I joined help but cant figure out how to chat in it, im so bad! LOLOne thing to do is to turn chat on, and join either the help or general chat channel (some shards monitor help, others do not). Ask locals for assistance, and tell them that you are new at the game.
Many shards have guilds that specialize in helping new and returning players. They can help you get established, give training pointers, and even equip you if you like (some players like earning everything themselves, others don't mind being given stuff). Some shards also have homes that exist solely as guides and supply stations for new characters, and finding those may require someone to guide you there.
Awesome information.The chat/speak commands are as follows in the Classic Client, and in the Enhanced Client when set to function like the CC. In the default EC, You might have to hit enter to get into talking mode first.
Typing normally: Talking in game (only people on screen hear you)
, (space) followed by Text: Talking in your chat channel.
/ (space) followed by Text: Talking to other members of a group in a party.
\ (space) followed by Text: Talking to other members of your Guild, if in a guild.
| (space) followed by Text: Talking to all alliance members, if your Guild is in an alliance
: (space) followed by Text: Emoting (puts text in between asterisks, to signify that one is doing an action that there is no animation or macro for). Effectively a Role-playing tool such as emoting *glares menacingly*
There is another key in that area that does Whispers (only visible to people standing immediately next to you - but pets hear anywhere on screen). Some people have macros set to whisper pet commands while simultaneously saying/emoting a more RP-worthy command. Such as Whispering "All Kill" while Emoting or Saying "Die, my Enemies!!!!"
Another, rarely used, key in that area is used for talking to game masters in private chat, after one shows up from being paged. It typically only comes into play when a GM needs to speak without being overheard, such as if you are witnessing a game exploit being done, reported it, but the GM showing up could open you up to reprisals if the cheaters' friends realize you called the GM.
Care to elaborate on that 120?If you compare to some mobile games, they are like paying for 60 to 120 bucks for things and items in the game to win... but they have so much limited gameplay as compared to Ultima Online. For one like those dragon breeding mobile games, some paid like $2000 just to own dumb dragons that do only limited fights.
But in Ultima Online if you are willing to plonk in 120 bucks for the right stuff to build 1-2 veteran characters in like 1-2 days, you can do so much more in the game... hunting hundreds and thousands of different monsters for different rewards that can earn back your investment in the near term.

You have been an amazing information resource, mind if I ask more.Let's see, from what I went through creating an account to receive a friend's castle when they left....
- The new account: trial accounts are currently Mondain's Legacy. All accounts are supposed to upgrade to Stygian Abyss "soon" - hopefully before the end of the year instead of waiting for "Endless Journey" (for all I know it could have happened today, but I've not looked yet). If you don't want to wait, that's either $20 to update a current trial account, or $30 for starting fresh with a new SA account code.
- Upgrading to Time of Legends. Another $20-30. Most players that had active accounts when ToL was introduced got it for free for those accounts.
- For the 1-2 day part: Buying 2 Mythic character tokens for $40 to get a bunch of skills near the non-powerscroll maximum.
- That leaves another $20-40 to acquire other stuff (I had to buy all the storage expansions) or to pay for up to 6 months game time.
Thank you for the info. I was wondering what the short cuts were in EC.The chat/speak commands are as follows in the Classic Client, and in the Enhanced Client when set to function like the CC. In the default EC, You might have to hit enter to get into talking mode first.
