Hey everyone!
I'm Alex from Germany and recently decided to get back into UO. I guess that's an addiction I'll never get rid off ...

I started back in 2000 when a friend of mine let me play on his OSI account on Drachenfels. I was only allowed to play in Trammel though since Felucca was "too dangerous" for me and I could get killed and lose all his items there.

We also played together with some other friends on the first Sphere freeshards before I decided to try out OSI myself.
I have to admit that the freeshard "Blitzkrieg" (running on RunUO) had the greatest impact on my UO "career" though. I had the greatest PvP and PvM moments of UO on that shard and later even joined their staff as a scripting (C#) and building GM before the shard, sadly, fell apart.
Since then I've played UO on and off on Drachenfels, UOGamers and other popular freeshards and recently came back after a ~5 years break.
"Scripting" UO is just as addicting as actually playing it, although I would not dare to call myself a skilled scripter. My friends and I always tried to utilize programs like EUO for an enhanced experience if you want to call it like that.
I joined this forum to get back in touch with the whole scripting business again and to easy some of the rather mind numbing tasks in UO.

I'm really looking forward to joining your community.
