New member introductions / Greetings from a subpar UO player
« on: October 04, 2016, 03:35:48 PM »
Hello everyone, I'm Jag.
I've been playing UO since ~2001, mostly returning to freeshards to scratch the UO itch that always seems to come up. I recently bit the bullet and reactivated by account on Atlantic and have been loving it.
Looking back on my history on Atlantic and UO in general, I believe 'mediocre' is probably the most accurate word to describe myself. Starting as a kid playing with some friends from middle school, my first house was earned through constant begging - begging my mom, of course, to spend the $25 on eBay for a idyllic small tower in the center of the gorgeous swamps of Trinsic.
The apex of my UO career was stumbling across an event back in 2003ish. At the time, I was, of course, PKing those players who RP as orcs with... my tamer (being subpar and all that). When the event started in the nearby Orc Fort, I, being in the right place at the right time, most definitely by fate, was able to loot this unique helm - the Orc Chieftain Helm. Surely you've seen the replica - but no - I had the real deal. So what does ol 13 year old Jag do? 250 quickly earned (and soon wasted) dollars on Ebay. I feel off and on the UO wagon numerous times between then and now, never really amounting to much.
So here I am, back at it again, scratching the ol' UO itch, and finally hoping to rise up from the ranks - looking to finally move away from being that guy in a death robe guilting you for 10k at BB...
