Checking other introduction threads, I've decided that I should give some more information on myself. This is going to look a lot like my application. Heh.
I am a new player to Ultima Online. The shards in my country, to be honest, always have overcrowded servers with rampant, uncontrolled PKing going on. After a few failed attempts at trying to play in the abovementioned servers, I began searching for a RP server, as I always was hearing that PKing was regulated there and the world was more "balanced". The World of Dreams was the third server I found. The first one, called Shadows of Sunder, was down due to the admin giving up, or something like that. The second one, Keisthai, was an adult shard. Being 15 years old, I passed that away too. Then I found the World of Dreams and saw that this could be very well the server I was looking for. So far it has not disappointed me.
After finding out this server, I recommended it to Slethron, who is a close friend of mine who also likes RPGs, and wanted to begin Ultima Online. Ironically, he too suffered the same fate of being simply unable to play in our local shards. So I recommended him this shard and he put me as his referal, writing little or no background information at first, which caused him to be rejected. I convinced him to write a longer background, and he did, and now he's playing alongside me. He seems to like the server.
We complement each other. He's the mage, and I'm the mundane one. Therefore, he plays as Mage/Scribe and I play as Blacksmith/Swordsman. I am novice, and he is neophyte.
Oh, and, thanks to:
"
Neera", who basically gave me a hand when I was trying to get on my feet,
"
Gaeron Hale", for answering my every question with patience in my first two days, (I hope I got the name correct)
"
Wolfy", for getting me out of the "Despise" dungeon to which I had mindlessly wandered and in which I died the first time, also getting me a horse.
I'm sure the list will be bigger later on.
That's about it.
Cheers,
Ephetat
