It looks like it's been nearly 10 years since I've made a post! I had to make a new account. So where does everyone hang out these days?

If you are looking for people in-game...they hang out in general chat. It's kinda like hanging at the WBB except you can't show off your latest shiny items. And it's safe.

Very few people on the shard at the moment, but as always, we hold our breath and hope some of the newbies stick it out (except when the mean old vets scare them off)...la

I tried to stick it out after returning after 10 years as well. As everything is blessed and there is no PvP; I ran out of things to do that interest me so I didn't resub this month.

But as far as pve goes its a pretty good atmosphere. A few guilds run champs regularly if you're in to that.

Spyder, you didn't run into me then, the only blessed item I have is a bloody sash. If you'd met me on a lonely road you'd had an easy kill and a pack full of sh!!!y gear. :)

A lack of PvP would kinda eliminate the need for Siege, so hopefully that's not the case. I don't remember it being very easy to have anything blessed. Couldn't you bless like one item and move that blessing from one thing to another? I used to start the day naked with a poisoned newbie weapon and only use what I took off corpses. :p

p.s. Would a necro nox swordsman still be a decent build? I think had stones to swap over to ninja archer too.

Actually, I'd have been the easy kill with no combat skills. However, your pack might have felt a bit lighter.

Hi Kat! I wasn't in TnT, but I did start the web site in your signature. It was originally a forum for Siege, because this place was being heavily moderated. I also set up forums there for NEW and passed it on to them when I left.

I remember that too :) Sadly Shalimar stopped playing around 3 years ago. She still have some of her houses, including NEW keep, so hopeful we someday will see her back.
The forum here, are not so heavy moderated after it got new owner or it seem so. I do like that.
I think I remember you being in VMP before you left, but you was in an other guild before that, can't remember that tag.

Yes, you were briefly in TnT with your other character, but you didn't stay long. It was right before you quit. You really only spawned with us a few times and that was it. I can kinda see the name in my head, but I probably won't spell it right. I wanna say the initials were GR? Guldoryl Rilynar? Thats the closest I can come to spelling it! lol Please don't tell me that was someone else, because all these years I thought that was your character! haha

I knew you started the sp.net website at one time. We only used freebie sites over the years and, well, you get what you pay for, so I was looking to purchase a domain for us and TnT.com or .net was not available, so I checked sp.net just for giggles and apparently Shalimar had let it go. I figured it would be a good home for us.

Oh yeah! I remember now. I made the name change to Gul'Dorl Rilynar when I started the LICH roleplaying guild. That was definitely one of my favorite times in UO!

I use the classic client, but you might as well try and get used to the new one. I understand it has some great features the classic client doesn't have. You definitely want Stygian Abyss! You will not be able to experience most of the newer content without it and that expansion is 4-5 years old already.

There are 2, one for new accounts and one to upgrade, guess you did choose the wrong version

Oh well...hopefully I can get a refund. I need to place a house quick. I have a feeling I'm wearing a bunch of stuff that used to be blessed. Lots of stuff with cool names on my character. :p

Hey, Ghost, if you need a base of operations and a place to stash some things until you can get a house, let me know.

VOLUME WARNING!

It's been about 10 years since Feyre/Super Milk Chan made this in 2006: http://gkexpressions.ytmnd.com/
Feyre cracked me up. He was always bouncing around in Kirin form. I think that's when I was battling REV all the time. They would do stuff like gank me and then leave just one person to take a pic saying "1v1". :p

Thanks Kat! I placed a house last night though.
