Thanks Seeth for being the first person that I met here, for the warm introduction to uosa, and for all the help getting me started. You've been more than generous, I feel established after a handful of weeks rather than just plain new. I'm sorry I can't make it to your tower event (the wife dragged me up north to our garden for the weekend), hope to see you around sometime in the future.
Thanks "Gods" for all you did to help me out, all the advice, and just for hanging out. See you in game soon I hope, I'm still hoping to join NEW!
Thanks to Wildchild for being my first PK. I've evaded you 4 our out of 5 times that you've popped on my screen, but knowing that you might pop in has kept me on my toes. Mindlessly farming is boring. I'm just glad I had hiding and stealth.
Thanks to Johanson (I think that's how your name is spelled) for being my first griefer. Feel free to have some conversation next time, just because you're luring spawn to try to get me killed doesn't mean we can't be friends

Also a big thanks to the people who are running this shard. Just because it's "free" doesn't mean it doesn't take the finances, time, and effort of many individuals to keep running.
Just kidding about the length, hope you enjoyed the essay.
tl;dr - UOSA = fun. Thanks for keeping it that way. Also, all the whiners on this board are silly. If anyone sees me in game, I'm always up for hanging out and blowing up some monsters.
