Just starting, downloaded everything this weekend. I played UO from 1997 to 2008 on the Pacific Shard.
I like the idea of pre AOS shard and there is a TON I have to get used to again. The rules are so much different during this age (which I love). I think most of my templates I had in 2008 are not very viable. If I remember correctly I had a lot of fun with a Provo mage and of course my archer pre AOS.
Is taming worthwhile? (never had a pre AOS tamer) Are there any player vendors and where are they?
looking forward to rebuilding after a long absence

All of Roser's advice is tremendously good. Lots of rules-mechanics differences pre/post-AoS: it's pretty-much everything, lol; post in this section, or in this post, or PM me, and these differences can be explained. The most-important ones: - Skill- and Stat-caps; all skills max. 100
- Insta-Hit & weapon timers; weapon damage
- No Special Moves
- Hit-Location & AR; no Resistances; damage calculation; colored-ingot-crafted armor is only 'pretty', and/or GM
- definitions of magic modifiers for magic weapons & armor; silver is the only kind of "slayer"
- No "Lumberjack bonus" to axe-weapon damage; how Anatomy relates to Weapon-damage & Healing
- Bandage timers
- Active & Passive Meditation; effects of armor (pieces) on Meditation
- Certain spell effects
- Crafting menus/gumps, & "recipes"; no Bulk Order Deeds
- No Faction Warfare; NO TRAMMEL (except in certain peeps' houses ...)
- Different Murder & Reputation system; Player-Killing & Guard Zones
- Skill-delays
- Differences in certain difficulty-based, v. non-difficulty-based, skills
- Different skill effects/mechanics with certain skills
- Housing, and Rules for Houses & Ships
- No "Paragons"; some differences in Treasure-Map Hunting
I'm sure there's tons I've failed to mention. Do not be discouraged! Ask! These mechanics are awesome (even if some are era-accurately 'imperfect')! A lot of stuff can be confirmed here (use links in the side-bar), or by visiting UOSA's Wiki. Once you get a handle on the basic differences, visit 3 pages on my own guildpage to explore Template possibilities: Professions of Virtue, Professions of Pride, and Other Professions. Welcome to the shard! SS

OK,
I am having fun building my new Provo mage Wing. I die a lot but I like the fact that this game is not meant to be easy. Soon I will get the margery and resist up there so I can really be useful
then get enough money for a small house.

I recommend a 2nd account (you can have 3 total) and mine ingots or chop trees for boards while your other account macros skills. They are both easy to sell and a good way to get quick cash for regs/house/etc.

They are both easy to sell and a good way to get quick cash for regs/house/etc. This, also, is good advice. I'll add: 50/50 lumberjack/bowyer can effortlessly harvest wood & craft bows to sell to the NPC shopkeepers; never leaving Britain guard zone, for example, such a character can earn several thousand gold per hour. For Gexuan, Provo-mage is an excellent PvM template: Dyschord (Jester). Have fun! SS
