Finding myself in limbo on games; took the last 8-months off; found myself here. It was end of September 1997 when, like many, I experienced the awesomeness of a MMO when UO was released. I'll spare you the long stories, but suffice to say I fell in love with this game and after countless games since; has always remained my favorite. I was and am a pre-trammel fan; not because I liked to grief people; because I didn't. I was what was called an "Anti"; but because I've always found the more power players have over code, the more interesting the game as the dynamics become player driven.
It was the Dark Tide server in Asherons Call in late 1999 that took me away from UO. That remains my 2nd best favorite MMO memory. Odd, you'd think as time moved on and technology improved the games would get better. Well, technically they have, but from an experience stand-point; hardly.
I believe I've managed to find my old account; which is somewhat amazing; but prior to activating it thought I'd start a trial account, expecting to get bored and move on. Interestingly, I've become addicted again but very concerned by the lack of players. I live on the West Coast and while I understand from reading the forum the Atlantic shard is most populated, also read Napa isn't too bad so been playing there; but see no one.
By the way, whatever happened to Siege? I mean, I may be remembering incorrectly but thought all players on Siege are red, but now reading it's simply the old rule-set. A bit confused.
I loved the old order chaos guild wars but see that's been replaced as well and feels a bit watered down but would love some feedback on that.
Just saying hey and if there are any guilds with active members that enjoy pvp, please let me know how to reach you. I'm open to what shard I play on as I would think any returning player would need to be.
PS: Why doesn't the game save my UI Settings? Not a big deal but a bit annoying.
