I just wanted to give a quick shout of thanks to Mesanna and the UO Team... It's a very nice thing to see UO swiftly approaching its 15th Anniversary, and to also see some of the oldest homes in UO recognized. I'm sure many of us from way back in the day enjoyed the world in which we'd stepped, but I'm sure there were few if any of us who would have thought we'd still be playing 15 years later... or imagined that UO would even still be around 15 years later.
While there've been highs and lows along the way, UO will always have a fond place in my memories. Experiences with other players who have come and gone still remind me of why I enjoy this game, and while there's always room for improvement, a milestone like the one coming up is hard to scoff at.
So today, seeing green banners in front of a couple of my homes, I smiled, and thought back to all of the memories that go with those homes. The two-story was my guild's guild house, literally squeezed into a corner that most had passed by when there wasn't a lot of room for small houses, much less large ones. And the "tower" north of it that was changed to a custom plot was the effort of so much of my guild, particularly a Dingo and another... Jada or someone whose name I sadly forget in the interceding years... but without their quick work dropping 7x7s in a spot that had been vacated, and their willingness to move across the street into similar buildings for the sake of giving the guild a true guildhouse in the shape of a large tower, that plot wouldn't exist today.
Today, I smile, remembering with great fondness, lots of laughs, and plenty of smiles, the Cult of the Azure Dragons and those who came and went over the years.
And I thank you, Mesanna, the UO Team, and everyone behind the scenes that made those memories possible.
