Title: So it begins...
Post by: mh2122 on February 03, 2011, 10:21:39 AM
My name is Chris and I have been playing Ultima Online since October of 1997. I have always played on Atlantic but do have a few characters on Lake Superior. I have tried to do a few scripts on my own but nothing exceptional or complex. I have recently returned to UO after about a year off. I have found there are quite a few new things. My reason for quitting before was because I have two young kids and just didn't have the time. Now that I am back I still don't have the time which is why I am wanting to sign up. It would be nice to put a puzzle together with the kids while a skill gets worked on my laptop. That way any time I did have to play wouldn't be spent grinding. I used to PvP quite a bit but due to being away and the changes that have been made I haven't really gotten back into it. I plan to eventually but do enjoy the PvM side. I have found a good guild with some old friends so things are looking up.

As far as game history goes I have played several. Started playing the original Ultima PC games. Then came UO. Next went to Shadowbane, Guild Wars and finally WoW. I don't mind a little CounterStrike or Team Fortress Classic now and then either. I don't play much on Xbox or Playstation but do have a few favorites on those consoles. I just don't like paying 50 bucks for a game that lasts a few hours (Gears of War). At least with UO, WoW etc there is always new content or different things to do.

Anyhow, that is me in a nutshell. Look forward to hearing back!

I'm with you on not paying $50 for short games.. Scripting skills to start and such is very easy, and you'll learn a bit from it to start using other scripts.

If you do end up PVPing (or even if not), there's a client mod in another subforum that helps clean up a lot of the UO Art to give you a bit of an edge in PVP.

I enjoy some FPS games (CoD:Black Ops) so that I can just hop on and play for a few minutes and hop off (it fits my schedule better like that). I miss alot of the old days of UO (back in 1997). But sadly, games change and so do lives   :(
