UO Second Age

So It's been ages since I've played. I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction or tell me a basic starting class/spec/whatnot that I should start with. I just would like a well rounded toon.

Thanks.

Welcome to UOSA.

If you're really rusty I'd recommend starting a basic warrior and having a run around the world. Get a feel for the place, explore a bit, fight a bit, die a bit. Then look at starting a 'proper' character (or a few, you can have up to 15) once you've got a better idea of what you'd like to do.

Tank mage → kill bards, rinse repeat, brag.

I recommend skipping the warrior and doing a bard. A warrior actually loses a lot more stuff when he dies than a bard does. Yes you will be killed, its not a big deal.

I have to echo the recommendations for a bard. I can make 30-40k an hour depending on how the spawn works out at a certain place. Bards are easy money and will EASILY fund the creation of the rest of your characters.
