Well.. Show how out-of-touch I am with forms of online communication. I still primarily use Email and message boards. Downloading now! See you soon!

I did make it out of the starting zone. However, I don't know if the starting zone has changed since you last played it. My starting zone (Path of Courage? Not sure.. Going to reroll tonight anyway) did not have anyone tank for me. You talk to the wounded guard, go to the gate, talk to the NPC there (Or go talk to the other NPC and escort him back to the wounded guard), and immediately it's just you against an elf warrior. First one is easy, but they placed the second one in aggro range of another pair, one mage one archer. Then there's the wolves real close by that can also aggro. I also watched a few more videos today about the skill and deck system. Sorta need to restart again. I think this is the 4th iteration of the tutorial I have tried. I remember the one you may be thinking of, where the NPC at the gate crosses the stone bridge with you and you face off against skeletons.. That's not it anymore, or not the one I ended up in. Thanks for the info! I'll be in touch! No mic for Discord yet, but I will eventually be getting one.

I am playing as Thayn Silverblade. Do friends lists need the full name? What did you do in the tutorial? Every time I swing a sword or use a blade-based ability, "Miss, Miss, Miss, 2 damage!". And I'm literally standing just about on top of them. Even tried going back and spent a bunch of experience (That's another thing - Moves cost experience?) on a training dummy to try to raise there levels. To say nothing about getting nuked from range. Guess I need to learn if this is truly action based combat or not. Much to learn! Thanks! Yeah, I found a youtube video talking about the deck building. Just odd that something so critical is excluded from the tutorial.
-
I am trying! They've done some improvements over the last few months.. Still confused why they want you to get your butt kicked in the opening scene if you prefer sword and board (Very off-putting for new players - A mage, an archer, and a melee in close aggro range?), to say nothing about them not telling you about deck configuration as part of the tutorial, but I'm giving it an honest attempt! I think I successfully added you and Borg to my friends list. so hopefully I'll catch one of you guys when you're on!
-
Congratulations! Quite an accomplishment! Look forward to seeing you guys in game Soon©.

If there are more active members and we're short on space, no worries about a home for me. It'll just be nice to be doing things with the guild again. .. As time allows, of course.
-
Thayn Silverblade for me at the moment, though I'm not on much
-
I'm against gang violence.... Unless it's cool and RP'ed well... Nice shot.

I don't know how people feel about freeshard postings here.. But this one is too good to pass up. http://inporylem.com/ I've been following this freeshard since it's annoucement, and I can say I have... errr.. Intimate knowledge of it's workings. It's going to be EXCELLENT, and it's everything EA has failed to provide UO with. It's all about communities, and the tools with which to build them. It caters not only to great PvP, but also RP and PvE. I could go on and on.. I'd suggest reading the forums and and the creators blog, http://azaroth.org/. Hope to see you all there. My post name there is Thayn.

Don't know who is active and who isn't, but the poster known as Gheed on the Stratics site was the winner of the Catskills human housing plot in the Abyss. He is offering a space for PGoH to be represented. Please contact him via Stratics messaging if you can.

Also add at least 1000 of each Ingot type, and 5 of every kind of gem that comes from mining. Thom is currently holding the deeds and the gems to the best of my knowledge, as I couldn't find the good Senator.
-
Hey Brightblade! Good to see you still lurking. And yeah, even Borg was on last night, so you know things are hopping.
-
Why thank you. I do try to stop by from time to time. I ebb and flow with the seas.
-
In lieu of my ability to resub and attend in person, my fondest wishes and hopes to you both. Congratulations! May it be a rewarding adventure for both of you.
-
I'm always late to the party. Happy Birthday, indeed. I could spin yarns of tales of days of old from past to present, but they'd hardly do my reverence for the guild and the empire any justice. To 11 more years.

These days, I wonder if he would be more effective at it..
-
Very nice. Like the new beginnings one.. I've been back almost a year, and I'm still pretty lost for most things. Heh. If Calli hadn't given me a sword and shield, I'd still be hacking away with my GM Katana and a shield. So for me, that one rings pretty true. A lot HAS changed. Too much for me to take in, really. So much used to be obtainable on your own.. Now.. Most takes an army, unless you're very good, or very wealthy with top of the line items and templates. I can't help but wonder - Did this change promote the growth of UO, or hurt it?
-
PvP... Ye gads... My time back in the game is intermittent, and I can barely grasp the newer PvE mechanics, even after all these months.. Tend to spend more time on my smith.. I'd be a sitting duck in PvP.
-
Wow.. Blast from the past. Thinking of visiting Sosaria any time soon?
-
Ahhh! That would explain it.. Whew.. Thought my memory was REALLY going for a moment. And aye, Scout.. That was it. I think Logan or Steel had just joined when I left.
-
Hmm.. Elathiel sounds familiar.. Balllyn, don't recall. The older names I remember: Borg (Duh! ) Arthil Martok Wolf Prometheus Koopsta Fing Balandar Ser Brightblade (And his wife.. God help me, can't remember her in game name) Arianna Mallock Suin Vens Greg Balthazar Hmm.. Probably forgetting a few. To give you an idea.. Look at my member number for these forums I rember every iteration of this website, the Codex, the story work Borg used to do (Egyptian Cartoches (sp), the "Comic Strip" style stories with screenshots)... Some reason, I can't quite remember Charile from the time before Trammel. The last "Old" memory I have of membership was around the time of the launch of UO: Third Dawn. (Only 3D client could go to Ish). Maybe my memory is just that bad.
-
Charlie, how long have you been around? Has your name changed? I remember being around as far back as when Wolf was given the rank of Gladiator Centurion. For some reason, I can't remember you being around that long..
-
Congratulations to you both! *Salutes* Strength and Honor! .. And my the fates have mercy on your souls..
-
Fing! Glad to see you around, old man! Been quite some time, even when I tried to play Midgard in DAoC with you all those years ago. Thom: Aye, I only have 615 allocated at the moment. My spec used to be: GM Sword/Tac/Parry/Arch/Anat/Healing and about 74 resist. (This was from before GM'ing resist was anywhere close to easy for a melee character). I since dropped the Archery for Chivalry, as I like the Paladin title next to my name.. Heh.. But since Resist is nothing like it used to be, I soul stoned that, and have a cap of 710 or 715 (Can't remember which.. Just what you get for the account age reward.. no scrolls as of yet.) My dilemma is that since now you need some skills OVER 100, I can't decide on what I'd want to take handicapped to account for the points needed to make other skills useful, or if I should just work with these skills. These skills might be fine enough to work with, but since I have absolutely NO good gear, I can't see this template working. Maybe it's possible if you have artifacts, stat scrolls, etc... But I don't think that's in the cards for me. So I'm always keeping an eye out for good ideas that don't require a particularly large amount of time or money.

Glad you posted.. Laurana's specs were what I was originally looking for. Hehe.. That is pretty close, but obviously you have some better gear, a few more stat points, and by the looks of things, a few more skill points.
