    haha so i have been a player of UO for about 14 years now and one day at work there was this event going on and i caught ear/eye of Ultima Online, seeing shirts and items from the game and hearing people talk about it. then when i start going %100 fanboy on them i hear that they are creating a game inspired by UO and its fans. this instantly hooked me like i was a trophy fish at a fishing event. so i talk to everyone at the event and word got to Lord British. sadly when he got out there to meet and talk to me i was parking a car. (im a valet in Austin. lol) well i got back as he just got out of sight and was bummed but i knew that i could get on here and thank you for trying to personally come to talk to me about the game and whatnot. pm me on here if you still want to talk! im always willing to talk about UO or UO inspired games. :) (Email works best :). )

    #LongLiveLordBritish ^^ haha

    Welcome to New Britannia.

    His majesty has mentioned on several occaisions that he doesn't mind correspondance with his shbjects. I reckon you should PM him yourself without feeling reluctant :)

    See you in the world.

    Welcome to SotA!

    LB is always a fun guy to chat with. Although you can certainly try to get his attention here, he isn't all that active in the forums. He is much more responsive on Twitter.

    And... here I am! As suggested!
    Welcome @starlight123!
    Indeed I, and the rest of the team, are pretty easy to reach. Thanks for the kind worlds of the past and present.
    I play the game fairly regularly too.
    If you type “/friend Lord British” we will be connected so you can see when I log on, and PM me for occasional in game adventuring!

    Hope to see you soon!
    Lord British

    Don't worry, being in Austin, you should have plenty of opportunity, the main limit being when he's in town. We really need to start Austin meet-ups again. I think Winfield was the main organizer of those, but he's been busy on the appropriate days a lot lately. (if someone wants to have a meet-up in San Antonio, I'm up for that too)

    I always feel like I need to explain our dear Dinsoo. See, he's a cannibal but we have guidelines for him, mainly he can't eat guildmates or any friends of guildmates. So My suggestion is to make friends with anyone in our guild and you'll be just fine.

    Disclaimer: we don't really have cannibalism in New Britannia but Dinsoo is hopeful.

    I probably should have also added that I have met Lord British and found him to be one of the most down to earth people (notice the irony there). He took my fan girl-dom in stride and signed my swag with patience. As you saw Starlight103, he is very approachable to our community. He usually participates in the monthly livestreams on Discord and you will often see him at in-game events, both the monthly release celebration dance parties and the occasional player created event (our guild had one he came to and I also saw him at a book store grand opening). You are not alone in your reverence of Lord British. He has been a part of all our childhoods/young adulthoods for a long time. And here he has created this amazing world for us to enjoy.

    I met him my first month at Origin Systems in 1996. Not only was he a major part of my childhood, he's wound up being the majority of my adulthood as well. He is truly a gentleman and truly a scholar - it has been amazing to work with him all these years.

    Welcome to the game and the community, @starlight103 !

    [EDIT it may not be fair to refer to myself as an adult]

    I first met Lord British in a different game as I missed all the Ultima games..:( The game was Lineage: The Blood Pledge and he owned the new biggest shiniest city in the land, and all the main guilds, one of which I was leader of, went to war with him...was a grand old time all around as we killed each other wantonly trying to take posession of that castle! I was the leader of one such guild, as I played a Prince Character which was the only character to be able to start a guild. Great memories abound from those days as that game had a community that was near as good as this one. All that being said, welcome to your new home!
