Hi all
My UO playing days go all the way back to 1997 (but not from the first day UO opened). My son was 7 and played UO although he always insisted on going up to the Brit Crossroads and thought the pkers who hung there were his friends! UO taught him to spell and type! I was lucky and eventually got a house on a mining wall and used to spend all night macroing through the wall and gathering the ore... can't do that these days! Then I learned boat mining up on minoc wall... that was pretty good too.
The UO music always invokes a response in my heart. A total addict back then but I cold turkey'd and walked away from the game during the OSI 'sacking' of the volunteers and bringing in of overseas support. When the smurfs died, I swore I would never give OSI another cent of my money and closed all my accounts.
I wandered in the desert looking for another game. I played WOW for quite awhile but it didn't have the same long term pull on my heart. Then I tried the free shards for awhile and did quite well there. But it didn't really have the trading that I liked and the numbers to support my vendor addiction! I left for awhile but about six months ago I returned to the free shards but they kept shutting down or being unavailable. I finally decided to try a live production shard again (I told myself that EA owned it now so OSI was still not getting my money)... it took me 30mins to become instantly addicted again and here I am, back playing and totally enjoying it all. Unfortunately I have recently found out that it was EA behind the whole smurf debacle but the intervening years have lessened my resolve and I'm having too much fun to deny myself! My addiction is back with a vengence!
One of my favourite things to do is to automate what I can. I will spend more time trying to get a script working or understanding it than I do if I just did whatever it was. But I can sit for hours just watching a script work. Weird I know! It's like watching a fire!
I would really like to learn to script but I think it is beyond this grandmother. Every time I try it is just overwhelming. So instead, I try scripts and try to understand what they are doing.
I have noticed a lot of old timers seem to be wandering back... I am so glad I did! I look forward to this little community... it seems a friendly one and I hope to be a member of it soon!

welcome Starwoman, thanks for your excellent intro! Restricted status lifted.
This is indeed a nice, friendly little community. A lot of us still frequent the site daily even if we're on UO breaks just because of the excellent community. I hope you like it and find a place here!

Welcome StarWoman! Indeed, this game has this amazing way to sit in our hearts for years when we don't play and other games do little to come close to it. :)

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! Great to see such an active site. I am excited to go off and explore... I have my eye on that IDOC checker one... I have wished for such a thing and might be just what I need to go wander the shard and figure out how everyone knows what is going to fall and when!
Also looking for a lumberjack in Ter Mur script... I am sure there will be one here!
If anyone wants a jane doe public beta tester for fool proofing setup instructions or scripts for the newb... please call on me!
