Ohh, thanks.  Yeah, I am a newbie... lol..  a clueless one.

Sorry, I'm not much of a forum user.  This is all new to me.

To start with, I'm 30... divorced... mother of 2.  I have 2 girls, they are 6 and 7 years old.  I started playing UO back in 2005 but took a hiatus for a couple of years and have only just returned 2 weeks ago and joined in the stygian abyss fun.  All of my characters are on chessy.  One of my best friends got me started there and that's where I've stayed.  Mostly what I enjoy is the crafting side of the game and I've gotten most of that up to gm at least.  I created my new gargoyle with imbuing and worked her up to 115 in 4 days, manually, which for me was no small feat.  My diligence (and kids at school) paid off =).  I had a red character some years ago, but grew out of that phase rather quickly and let her burn counts to be blue again which took a solid month of online time.  During my time away from UO, I played Eve online, which in my opinion, is the only other game that can compare to UO in it's level of complexity, in some cases even surpassing it.  My eve accounts are actually still active, but for the moment, I'm really focused on getting myself back into UO and exploring the maps and features that are new to me.
