of middleearth was build in UO with new graphics, animations, sounds, new game rules. It end with the development of a new UO client. Started with beta and than came the trademark issue. Problem could have been we where higher ranked on google as a certain game. The first end of my UO life.
After some time i started to play again, still freeshard but a fun shard(german) now. Really used the game mechanics of UO in the whole the first time and started to love the complexity. After some time i found EasyUO and started to modify scripts i found on the sides for my own proposes, later i have written own script to, but never made them public. Somehow, as the young guy i was, i never came to the idea to give something back. School finished, became a student. Second end of my UO life.
Some weeks ago I found my UO files again and looked for a german shard again and had to findout, that there isnt a freeshard like i like them anymore and had to look for foreign shards. I was looking for a fun-shard, because one of the thing i dont like on OSI-UO is the skillcap. Personal taste ;).
I used some of the old easyuo scripts and played UO again. The shard works on UO Underworld, so many of the scripts didnt work anymore and looked on easyuo site again to findout about OpenEUO. I tried it, but didnt liked it. Many of the scripts doesnt work anymore, so started to script myself but had the tooling. No IDE ;)
My new project is know to write some basic support for the classic EasyUO for Eclipse. Nothing more than some basic syntax parsing and completion, nearly no highlighting but probably i can publish it in some time.
Googled for something in that context and land on this site. Registered. Being now here :)

PS: Hope most of my introduction make sense. I have many false friends in the english language.
