Got the UO bug, came here

Hello everyone. I'm a long time UO player like so many here. Started playing at the age of 13 in 1998. Fifteen years later a couple friends and I still get nostalgic over this game. I'd played on the infamously rainbow hued trammel banksitting fest of hybrid since its beginning and stopped in 2006. Went back there for a second last night and was disgusted. I can't get over the admin abuse, giving away millions, wipe your account if you beat one of them in a duel, the list goes on. They suck.
I remember robbing houses on OSI servers, even while people macroed in them we cleaned them out. But it was so laggy back then, t2a era. Definitely the romantic period, I'm drawn back to this era. Never played on this server as the last time I really 'played uo' was 2006. I'd made a few characters here and walked around talking to people and crafting, people tell me this is the ultimate in griefing and doucheyness. Like all the griefers that existed in 1999 are all the remain and got together here on UOSA.
Well thats cool, I don't care. I'm pretty sure that I've lost more stuff in real life to make any amount of UO loss seem trivial. I've owned castles, keeps, towers, made dozens of 7x characters etc. And now I have nothing and start over. I know I know, coolstory. But I'm glad to be here, for however long I can manage to stay interested.
Anyway just saying Hi to everyone, hoping to make some friends because this place so far seems relatively unfriendly. Anyone want to help an oldschooler out? What makes this game great is companionship, I'm not begging for gold.
