I fist played UO on the Great Lakes server back in the days when "Trammel" didn't exist. I played on private/free servers a few years later. I made an attempt to run my own server but didn't have time or the money to run it properly.
I got the bug to start playing again a few days ago. Everything that's come out after the peerless champs is all new to me. Looks like I'll be grinding away in the newbie dungeon for a while.
Welcome ^^,
And yes the newbie dungeon will be a large help for you in the beginning.. Feel free to join our discord channel to easier get help from players and staff ^^,
Welcome to the shard mate! Pandora is going to seem a lot different, but the mechanics are the same, we just made them better (our humble opinion).
I also played Great Lakes back in the day! Where I fell in love with UO.
We are very pleased to recommend this to your friends.
