returning player gives greetings

15th September 2006, 07:05 PM

Hi guys,

Probably a typical story... Returning UO player, hasn't played since... 1998

.. Yes I played at release for just a few months before real life got busy and never made it back. I have fallen through the cracks of EVE, EQ2 and of course numerous text muds.

30 years old, one daughter, in CST (Texas). Looking to meet up with a few decent people to party with on occasion. To say that I've forgotten how to do things is going too far, but not TOO too far. I did manage to chop down some logs

Well that's my hello, hope you're all having a good Friday evening wherever you are...
Manatee

(BTW, need some advice on shards for population and activity. Time zone is not as important as population though I suppose I will usually play in the evening of US Central time.)

Welcome back and good luck. I would suggest Atlantic and Lake Superior. Both have a large population, and Lake Superior is probably the friendliest lets form a party and kill a peerless shard I have come across.

I'm in Texas too, and play on Pac without any lag issues.

Pacific is a lively shard as well. Just too many Tamers hanging out infront of Luna Stable.

Welcome back usedmanatee!

Pac, Lake Superior, or Atlantic are pretty much well populated and active.

As for the time you will be playing, I've noticed most things done by players is scheduled around Eastern time, while most things done by the Dev Team or Event Teams are done on Pacific time (speaking of prime times for events)

You wouldn't be complaining about those Tamers so much if it were in Fel, Maddux.

Tamers give me the shivers in the starroom. Pets shouldn't be allowed there.

Welcome back!

After you get your feet wet come to Siege Perilous for an education on how the game is played :shocked:

Kidding, again Well met and enjoy the game no matter the shard.
