Ok, about me, here goes! my standard greeting, in r/l & UO is always 'morning' no matter the time of day, and my fav color is purple. i've been playing UO (OSI servers only) since Jan 2001. i'm a retired ironworker from the southeast U.S.A.. don't let 'retired' fool ya, i'm about to turn 46 in August. i've dabbled using EasyUO, mainly for looting, but looking to broaden my horizons a bit and see what else is 'out there'. i'm 99% pure pvm'er, don't care about pvp at all. thanks for the space, the program, the scripts, and keep up the great work. peace!
**UPDATED**
i kinda jumped right in, gave a very limited & brief 'intro' and thought the moderators aren't really reading these things & grading us. this ain't highschool! LOL, after going thru the 'this is a good example' i found out how wrong i was!!
to get in depth about my UO, i'm a hard core, semi-professional skill trainer. i've actually trained approximately 125 characters (not skills, fully trained 7xGM, 6x120, etc, characters) i've charged $50 for skills going to GM or less and $75 for skills 120. i can normally do a character in 4-5 days depending on the skill sets and i'm a very avid user of UO Assist and 8x8 macroer (purely for the UOA loop ability). about a year ago a friend talked me into trying EasyUO for some skill training and since i had limited experience using EUO for looting i decided to give it a try. i was truly impressed with the scripts i tried. no longer did i have to set a loop on a mage & check it 2 hours later to setup the 'next' spell. the scripts did it all !!
the player base in UO has become stagnant and i no longer have any requests for making characters so i've begun to branch out into parts of UO i've never played much. on my 'home' shard i have a dozen characters, all trained for specific jobs, and i'm very adept at playing them. old school t-hunter (provo mage) that i solo level 6 & 7 t-maps, mystic bard for soloing navrey quickly, legendary tamer (because everybody has to prove their insanity in UO LOL), i like to believe i began the Mystic, Mage, Spellweaver PvM craze immediately following the launch of Stygian Abyss, (nobody else had SW at the time hardly and i tested it on TC1 in Ilshenar on para bally & para bloods & knew it was going to be an awesome skill combo. same reason i built a 120 mystic 120 bard (4x120 bard skills) because peace & disco teamed w/ a colossus is just insanely powerful in the PvM aspect) this all brings me to where i am now in my UO. an old friend, who religously plays dexxers like i love my wizards, talked me into building a 'sampire' about 4-5 yrs ago. he gave me the template, verbatim, and i reluctantly started it. he decided UO was boring and he jumped ship to that silly mmorpg called WoW for a few years and i was left w/o a 'mentor' so i put my sampire on the shelf. about 6-7 months ago he (friend) came back to UO (seems they all do that, huh?) and asked me if i'd ever finished the sampire. well, he was truly surprised when i told him another dexxer player had given me some pointers, i managed to get a great suit, and i'd actually solo'd medusa a bunch of times. well, nothing would do but for my friend to take me & my sampire onn a whirlwind tour of all the old Mondain's Legacy areas peerless! i've had to train mace fighting to swap it w/ swords for certain peerless and i've had my share of looking thru a black & white screen in the learning curve but i've managed to solo dreadhorn, paroxysmus, travesty, Lady M, and my latest achievement is Doom Gauntlet.
i'm not the best UO player, nor do i aspire to be, but i've actually loved the various 'games' of Ultima since i 1st played Ultima: Exodus in the fall of 1986. i love the challenge of beating the 'game', not other players. hence, i am merely a PvM'er, and though i do Fel champ spawns & harrowers, i only PvP if i have to. i enjoy helping other players, newbies or veterans, because i don't think any one person can 'know' all of UO. there's just too much to it!!
if i can help anyone else enjoy UO, don't hesitate to message me w/ your questions, if i don't know the answer, we'll hunt it down together! any suggestions, tips, and ideas are welcome also!! remember in UO, if you're not dying, you're not trying!!

Are you still playing OSI servers or have you moved on to freeshards? IDOCing was my favorite skill, but after I started writing looters, that's what got me into PvM heavier than I ever was.
-
BEEP !!! BEEP !!!
-
i'm still hard at it on the OSI shards. invested too much time & money to quit now. lol
-
Much much better read. Thank you for revisting your intro.
-
much much better - look for a mod to give you the green light soon!
-
Thank you Gimlet.
i failed to mention that, because i only play OSI shards, when they announce new content in an upcoming publish, i'm 1 of the 1st ones on Test Center finding out what we're about to get in game. then figuring out what template is best suited and what techniques will work. the Exodus (clockwork) was a major learning curve! :)

Welcome Roadrunner,
Good you revamped your Intro. Before i even werent reading it :-X.
See you around :)
-
Thank you Crome. i'm grateful for all the comments! :D
-
wait, i thought it was "if your not cheating your not trying!" At least thats what I go by! Welcome to the site, be sure to abuse the search button.

See? That wasn't so hard! You'll find a few good scripts here to help your character building needs. The CLAw looter is pretty OK on its own.
It's amazing how many people fight the intro to gain access. I recently banned a specific toolbag for that very reason. Thanks for not being one of those and I hope you enjoy the site!

If you wanted to contribute. The Exodus write up or a how to would be something I am interested in reading and learning about.

That would be a good read. ;)

I'd be more than happy to share what my 'team' of friends and i developed as a technique for Exodus. I'll post it in the proper channel. :)
