Excelsior

Hi everyone

I have joined Excelsior today in the hopes of reliving past UO grandeur Started playing WoW almost 8 years ago, and I am now looking to have fun again in UO. My name is Johan and I am from South Africa. I saw that this realm is mature, friendly and been running for a few years now, exactly what I was looking for.

I am really looking forward to this. I do remember a bit of UO and have already started. Back then I played a Ranger. So I had archery and taming as my main skills.

I hope someone could help me a little bit with resources like arrows. Also, would love few tips / suggestions. I started my toon with:

30 Taming
30 Animal Lore
40 Archery

I was curious to know, which skill is the slowest? I almost think it's taming? Should I have started taming at 40 or 50 even perhaps? Also, how hard is Archery to level and to come by arrows? Oh and I would also like to know where does one set the option to see every 0.1 skill gain?

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards

Shaded

Welcome to a completely different UO experience from anything that you were used to in RSA

Ex GM here from RSA - just drop me a line anytime and I'll also hook up with you on TeamSpeak and take you through the ropes very quickly.

I come from the best place in the World as my Avatar shows *wink*... I'll be out this evening on course for about 2 odd hours so let me know here or in game when we can meet on TeamSpeak.

I have already sent you a Pm in game.

Enjoy your stay here, there are a couple of us here from RSA or welcome again and enjoy - the key is to have fun and trust me you will have loads of it here...

Have a good one and take care - Cheers

Appreciate it. My last UO time was on TFR (Justae's server). Would love to have a chat. Good old Cape Town

Don't be shocked when you see an excessively pink character approach you. Its just Odin.

Odin is a follower of "pink is the new black" ....

Hey Alex

Missed you last night, wasn't on. Will you be able to skype, say during the day or so?

Hi Shaded

I'm in court this morning, and then I have to pick up the kids quickly from school and day care.

I will try drop you a line on skype today round about 13:30 our time just send a PM (private message) in game to me with your details... you do this by typing [pm <persons name> so to send me a pm in game it would be [pm odin hammersmith hit enter and a menu will pop up for you to type your message to me - easy peasy lemon squeasy . In the mean time you can read through the Wiki and the Codex - there is a wealth on information in there and covers everything in game.

Be careful of Alex... he enjoys playing and riding Polar Bears in game... I personally think he didn't have enough "fluffy" toys when he was young *kekeke* oh and ALWAYS carry spare bandages, like me I am always running around healing and rezzing Vets (veteran players) they'll always deny this *chuckle*.

As for the Pink... indeed been the same as it was when I Gm'd on TFR - it IS the new black *chuckle* *wink*.

The vast majority of players are US based with the rest coming from Western and Central Europe, a couple of us from Africa and the rest from the East - so its a smorgasboard of players and time zones, you'll get used to it.

As always have fun and as J and I used to say remember its a privilege and not a right to play on a FREE server.

Have a good one and take care - Cheers
