    I wanted to say hello. I've been watching events unfold since kickstart and finally decided to pledge the other day. I played UO on Pacific shard since it started until around 2001.. Anyone around from OSC (order of the silver chalice)? :)

    From there it was EQ, WoW, Guild Wars, Guild Wars 2 etc...

    This looks really promising and I am very excited. I hope to stop lurking and start adding to the conversation.

    Thanks and see you in game!

    I guess mostly nostalgia and the direction of the game thus far made me take the plunge. A few weeks back I read an article about the "uprising" over the travel map which got me digging further into the game itself. Which then made me remember the great times I had in UO while in undegrad (when apparently I had loads of time to play games somehow lol).

    Throughout the years I never found a game that held my attention like UO did. I think that mostly due to the great community back then; maybe lack of a real gear grind; also the wide open "do whatever you want" without a truly defined endgame appealed to me.

    I realize that SoTA is not trying to be a UO clone for the 21st century but it seems like it will have deep roots in much of the original (pvp aside).

    Edit: darn you autocorrecting ipad

    Reading before speaking is probably a good idea. After reading the story, I couldn't help myself! I had to jump in and start getting to know some amigos. Lurking was driving me "insane" ....FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES! :) What a bunch of great people!

    Welcome aboard!

    lol I'm glad you took the plunge. Iwas really nervous about it when I pledged since itwas the first time I'd even heard of kick starters.
    It has been a great experience. congratulations and *cheers* to you and also to ShirZ

    Welcome. Good timing with the next PA a week away. Just remember its PRE-alpha so the systems are disjointed but ripe for testing and feedback.

    Welcome, welcome, welcome! (to Real Audio 3.0)

    Alas, my UO days were on Europa and Lake Superior, but nonetheless it's great to have another UO player aboard! :) Hopefully you enjoy your time here! The forums are full of friendly folks (and alliteration), so if you have any questions, fire away. And pull up a chair! Recliners are preferred. Those nasty oak things will only give you a sore back.
