Well, I was bored one day and I felt like playing a fantasy MMO. I am ashamed to say this, but I even wanted to give World of Warcraft a shot! I had a dream that I was an undead warlock and that I had joined a role-playing guild.
Well, thankfully, my friends intervened and stopped me from playing WoW. (They said, "No! Don't tarnish your record! I tend to agree, WoW would be a stain on my MMO career.)
Ah well, don't take what I say too seriously, WoW is just easy to hate if you come from my perspective of hardcore MMOness.
Well, UO is about as far from WoW as EvE is! UO is actually very much a sandbox like EvE. You make youw own adventures, and explore the world outside of the rail-road theme-park experience. In UO anyone can kill anywhere. You are never safe! And your always stronger in groups. In UO when you die, everything that was on your character is now on your corpse!
Here you can see me about to loot a monsters corpse, little did I know, that they have changed the rules in this server to prevent ninja-looting and so when I took some bone armor from this dead skeleton I turned into a criminal!
So of course, I died.
Oh well, thats about it for my brief venture back into UO! It's a tough game, and I really just don't have the guts for it anymore. But, UO will always have a place in my heart as my first MMO and one of the most unique and best MMOs ever made. There still has never been a true UO-like MMO (With the possible exception of the Asheron's Call Darktide server).
I grab a couple wands, some basic gear, and I hit the road! I'm ready to explore the lands around me. I don't plan on doing much major killing or looting, I just want to see what is out there. Exploring in DarkFall can be so much fun!
And I did find something really interesting! These statues are genuinely creepy and scary...
Especially since the forest is so dark thick! What was I thinking?
OK, but it does thin out in some parts. Hmm.. I am hungry, I wonder if there are any tasty squirrels around?
Maybe there are some squirrels this way.
Nope! Definitely not squirrels! Run away, run away!
Just... not in this direction.
So, forget this, I'm heading back home where its nice and warm and safe.
Almost there...
Ahh, and I am home! All the milk you could drink, all the meat you could eat, this place is paradise.
Of course, after laying around eating for a few hours I feel the urge to hunt and kill. But if I'm gunna go into that forest again, then I'll need to practice my skills. Have at thee training dummy!
I forget why I killed this person... I don't think I had a very good reason. I don't remember.
After killing that person, I felt like it was prime time to do some spider hunting.
