Hello all, here is my UO story/continuing saga:
28ish years ago I married a computer geek, she loved to chat, game, all the cool stuff we could do back in the days of 56k modems.
One day she came home with a brand new game called Ultima Online. Being an Ultima fan from day one naturally she progressed into the online version.
For the first few months I watched over her shoulder and teased her when she'd get killed by a daemon or pk'd while out mining until one day I decided if you can't beat em, join em!
At first I asked her to make me a toon on her account and I would goof around with him while she wasn't playing, then realized hey, this is actually kinda cool and it's something the wife and I can play together, so I started my own account.
We played pretty hardcore back in the first 5 or so years of UO, then life and small children started to cramp our play time. We would still play together in the evenings after the kids went to bed, sometimes staying up all night for an IDOC and calling in sick to work the next day
After a while the wife started to lose interest but I still played as much as possible.
We both took a break from UO for a handful of years but ultimately I came back, like most of us do... keeping my wife's and my accounts active and played, hoping she comes back some day ( I tempt her with the empty keep I got for her a few years ago).
Recently I had come aware of Orion and at first was nervous to try it out because I think it gets a bad rap, but gave in and was pleasantly surprised how well the game mechanics work. Now it's time to start switching my old EUO scripts to Orion scripts which brought me here. I've always been interested in trying my hand at writing scripts but truly have not gone down that road yet. I'm hopeful after spending some time here it may spark the interest in making my own scripts one day. I play OSI on multiple shards but mainly Great Lakes.
Thank you for your time!
