Title: My Intro
Post by: author-unknown on November 02, 2011, 06:46:42 AM
Hello ScriptUO community, I am introducing myself per forum requirements.  I apologize in advanced if it is awkward; I was never good at intros.
I just discovered this site while learning LUA in OpenEUO. 
My UO history: I first bought UO in the time of T2A, but I couldn't play it due to my computer not being fast enough to handle its graphics (which seems really funny looking at the graphics now).  So I actually was able to play once I got a new PC in about 1999.  I played on and off for about 4 years, getting back into the game again around the time ML was released.  I then quit playing again for several years, and started playing again early this year when I discovered a link to a new freeshard on Reddit (can you guess which shard hehe).

Back when I first started, I was vehemently opposed to scripting.  But when I started the second time, I really got in to it.  I think I was just irked by the monotony of some of the "quests" that EA introduced in ML expansion, and overcame my opposition.

My first major script was actually 2 scripts which had one account as a peacemaker and the second account as a tamer/mage who would tame drakes, gate them to the Moonglow zoo and donate them.  Using this, I ended up getting an entire statue collection.  That script is long gone now, lost when I got a new PC.  My current project is an IDOC watching script.

Anyway, I look forward to contributing to what appear to be some excellent scripts/scripters on this site.

Other interests besides UO: PCs in general, Literature, Poetry, Gardening, music, music, music!

Heck, that was a great intro!  I remember the days when I was against all types of automation.  It took me a while to warm up to it, but then it was like a crack-sandwich!  lol

Anyhow, welcome to the site!

Hehe.  I hear you.  I probably would've quit long ago if writing scripts hadn't kept me interested (not to mention also have gotten carpel tunnel syndrome).  Now I probably spend more time writing scripts then actually playing!
