I am Sam! I mean, that's not my given name obviously. I played UO in the past between 2000 and 2003ish on Chesapeake. I started when I was 12, and I was a pretty a huge noob for most of my UO experience. Luckily I met a lot of really nice people on Chessy who helped me out. One guy straight up gave me a house, which was sort of a big deal since even the smallest houses in the worst locations were around a million gold at the time. A million gold seems like a lot when your only source of income is farming Ogre Lords with blade spirits Tongue
Outside of UO, I wasted a shamefully large portion of my life on WOW and Starcraft. Semi-recently I got into Demon's Souls/Dark Souls. Beyond that my gaming history is pretty generic and more or less looks like everyone else's gaming history: MGS 1-4, FF7-10, Portal 1-2, so on and so forth. Outside of gaming I'm a Bioinformatics student, which a little bit of biochem and a lot of programming. I play a little guitar, I like to read trashy fantasy novels, I hike and fish sometimes. Fishing by itself is a pretty boring hobby, but it's a great excuse to drink all day long and there's something primal and satisfying about eating something you acquired from nature and killed yourself. Like an alcoholic caveman, I don't know.
In the past few years I've found myself interested in playing UO again. I rolled on a few free shards, but the playerbase on them seems so transient that it's sort of difficult to form a commitment. My roommate recently decided to start up again and give Siege a shot, something which we has both wanted to do as kids but never got around to, so I decided to reopen my old account and try it out as well. So far I'm really enjoying it, and as an adult I find it easier not to suck at the game. I'm trying out a Myst/Tamer template right now, for no real reason other than the fact that it sounded cool when I read about it.
Thanks for reading my intro, I look forward to being part of the community here!

Haha, i often compare myself playing this game as to many years ago. I think i'm more patient now to learn more complicated stuff like imbuing, reforging, building suits hehe. It's funny!
Welcome aboard :)
