Good afternoon everyone!
I'm was surprised to find an active community and after reading the rules it appears a post is in order to introduce myself.
I have been playing UO for many years going back to 2001. I've always preferred crafting and collecting of items to decorate or things otherwise considered "rare". I was lucky enough to be involved with a few great guild pretty much all of my time spent playing this game. This allowed me to explore all aspects of the game and try out multiple character templates. For years I tried to enrol into the counsellor program or seer program, but due to being too young at the time, did not qualify. Finally I ended up getting involved in the Companion program where I eventually was robed. Prior to the program ending, I use to spend most of my time helping new players learn the game. After a 5-6 year break I decided to come back and for the last 8 months have really been enjoying my time.
My issue today is that many of the items are tedious, and as such I was hoping to further improve my game experience. Seeing as I've been playing the game for over 10 years now, I don't feel bad about having something help me along the way.
My real life experience contains programming knowledge and so I'm hoping that I might also be able to contribute back to the community and/or help with testing and bug submissions. I figure if I can write PHP / Perl / CSS / JavaScript this also has to be doable.
I look forward to getting to know you guys!
