As one of many returning players due to EJ, it's been great these past few weeks catching up with old friends and meeting new ones after what must be 7 or 8 years since I stepped away from UO.
If any of you guys remember me, don't be shy in saying hi or in visiting Cove, the Baronship is thriving once more!
Speaking of BoC and on the topic of this thread, I'd love to catch up with my old mate and Grenadier bruddah Vince Valentine, just on the off chance anyone knows of his whereabouts.
@Lucy of Kenton your avatar looks familiar, though my memory is probably failing me after all these years

Good to see many still around, haven't logged in myself since the General stumbled off home... though i've been considering taking a look in game for a while now but *shrugs*
*raises an ale to all*

Hello Zen here.
Great to see old familiar names. Shout out to Dain, Valfreyja , Kas Valentine, who were three very cool people who I met IRL at a UO meet somewhere. Dain very kindly put the 3 of us up in his house for the night. I seem to recall that we all dressed as our UO characters. It was great fun. I think I went to two IRL UO meets. Many thanks Dain, top bloke
Also a shout out to Busty Wench.
For anyone who remembers, the most fun I had on stratics was when I created a comedy trolling thread under the pseudonym of "Lady Felacia".
After playing UO for a while, I became interested in the Europa role-playing community (ERPA). I created two guilds for ERPA: The Judgement City Judges, based upon 2000AD Judges, and The Surfs, who played ordinary folk, who would also be at the centre of villainous & heroic stories of the various other RP guilds. I handed that guild over to Sally Buttons, who made it great!
I also enjoyed writing the Book of Zen stores. It was based around the, rather exaggerated, characters of various babblers at the time. I still have it, and here's episode one...
Episode One: The Disappearance of Kofu
Rumour that Kofu was missing had started to spread throughout the land. The populous had begun panic, as one of Kofu's vendors had died, dropping all his money, and flooding the economy with incalculable millions. Economic collapse was feared, as inflation spiralled out of control, with the price of blackpearl shooting up to 25gp a pop, with no sign of stopping soon!
Fearing for Kofu's safety, an emergency meeting of the Stratics High Council was in progress at the Green Gargoyle Inn...
"Anyone for a pie?", enquired Wikkr.
"Perhaps we should get to the matter in hand?" Orangebeard asserted, shuffling his chair closer to the conference table.
"Arf! Never under estimate the nutritional value of a firm pie. Wars have been won and lost due to pastry product mismanagement!", Kas interjected, " and well said brother Wikkr. *snaffles* "
Barian leapt from his chair, piercing Kas and Wikkr with an outraged expression. "How can you be so trivial! Can't you see that pies are the least of our worries right now? For the love of Kofu!", he exclaimed.
"Now, now friends.", said Dain soothingly, "There's a lot of love in this room, and I can understand that emotions are running high ok. So maybe we just need to think about everyone's feelings and show a little understanding people."
"Rez kill them ALL!!!!!..... NOW!!!... ", Suldrun demanded feverishly.
"Rez kill who exactly?" enquired Orangebeard.
"Tamers of course!!! Don't you listen man.... It must be something to do with them......... them or bards anyway......"
"And just how have you come to that conclusion?" said Orangebeard, trying desperately to put on his most understanding face.
"It's always them.... they've probably camped so much spawn that OSI is running out of gold pieces to print for Kofu....!!!!!"
Just at that point, Oona slowed her flitting around the conference table, and hovered for a few moments, a look of consternation and deep thought furrowing her fairy eyebrows. All of a sudden, she started to glow more brightly, and her little silver wings began flapping with excitement. "I like ickle pies.", she stated triumphantly. "Ickle pies remind me of ickle wee fairy cakes, which are all cute and fluffy just like me *twinkles* "
Orangebeard put his head in his hands, and let out an exasperated sigh.
"What would Kofu say if he could see us now", muttered Barian woefully.
"Hahahaha this meeting has been hijacked. u all suxx0r n00b f00z", added Wuffa helpfully.
Just as Orangebeard was tugging on his beard, desperately trying to think of a way of getting the meeting back on track without having to tell everyone to put their hands on their heads and stand in the corner, a blue portal opened in the centre of room.
Everyone stopped and turned to stare at the portal, out of which a small red winged monkey-type creature appeared.
"Burp!!!!" exclaimed the Imp.
Silence descended at the conference table, a few stunned moments passed by, then everyone shouted at the same time...
"THE IMP PIMP!!!"

