While training in the lovely town of Jhelom I came across a interesting women on the main street traveling towards the bank. I loudly hail her and after introductions I began to interview her.

How long have you played Ultima Online?
Nearly ten years.

Wow thats a really long time. Did you play beta?
Yes I was.

What was it like to be in the beta?
A lot funner then it is now. I know it's been awhile but eh from what I remember it was a blast!

What keeps you playing UO?
I play UO because of it's old school and still 2d game engine.

How long have you played Siege Perilous?
3 maybe 4 years.

Do you consider Siege your home shard?
Yes its my only shard.

Why do you play on Siege Perilous?
I love the all Felucca rule set. It's more "old school" not having insurance. Also the community can be great at times, I really enjoy how the economy is a lot better then other shards too.

What type of character(s) do you play?
Mage strictly a mage... though I'll use a tamer occasionally to PvM.

How many accounts do you have active?
A few...

What do you think of the new templates such as, Ninja and Samurai?
I feel the PvP is worse... but the recent Ninja nerf has helped balance it out.

Are you in factions?
Yes I am.

What do you think of factions on Siege?
They're great!

What fixes would you do if you could have them done?
Faction fixes... Say if you kill someone of your own faction you shouldn't lose life force/points. Also monster ignore is pretty cheesy, but I guess overall it's okay.

Have you tried Kingdom Reborn yet?
Nope.

What are your thoughts on UO:KR?
I don't like the graphics. I feel as they are trying to make Ultima too much like every other game out there.

What do you feel EA should be doing with UO instead?
Work more on fixing bugs and making PvP balanced. Maybe make an old school style shard with no blessing of items at all.

Nice interview

Thanks for sharing it.
