Why are people still playing UO?
Hey look at this email I just got.
Gordon,
I just wanted to say thanks for keeping your website up. A while ago I lost some of my old UO files and stumbled across your page to see some of the old guild fights pictures and it really brought a smile to my face.
Not sure how much you remember but I was in IDS/FLC as Parasite (red and blue characters) but what you may not realize or remember: I was actually a staffer and I went from counselor->GM->Admin as Darr/Saudukar. I eventually ousted both Darwin/Miner and Zen for being complete fucking morons and ruining a good thing and ran Metropolis for a few more years.
Anyways, I loved watching you guys gank people and despite all things I really enjoyed our TKV-IDS guildwar when I had time outside of staffing and school to hop on my player character. Dodgin Bullets and yza were complete stoners and fairly terrible guildmates and even though they complained we really did have fun chasing you guys around. I also knew the GmX guys from Atlantic and brought them to the shard and the hard fought guildwar between you guys really was something they enjoyed as well.
Even though the time for t2a/pre-ren UO shards is long past, I still have all the server files saved (in a now reliable backup method).
Apologies the server didn't turn out how you hoped and appears to be your last experience with UO. 14 years later I hope you are well in life as I am and wish you all the best and my thanks for saving these pictures of the time period where I lost most of mine.
With fondest memories,
Tate Noster
