Hello there.
I have played Ultima Online on/off since 1997. Recently I have come back again and I am enjoying it a lot.
I only play on official shards and have played on multiple ones over the years. I currently play on Europe and Atlantic.
I started out on Chesapeake back in 1997 where I actually ended up joining a PK guild quite early. However I wasn't that good at PvPing but I learned a lot during my time there. I remember I was very impressed by the collection of "House deeds" our guild had taken from strangers in the wild. Also the "Skull of X" collection of rivals. I wish you could still get items like that.
I think it was later on Chesapeake when they released the functionality for Tinker's to trap containers that I made it to the top of the bounty board by trapping chests. They were basically insta-kills back then and super dangerous. Also it allowed me to keep my Tinker PK in a safe house without any risk of being killed, hence making it easier to keep the high spot on the bounty board.
Later I moved over to Catskills where I ended up joining a Scandinavian guild that was also quite invested in PvPing. I remember to apply you had to make a new character and call it -DfV at the end. This was before there were character rename tokens, so it was quite an investment to even try to get accepted into the guild. However I made it in and that was a lot of fun. I remember our HQ was totally blocked by small houses to create a little enclosed courtyard. I guess back then there weren't the same housing rules as today!
Later on when the European shards opened I moved over to Drachenfels and later Europe. I remember playing in a guild called GD (Green Dragons) and we were hanging out near the East Brit Bank. That time was really fun actually
There's so many stories to tell from my journey in Ultima Online. One of my recent ones was in 2019 when me and a friend were at a Castle IDOC. It was full of items from the time I had missed in UO (2000-2018) so it was quite interesting to go through all the loot. I even managed to place my own Castle there and that's the one I still own
Look forward to learning more about scripting here. There's a lot of small annoying quality-of-life things I'd love to be able to make some scripts for if possible
Thank you,
