I was 15 and installing Ultima Online that I convinced my father to purchase for me. I had seen the box while in a Target and had to have it. I remember having no idea what to do, running around naked since I died so much and lost my things. Some kind soul in lime green armor took pity on me and took me under his wing to teach me the game. He set goals for me so I would learn the game and in return he would reward me with gear and would show me new things about the game. He eventually disappeared, to this day I don't know what happened to him. I eventually got lost again, ganked and lost all my gear and gave up the game for DAoC which I played for a long time.

I'm downloading the client now and I've forgotten just about everything I learned about this game so long ago. I'm going to create a character on Atlantic since that seems to be the most populated server. I was hoping to find a guild that wouldn't mind taking me in and letting me ask questions. I'm much older now so I don't want or expect hand outs, but I would love a place where I could ask questions and relearn the game again. I'm looking to make either a Bard Tamer or a Provoker Bard since I think that was what I was playing when I first started.

Welcome back! The game is the same as it was and yet couldn't be more different. It's the same in that it's still a sandbox. You can log in and simply do whatever you want. It's very different in that a lot of the dungeons, monsters, skills, facets, races etc have *vastly* changed or evolved.

As for questions, you have definitely found one good place, the UO Players Corner, to ask questions. The other place would be general chat (scroll down to "global chat" at this link to learn how In Game Communication – Ultima Online) when you're in game.

Here are a couple of useful links:
Ultima Online Wiki – Ultima Online
UOGuide - the Ultima Online Encyclopedia
