Hi.
I played UO religiously from the summer of 2001 till mid 2004. It was not like any other game I had ever played.
A friend and I had been discussing how awesome it would be if there was a world where you could just go play in with no set objective and just do things. We wished that a game like this existed. Then the next night we were at a store when we came across UO. They only had one box left in stock so my friend picked it up. We spent the next 8 hours just marveling in the world.
The next day I went to three different stores before finding UO.
From that moment on I would never look at another MMO the same and believe me, I've tried a lot of them. Nothing captured that feeling of openness like UO did for me.
I've activated my account a few times throughout the past 10 years to log on and see what's going on. Unfortunately, the population is thinning and things are changing. But as long as I can log on I will still enjoy this game.
I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of tools this site has to offer and how it can change up my experience in game.
Glad to see there's still an active community for the paid shards out there.
