So I shall continue...Don't ask me why, but I have 10 accounts and each account has a purpose.  One day I will whittle it back down to 4-6.  I am pretty much self sufficient.  My characters all make things for each other and hardly ever shop for items on any Venders.  The game has been very good to me as I have made a lot of friends in the game and have watched them leave and stop playing for once reason or another.  I have been blessed with the inheritance of their items, possessions, and characters if I so choose to keep them.  I love to help new players in the game -- true new players not leechers and moochers.   I try and find out as much information about the new publishes as possible.  One of the characters I love to play is named Cortez as he also loves to explore and get himself into dangerous and exciting situations.  And to get the blood pumping, there is nothing like a good PvP match.  Whether it is One vs. One or a whole bunch of reds running after my Justice Seeker.  I have played on Legends, Chesapeake, Atlantic, Baja, Sonoma, and Lake Austin.  Currently, I have made my home on Pacific with a few characters still left on other shards.  I did leave Ulima Online for a few years back in 2003-2006, but it called back to me and I see myself playing for at least a few years to come.
