Hi, I'm Axenation. I've been playing UO off and on since '98/'99. I started out on The Alter Realm (TAR) which was built upon the SphereServer emulator and I was a total noob for years. After playing TAR for a while, I downloaded SphereServer and played around with it's scripting language and built some interesting stuff, but never went anywhere with it.
Eventually I found out there were open source UO emulator out there so I downloaded a few and the one I liked the most was UOXClassic (UOXC). From there I downloaded a C/C++ compiler and started learning how to actually program things. After a month I coded some things that were missing and one of the developers asked for my code. Excited, I gave them my entire modded UOXC source and they added it to their CVS. Poof!! All kinds of things went wrong because I apparently had modded a few other things and it screwed up their source (oopsie!! -- They did fix it of course lol).
From there I went on to make a bunch of little (and some not so little) games with C++, but lost everything 3 or 4 times due to hardware crashes. So I sort of gave up the hobby, and just started playing UO again. This leads me to the server I play now ABCUO (Based on the RunUO emulator) and it is probably the best server I've played on so far. I've made a bunch of cool scripts with EasyUO, but a few things I deem necessary are broken. Sooo...here I am to learn something new and hopefully contribute a few things as well
to give a poster a reputation bump!