A list of names that used to post on here a lot when I played, 1999-2001. My account long gone now and someone has my name on here. unfortunately i sold my account in 2001 for a few thousand quid (had rare, neon hair, big properties etc) as most people i played with seemed to have quit or disappeared and the money too good to pass up on. I played EQ for a while but couldn't really get into it in the same way. I played WoW for a year with friends and had a good time and thats were MMORPG's ended for me. I still play games but mostly PS4 or switch. I don't have time for playing from 5pm to 2am each day anymore thats for sure, and then during the day as well a lot of the time!
Had some great memories in the game, and a few years ago I did try and put a character on to see what was up with the game but it was really different and didn't see to have the same soul. I have read this place now and then, and its really sad to see posts on the front page going back several months - I remember when this place used to be like being at brit bank, with regular conversations and some good meet-ups. Do they still have the server downtime at 2am or whenever and there's fights around brit graveyard? Used to love that. I remember going for a walk in my first set of Valerite armour and promptly getting PK'd. I think Trammel probably brought a lot of people to the game initially because there was genuine frustration at getting murdered with all your gear and loot on in a dungeon, but I think that was part of the rush - do you recall to the bank and get your loot dropped off, get more regs and repair armour or kill a few more liche lords first? trammel was initially quite novel but once felucca got depopulated, it was very risky being there and not really any appropriate reward for doing so. Figuring out patterns for mining , looking out for people doing unattended macros, getting out of their quick with a huge ton of ingots as a red name appears on the fringe of the screen. getting my first nightmare and dragon as a tamer, and then taming my own as well were great.
I also vividly remember getting my cable modem, going from 56k to 512k - tiny by today's standards - but it changed the game completely. I remember before that you'd often take a few steps, lag half a second, take a few more, lag half a second...rare it seemed to be without that. I remember getting it and running all over the place on my horse without stopping and it was like a different game.
Unfortunately I made my fortune off people probably leaving the game as got into IDOC camping, lotting the gear and placing a house, was a good rush as often 4-5 people would unhide and was a race to place and spam 'I ban thee!' macros, but once you got a few big houses your fortune grew really quickly and you amassed those sweet black dye tubs and neon hair dyes everyone coveted.
I remember not much really seemed to change with the game for a long time, to the point that people got really excited when someone popped up with a neon ice staff. That dungeon was then rammed with people killing ice elementals in the hope of getting one and drop rate was really low, but soon enough everyone at brit bank had one!
I know there is EJ's, but can't help but think if there was a pre-trammel shard like WoW has done with its OG rules and content, it would be popular at getting people to re-sub even just short-term. Even if it was just one like siege.

By chance i came across another thread on here that mentioned Ax Ordren and it says that he and another player called NoeNoe/NoaNoa got married IRL.
Leo was banned many many years ago for duping along with a couple of his friends.. he tried to make many come backs but failed, he now runs a restaurant in his native country, morgy is in regular contact with him and goes over to see him quiet often...
Greetings all,
It has been quite some time since my last visit, I just happened to have a wee trip down memory lane. Unfortunately, after a painstaking process of recovering my UO account I finally managed to get logged back on only to find my account had been stripped clean.
I'm grateful to whoever cleaned me out for not deleting any of the characters, even though some of their skills have been messed with.
Not quite the nostalgic trip I was looking for, however it was still good to have a look and wander around naked for a while.
I hope everyone who knew me from before is doing well and staying safe, and everyone else too!
Hei.

Hei.
Got caught PVPing on her own shard so got fired.
Thanks for the info. Pity, she was a nice person and a good Event Manager.
The only comment I can add is the old one: "If you steal an apple, you are a thief. If you steal an orchard, you are a landowner". 'nuff said...
*waves*
Hope everyone is staying safe and doing well in life!
Bijtje has been around on and off, she is in our guild and on discord, used to play with us quite frequently a few months ago, but also goes off to do her thing, not seen her for a bit, but she is always green on discord, and probably contactable.
Ipslore is another guildy, got busy IRL, does pop back for the odd day to say hi. Don't know if he will be back or not, always good to see him, he was a core guildy.

Very much so, been back a long whileCookie. Still playing UO?

