Another introduction

[dollpartz]

Hello all, my name is dollpartz, most call me doll for short. I wanted to introduce myself and hopes of getting myself out there and into the social aspect of UO and get to know some of the nice people here since I've decided UO is where I'll be spending a big portion of my free time.

A little about myself, I entered the MMO world about 15 years ago with a MUD called Achaea. I played Achaea for about 10 years and moved on to World of Warcraft. I played WoW for probably two years before I just got bored with it. It has no depth and I needed a MMO with depth, not just mindless grinding. I jumped around a lot at this point; Guild Wars, Warhammer Online, Everquest, Lord of the Rings Online and recently Rift. All of these games just felt like cheap knockoffs of WoW. That's just my opinion, though, don't bash me if you feel differently.

So I sought out something different. I dabbled with EVE Online for a few months until I just came to the conclusion it wasn't me. Science Fiction just isn't my thing. So back to searching.

I stumble upon Ultima Online randomly and I read several things stating UO is a MUD with graphics. Wow! A dream come true!

So anyway, I landed here a true "noob" to UO. I know very, very little about UO in general aside from the sheer volume of UO wikis and forums.

A little about me:
I grew up in a small farming community in New Zealand. I'm into entrepreneurship, travel, languages, art, music, architecture, scuba, running, yoga, biking & swimming.

Attached is a picture of me.

Welcome!

Any questions you have, feel free to post, page using help button, or simply ask players in chat.

We have a great Wiki too by clicking above. It's a tad out of date, but a lot of good info there.

Ultima is one of the greatest games on Earth. It doesn't have people still playing after 15 years for nothing.

Welcome.

Welcome to Pandora, I hope you will like it here as much as we do....Nigel

[TheGrimReaper]

Welcome!

[Dwarvey]

Welcome to Pandora. I've played a few of the games you listed there.

May I suggest since you are completely new that you look into a guild. NPA (PM Michael Helmsly), SoP ( PM Nigel Horns) or Soul ( PM clean your soul or Minock ) are all guilds that specialize in helping people get started and aspire to be a online home.


See ya in game

Belated big welcome.. seems amazing that someone could have played these types of games for the exact amount of time uo has been running and never happen upon it, but it looks like you may well have stumbled on what youve been looking for the whole time... Enjoy!

If we all made our intros like this it would seem like a UO dating site.  Which would be fricken hilarious.

[dollpartz]

hehe. Is there something provocative/suggesting in this introduction? I'm not really sure what your comment is meant to insinuate??

[Mercathane]

no, it was a very nice intro. it just struck me a bit funny is all. Well done! 

[Horns Nigel]

Welcome to pandora, saw your posts in game last night and was wondering who it was, I hope you enjoy it here.....Nigel

[Saturn]

Welcome! Im sure by now you realized Im willing to help with anything (were in the same guild). But i gotta say, dolls freak me out, and the idea of doll parts is unsettling 

[Horns Nigel]

I think its a great name, got my attention last night and usually I dont pay attention to the shard chit chat  lol....Nigel

[dollpartz]

No need to be Alarmed Saturn, I thought the Live Through This Hole album was quite good, and the name kinda stuck. Nothing to do with dollys or the sacrificial of their parts

Thanks for the warm welcome guys. Love this shard!! You're all great people!
