Hello. My name is Ana. I''ve been playing UO for almost 10 years, about 8 months before AoS came out and while I was still in elementary. I like planting and getting my butt kicked at PvP. I started on Chesapeake, but moved to Lake Austin and have played that shard ever since. I'm currently on my longest streak of continuous UO ever (as in I haven't officially quit in that time), 3 years. Before that I left for two of Blizzard's other online games. Something about UO has always called me back. I think it has something to do about the community... either that or the ability to make an amazing house and scoff at others' lack of creativity.
My first template I started with was a tamer mage, and to this day that is my favorite template. I haven't really explored what the rest of the templates have to offer. The most PvP experience I had was back when every time a pet died, it lost 10 points in every skill. Or was it 10%? All I know is it took the fun out of worrying about my pets dying. Oh no, health redlined!!! Oh well, lost .1 skills, I'll get it back in 5 minutes of hunting.
Up until this September my family paid for my account (officially... I paid them back 10 bucks each month while they paid the six month game time every so often). Now I keep my father's account open as well as my own... I use his account for his crafters. I'm incredibly lazy and hate training. That's the real reason I've only ever played a tamer mage. After 10 years, my tamer still has a base taming of 102.9. Maybe it's Lazy Teen Syndrome. I'm about to leave my teens, though, so maybe that'll change things.
I can see I'm about to rant about pointless stuff now, so I'm going to step off the podium.
