Hi everyone,

A few days ago, I activated an old account and created "Eko," a bushido archer. It's been a long time since I played UO, but I was getting bored with WoW, EQ, Vanguard, LoTR, etc, and decided to give my first MMORPG passion another go.

I was a charter edition member, who pre-ordered and played UO from day 1. Originally Laki on Great Lakes, I later joined SP on opening day and was Laki Ta'Kier for about a year. Since then, I have played casually on Napa with my nephews, nieces, and brother, in between other games.

Recently, I ran across an old friend (Demetrius, one of your esteemed members), whom I introduced to UO years ago. He has gone on to achieve far more than I ever have in the game.

So, I look forward to getting to know you guys. Simple math tell me that, based on RoT, it will be at least 6 months before my skills will be good enough for PvP. So, in the mean time, I'll remain blue and keep farming.

See you in game,

Eko

Howdy Eko! Welcome!

It looks like ROT might be in for an update in the next few weeks, so you may not be looking at 6 months of training! Sounds like good times!

What kind of character are you making? Do you need anything in particular? Should I be keeping an eye on particular skill jewelry (which I usually trash)?

Well, I started out with bushido/archery, but have decided to switch to my favorite, magery/eval.

I'm not sure at this point what my extra skill will be. In the past, I always did swordsmanship, and would pick up a dp katana and rush in for kill shot. However, I'm sure things have changes alot since I played a mage last.

Any mages out there care to share some ideas?

Thanks,

Eko

-scribe/mages dish out a lot of damage w/ a scrappers
-parry/mage, alot of dexxors out there
-wrestling/mage, u can disarm and stun

i would say necro mage but now that u can eat apples every 20 sec necro sucking.

im not a mage but an archer, my hardest temps to beat is parry/mage and scribe/mage. but only a scribe mage can beat me if they know how to get the spells off right, all in the timing i guess:P

for good advise talk to righty, he is a very good mage:) we have others in the guild that are good too:)

What about an archer mage?

Mage/Med/Eval/Resist/Arch/Tactics?

You can dump on someone and when they run, follow with moving shot.

You'll need a good SCNP bow.

Welcome back. Soulstones are great because you can make some adjustments as you go and not have all your hard work to that point lost.

I believe they are still offering the Soul Stones at $10 @ for the Leagcy Tokens. Might want to grab a few.

Thank you all for the warm welcome. I activated a second account and created a peacer/tamer (Laki Ta'Kier). This way, I have something productive to do each day when RoT points run out on Eko.

having a pocket tamer also seems like a good way to round up LRC and other disposable gear.

Well, thanks again to everyone who has helped me out with gear and information. I'm having a blast being back on SP again.

See you in game,

Eko
