Hello guys!
My nickname throughout the shards I've played is Zeus. Don't think anyone will remember me, but would be very nice to find someone from the past!
Let's start with my story: About 10-11 years ago a friend of mine from school showed me Ultima Online. Unlike most kids, I would assume, I was instantly hooked. Since the beginning of my gaming days, I always looked for games with a nice story and gameplay, not giving much attention to the graphics. The first game I remember playing for real was RTCW (Return to Castle Wolfenstein), then Wolfenstein:Enemy Territory and then, more recently, Urban Terror. All of them were way behind the others of their time when it came to the graphics but, in my opinion, way ahead in gameplay.
Ok, with that said, let's go to what's really on topic: I am 20 years old now (About to turn 21), I am from Brazil. About 11 years ago, I start playing on a Brazilian server, which I can't really remember the name hahahahhaa... I played there for about 2 years, I guess, until the shard went down. I never thought I would find a new home... Which I did. I found a shard called Krozier's Castle. That's pretty much where I learned English (Sorry if it was not well learned hahahahah). So there I played for about 6 months, and then I got a GM position, which was so great. I loved making events and even started scripting a bit (Which I remember nothing by now). It was great, until, unexpectedly in 2006, if I am not mistaken, it went down and never came back.
Now, I am playing on UO Freedom. It's been a month or two since I came back to UO and I am really loving this new shard. Now we got a new owner (Vorspire), who seems incredibly competent, so I have great hopes for the shard in the near future, since he seems to be fixing everything the old owner ignored.
Well, all I can hope is that this new shard gets its player base back to what it was about a year ago.
Thanks for taking the time reading my little story, hope I can find someone from back in the days, or at least meet new people that are as good as them!
