Well, when i first started Uo, i thought it meant it would be just the same old ultima type game only an online version . So i pretty much played as though it was an "at home" game. Then, i started to go off and try this "smithing" thing liek i saw Tenja do. This was WAY back i nabout Apr or May of 2000.
Anyways, it turned out to be a pretty cool game after i finally GM'ed smithing though, after the fact, i found myself sitting at the bank a lot watching Gian and Warlord Rod argue back and forth >
Then i met other cool ppl liek Sangria and Cyn bakc then and certain "other" people for whom i could call friends. Some still play, thought the majority do not. What really sucked for me back then was getting deployed /php-bin/shared/images/icons/frown.gif going out on "war" maneuvers when i wanted my crack fix.
Pretty much though now it seems every time i play for awhile i find myself doing the same boring repetitous things over and over. yea, its fun being uber rich and all, but what the really COOL thing so far about UO is. the friends you make /php-bin/shared/images/icons/laugh.gif Kind of weird putting it this way, but meeting peopl in game isnt too all unlike meeting people in the active army... for the most part, I have met some fairly intelligent people, i have also met soem really cool people whom i call IN REAL LIFE friends, and yet of course, like the military, I have also met the pre-adolescent types, who just want to have fun by makeing other peple's playing experience miserable. Defineately thought, the single most important thing UO does for me is: heh, this is goofy but here goes anyway... I get to see my sweetie almost every day /php-bin/shared/images/icons/laugh.gif yep.! even though we both are seperated by over 3000 miles. i still get to hang out most of the time when shes off work and im off duty
thats the best part for me. thought it does NOT replace "in the flesh" hugs and kisses i still get to at least SEE her--so to speak. All in all, id say i have met the coolest ppl here even if we havent met for real but well blah, now im getting corny
I wouldnt give it all up for the world though, for if i di not log almost every day, i wouldnt get to see Peg at all /php-bin/shared/images/icons/frown.gif almost the same as callign o nthe phone but i get to tlak and "see", albeit a pixel imitaion of her
*thinks*,, yup,, shes the best! one thing ive noticed though about UO, is that my typing and grammar skills seemed to have declined since i started playing
THAT part i could live with out. What this all boils down to i guess, is simply, heh
simply FUN! If i never signed up WAY back i nthe old day, i would never have met the people i DID, never have talked to the people i DO and mostly, id be staring at a wall right now in my shoebox room waiting for my sweetie to get off work. blah. im babbling hope anyones who read this can understand my ONE LONG sentence! heh
HUGS!
