Hello~ I decided to try out UO after reading many many good things about it, and since I love the old single-player Ultima series, I don't know why I haven't tried it before.
So, I make a trial account first to check it out to decide to buy the game or not.
I made a Sampire, since it seems the type of char I usually like playing in MMOs (melee char with magical stuff to enhance their melee). I was having fun and all, did starter quests and etc. I go to Luna since I read that's like the Main city where players gather, I see the vendors outside and then my jaw drops D= I saw nothing below the price of 500k, and most things were 5m+ - sure I'm not expecting being able to afford some good armor in a few days or weeks, obviously.
But I was not able to find any kind of armor for a newbie, I also looked around vendors in other places. But no one seems to bother to make some decent armor for a newbie.
The game seems to be pretty hard for someone new like myself, all the guides I read for a sampire expect you to already have millions of gold.
Am I just looking at the wrong place, maybe that kind of money isn't really so crazy after a while? But what am I supposed to do if all I can kill are some ettins, which takes me a while since I have to run back to heal every time they hit me, or Maybe this char is not very good for a newbie.
I really feel like getting into this game, since I'm loving the fighting and skills system, and pretty much all the other stuff, but it doesn't seem to be newbie-friendly which scares me, since it seems to be pretty hard to get started.
Will I be able to get some decent gold to get started with this kind of char? Or will I need to make some resource gatherer / crafter to get started (I don't really like crafting x_x)
Maybe I'm worrying too much since I just started =D ~ but any kind of advice for a newbie would be appreciated. Thanks.
