Hi there,

let me introduce myself shortly
i am from Germany, living in Texas since almost 2 years. I stopped playing UO in my country, because of the time difference.

I played on that particular shard since the day in went into the beta feb 15 ' 04
was GM in mining and blacksmithing, married to Jarl of a Clan (sort of a mix between vikings and highlander of some sort)

my sister still lives in germany and i really miss playing / or roleplaying.
(she is still on the server)

since english is not my 1st language i always was to shy to start uo again here in the US. but now i just wanna give it a shot. i am afraid i might lack simple emote vocabulary

I have read in this forum that a few shards are recommended i.e Europa

I looked into some guilds on other shards and guildnames like " pee vee pee " or some even worse and charnames that i forced myself to forget again
discouraged me and my sister immediately said NO, NEVER !

i really want to give it a try and i hope i can find some nice players during the 14 days trial.

If you come to Europa i also know two Rpers from Germany that play here, they are relatively new to the shard as well. Maybe its possible to put you in touch with them.

I play on Europa and if i can help in anyway please pm me here or leave a msg below. Alternatively my icq is 164413512.

Hello Kaila,and welcome to UOForums.

Here is a list of all the guilds registered with us who play Europa.

There are quite a few players frpom both Germany and USA in some of these guilds,and I am sure you will soon hear on here from some of them.

Good luck with your 14 day trial

I live in the US and I find Europa to be a great shard to RP on, quite a nice group of people. Only problem I had at first is to remember they are about 5 hours ahead of us.. So around mid-day its like five there. Most active times seem to be 3ish till people start to go to bed. Good luck and all!

~Some towns to go to where normally a few people hand around
Trinsic : The west gate normally has a few people there
Vesper : Swaggers Inn; If you go to the Minoc moongate, and run west till you see the road, run down it all the way (Past the Inn) and its the house on the very right bottom.

Im from Sweden but live in Germany at the moment..

Close by Burg Drachenfel... aka.. Bonn.

I play on Europa as well.. Lots of nice people in the rp community.

I'm a North American who loves playing on Europa. The RP community there is far more developed and immersive than any other shard I know of.

The time difference is tough but there is a small (growing?) community of those on this side of the Atlantic who play in US prime time with insomniac Europeans.

And weekend afternoons are great!

Welcome to UO Forums Kaila

Europa is a great shard for RP'rs. We do have a few roleplaying shards here. Just not as large. I believe Catskills is one. Also less chance of finding players who speak German . Hope things work out for you.
