Hey guys I'm new to UO...

Just ordered the game from ebay, should be arriving in the next week. I've been an Ultima fan since I was about ten (1990), I've played and finished Ultimas IV, V, VI, VII Parts I and II, and Ultima Underworld I. I know I'm about ten years late on getting into this game (I'm kicking myself for leaving it so long), however I'm hoping I can still get something out of it.

Because I live in Australia, I'm assuming the best shard for me would be Oceania, although I'm worried it's nearly deserted nowadays. Is there anyone who posts here that plays Oceania??

Re: Hey guys I'm new to UO...

Welcome to UO, hopefully you enjoy as much as the Ultima series. It can be a little overwhelming, but there are tons of guides on this site that can help you out.

I believe I've seen posts from a couple people here that play Oceania, so hopefully they'll respond. Welcome, and good luck!

Re: Hey guys I'm new to UO...

Thanks man, I've been reading a lot of the guides and I'm hoping the fact that I already know the (classic) lay of Britannia and a fair bit of the lore will help my experience a bit. I'm hoping to create a Shamino-style ranger, the classic hunter/spends days in the wilds sort of guy...

Dont get discouraged when u see no one. There arent many new players around to play with, but the veterans will most likely be happy to help.

Re: Hey guys I'm new to UO...

I would be willing to start a char with you and perhaps we can get some others for group hunts once a week or something. I am in the midwest US but have some late insomnia nights that worked well for another player playing LS shard from Australia. Let me know if you are interested!

Yeah man, sounds good. The game should take up to a week to arrive, and then I'm away all next week, but then I'll definitely by up for something...
