The name's Seramir, and I finally managed to join this shard today. I had a few difficulties up until now- I've been using Ubuntu and VirtualBox to log in, as described in one of the excellent guides on these forums. Unfortunately, when I was originally trying to set up Razor, I messed around with one thing too many and ended up losing all the data on my hard drive. Fortunately, everything important was backed up, but I've spent the last few days reinstalling programs.
I'm really impressed with everything I've seen so far- the people on the forums have been respectful to each other, Derrick showed up to greet me as soon as I logged in (although he could have just been checking on a rogue easter bunny

At this point, the only problem I'm running into is an inordinate amount of lag. I'm sure it's mostly on my end- maybe I didn't give VirtualBox enough memory to work with. If anyone else is running UO this way, could you let me know what settings you used, and how it's working out for you?
In-game help would be appreciated as well- if you have any time to spare to help a newb, I'd be glad to meet you. Unfortunately, my schedule will be a little off, since I'm currently in Korea (GMT +9, but no daylight savings time, so it's 13 hours ahead of EST). Nice to meet you all!
