I played chessy back in the day, but only at the tale end of T2A...most of my time was during UO:R. My char was riant (not used on this shard) and rolled with a dude named Fury. We warred a guild called LoD a lot.

Only person i knew from chessy was that sir galahad a##hat that came to napa to scam people. He kinda ruined my game when he stole my first small house on napa valley. Ever since then , i had made a point to stop anyone from scamming another player in game. It also started a rampage of blind Tamer justice that extended from napa to siege for years to come. Trammel was created to save pks and scammers from me.

Trying to remember LoD names. Pretty sure there was PooKie and Snoopers and maybe a dude named Adon (not sure if he was LoD).

Not that anyone probably remembers me (tho the name riant seems so familiar...), but I use to play loki and Loedin on Chessy. I played in the Company of the Phoenix [cp] and the Minoc Militia [Mlt].....Chessy was such a great server...some good times.

Definitely remember Atomic Gods, but not you in particular. I was Jobe - I played Great Lakes as Jenova mainly but played in dnd on Chessy on and off.

riant...you didnt happen to be a mage who used a warfork by chance?....I recall a guy named ryant or riant being in cp for a lil while before he moved onto some larger guilds...may have been someone else tho...we were a very small guild on the otherside of the mountain from wrong....Im sure few knew about us, but man I had some fun in that guild. =)

That might have been me because I used to love warforks before the axe bonuses kicked in and then it was so easy to 2-hit kill mages with GM LJ that I switched to axes. I won't lie...my best PvP days were in UO:R because I was rich by then can could always equip vanq axes. I was big into factions. My guild then was -M-. I started it with that Fury guy (I've been desperately trying to get him to come on here but he keeps stalling).
Only other way people might know me is that I was a pretty big rares dealer back then...had a shop called Riant's Rares that was pretty well known. I also did a A LOT of house placing post trammel. Literally sold SMALL houses for over $100 on ebay (I would place them on Fire Island and sell them as "dragon-banning houses"). Made $3000 on ebay selling housing and gold in 2000. There was a great trick where you would use UOAM and overlay multiple shards on one another so you could see where a house fit. I'm guessing every placer knew about it but it was one of those tricks no one ever wanted to say because you made so much money with it. I actually got my first good housing spot on UOSA (next to the brit line) using that trick. I actually signed up for a free trial at the current UO just to get a map of housing, but it's so screwy over there that it really only helps you find a spot for a small house (all the larger housing is all customized and screwy now so it never matches up).
At one point back in 2000 I remember bribing the friend of one of my log cabin's next door neighbor to convince his friend to sell me his small. I paid his friend 1million for the bribe and paid my neighbor 3 million for the log (which was hugely profitable for him anyway so I didn't feel bad). I pulled them both up and slapped down a tower. That was my first tower placement and this was in the height of server pop. My girlfriend and I were jumping up and down.
I'm uploaded some kill pictures. You don't see my toon's name, but I'm the dude with the axe in every picture. Doesn't show much but pretty much all I have from back then.