My 2 sons play now, lol.
Where did Whispering Green go????????
He's quit the game.
Hello buddy. I just happened to google my old alias (Feersumx and Feersum_Endjinn) and I unearthed this thread. Great times at that Yew moongate, and I remember you well. It's now 2023 and whilst life has changed, I could easily fall straght back into UO! Wonderful game. Hope you are keeping well old friend.Last I heard he moved here, to Norway really. I wish I knew his full real name so I could contact him. Not to reawaken the odd late strip nights he used to do in his small tower, but still
I didnt see you ingame til much later, at the brit forges...
but its odd to see a name, a guild, or whatever, setting off the memory strings to what used to be uo. I guess thats what still keeps me coming back here. The first couple of years in UO i spent walking....and being killed by pk's
And ther's so many names I've forgotten....

Wow this is a real blast from the past. I just randomly googled for Stratics and Europa and found this 13 year old thread.
I was BA Barrackas by day, and EM Arilem / Lord Helrick by night. There has never been anything like UO since - it was such a unique experience. I didn't think I remembered much, but so many familiar names skimming through this thread.
I reactivated my account a few months ago and wandered around, but didn't really bump into anyone. It felt a bit sad actually, probably just better off leaving it in the past.
Trev and Hemisphere... it's been a very long time. I used to have such a laugh watching you guys frantically trying to get the rare item drops from the EM events. Hope you're both keeping well.

Oh my gosh what a thread full of memories! 
I was "Witt" in game and mainly hung around Vesper and the Pot Shop. I also ran The (A)ssociation with Talisman and helped arrange several community events with Sagonari. So many familiar names and fond memories here.
I came looking here because I thought I might try and reactivate my account and have a play around in the old game. I didn't expect to find anyone from those days still here, but it seems like there may be a few if I do manage to recover my account (strugging as my password reset email won't come through). I also had to make a new forums account as I couldn't reset this password either.
Sad to see some have passed on, but also happy to see plenty still in this thread at least!

Awwww, but heey ;-) i'm still a she as far as i checked hahaha. I changed guilds sorry as my best friends are in another guild. I still have warm feelings for my friends in W (you, Dave, Kat, Thor ;-) I am back on Europa ! and almost ready to rock again. I have limited time to play so waisting time is a no go xxx
Heey , you forgot meeeeeeee !!!!
I'm still here , on several shards now, had been mostly on atlantic, a bit on Siege but i found my way back to Europa again ;-) Hope to see U soon again xxx
Heya everyone,
I remember playing UO in 1999/2000 as :
Wijnand
Blitz
Piet Heyn
Wijnand dalxxx my crafter. (yes I used my real last name!).
James Venom
in the PVP scene i mostly fixated on my main Blitz a orange colored Archer marge doing factions.
I remember a lot of the old names mentioned here it is nice (and a shame). to see that so many people have passed away. UO was formative for my youth and helped me fill up a big hole in my life i had at the time. I am still in contact with some of the UT people. I also saw someone had my wedding ring on this forum I think her name was Star. I remember the nonsense with factions, and the endless trash talk. I am however now in my 40s I still have my old EU account but the last time I logged in 2-3 years ago it felt empty and it depressed me a lot knowing the places i remember and seeing none of the friends i knew. Seeing that the faction system was dead.
I look back on the days of UO with joy. I sadly didn't retain many of the friendships, my ICQ deleted, my MSN account gone. But I do look back fondly to the memories have there. I remember talking to Lord Ulysses, crafting with Tam Seeka, being a royal pain in the ass to Hatchet Harry and the list goes on.
Valfreya i remember , Midnight Madness , Breigh, Safreeja. A poor girl (the A was removed by a GM). InViSiBlE.
UO was a great game not because of the game it was the people you met there along the way. And while I remember plenty of stupid antics I did that i am not proud of looking back at it now.

For some reason I had the sudden urge to check back in on Stratics. I'm pleased to see it;s still here and somewhat active. I haven't played UO in years and I fear that the chances of me coming back are slim - pretty sure I can't recall any of my old account details. I lost my old Stratics account many years ago, but was mostly active in the babble thread. I did attend one or two meet ups in London and a few in game PvP evenings at Crest Lavender's house. I see a few of the old names I remember are still around and also saw the very sad news about Barian.
The people that spring to mind from the old days are:
PetraFyde
TerryFyde
Trevelyan (and his mum)
Crest Lavender
Kas Valentine
Shaunboy
IUsedtoPKinUO
Draklon
Meryl
SPA
Zole
Badgersmaker
And many more that my middle-aged brain can;t recall immediately.

Would anyone have the name of that group? I've been trying to find Seriya for years!
Also, if anyone knows them, Lann'al and Vierna, both in F^L.
I'm Charles Innes (Grd)/Lil'alure (V^S/DCL/F^L)/Khaelieth (BoC)/Kusghuul (Various)
