Thanks all for the response. I had made a character to look around on Great Lakes but there was nobody in Haven but me. Since then, I'm trying to decide between two different characters on Lake Superior. The first was quickly helped rather significantly by a local, but I kind of wish I'd not taken the Warrior template (would have chosen Paladin if any of the templates). The second is an Archer/Fisherman . Now the old pain of wanting to do everything at once resurfaces, too many cool options.

So I'm on as the first character now (Manatee) beating some training dummies in Haven. Will be more than happy to come and learn the 'real game' of Siege Perilous once I've got a little more time behind the wheel here

That is SO wrong... did someone actually do that to you? But it IS kind of funny... in a weird twisted way...

Wow there are alot of Texas folks on here I am from Texas too.
Welcome used, I play on Atlantic and I dont have any lag issues. And it is a very lively shard

welcome back!!

Welcome Back [like you haven't heard that before] heh:grin:

Ultimas went through huge changes since the good ole days. I hope you enjoy your stay (hehe jk) I hope you stay for a long time. A lot of the returning players don't seem to stay long because its a totally new game but with all the new changes and stuff coming out in the near future, it gives everyone something to look forward too

Welcome welcome, and since no one has said anything about it, Catskills is a great shard for helping you get established. If you decide to try it, pm me and I
or someone else will help you get started.
