I'm a recent comeback player, played since UO since it was first released, but quit and came back quite a few times. This is probably my 4th time coming back, but first time starting anew on this shard. I've always played Catskills.

Now i don't know anyone here really (well thats not true, i just ran into one old friend), or what there is to do anymore, and i was wondering if theres any newbie friendly guilds out there i could apply to to help me get situated (no i am not looking for any handouts, just someone to spar w/me or show me around, to take me places so i can make my own runes, dungeon crawls etc.. etc..)

Anyone know of any guilds of this type?

Welcome Back to UO! UO Forums has a Guild on Lake Austin. If you go to Lake Austin under the Shard forum section, and sign up there.

UOfourms has a guild on LA that would love to show you the ropes there are also others guilds on other shards that I am pretty sure they will do the same.
