New to Second Age

Hi everyone.

I just recently got back on UO.. I played on another free shard for less than a week before realizing I didn't want to waste my time on shards that have shit staff, immature players, and no PVM. So here I am... hoping that this shard will be my new home.

I am a bard tamer and would really love it if any tamers out there can take me under their wing and sort of show me the ropes.

I have aim, icq, msn, vent.. you name it! Let's be friends ;D

Woah! A staff member that doesn't mind doing his job on a shard?? UNHEARD OF!! :D

I did play on Hybrid for quite some time. There were haters, but they were easy to ignore because I had friends to keep me distracted.

The shard I was just on for a week was called Defiance. (TOTALLY NOT ADVERTISING) That shard is a like licking a bums foot. Everyone is mean to you if you're new. The average age of player is 15. The staff are horrid. AND it's European, so no one is on during my time. Did I say enough to make you never go there? haha

Anyways.. thanks for the welcomes. Taking 2 seconds out of your day to say welcome is all it takes to make a new player stay! ;)

I put my AIM, ICQ, and MSN info in my profile!!

Well there was a reason DFI:T2A only lasted a month until it had an average of 10 clients down from an average of 500+ from the start... :wink:

That's going to be really helpful. Thank you :)

Quick newb question: Do skills get harder to gain the closer you get to 7x on this shard?

No there is no correlation between your skill total and gain, only your level in that particular skill. Also skills marked down will always drop with a gain, 700 or not, which is incorrect but presently does guaranty that the cap does not slow gain. We will be fixing this eventually so that skills only atrophy naturally or with a gain if marked down, there will still be no restraint on gaining at cap.

Awesome! Thanks.

I can't wait to macro music as my first still instead of doing all the hard skills first.

Welcome. Remember that you don't need to GM everything before you can start having fun.
