I started playing obs because of an old boyfriend who played it more then what he should have since uo is so extremely addictive. I started playing it basically because of him. Helping him out with stuff in the beginning which is why I became a miner/blacksmith and a fisher and all that other gay productive stuff. When all that was done and I had nothing more to do I guess I was addicted as well and woot, I'm still here improving my bank sitting skills whenever I can

the girlfriend supporting the guy... wow... what a great idea! *ahem*

My story:

I killed a drifter, I got a computer. One night while masturbating to freak porno I found obsidian and began playing.

End game, Sharpton for Prez, FREE TIBET!

at the time i never knew the shadow's dropped br, im sure i coulda had 50 ingots saved up

I started here a mere 7 months ago (nearly 8 now) with Avatar

Having played UO back on OSI in '97-98 on Atlantic and Catskills I had a rough idea what to expect. How wrong was I.

I lived my entire newbie life inside Cove, not knowing anyone or anything about the game anymore. Avatar was a complete newb char, having many skills (Like Abib) which I've now erased from his profile. Spending the time fishing to earn cash for armour, then running down to the orc fort to kill some orcs to get meat to sell, etc. Oh those were the days!!

I then stumbed across Wulfgar and Rovonero who were both newbs at the same time (Both coming from Suprnova). Life was good, we hunted around together and enjoyed our own little world. Wulfgar and I started miners to suppliement our cashflow. I saved up all my cash and bought a house just west of Hind Grove (which I still have), so we could mine and smith there. We trained some more. I even saved up for a guildstone, for the soul purpose of us being able to loot eachother if we died, and thus The Corporation was born. Then all of a sudden, Rovo quit. The whole events around his departure were very unclear, so I won't go into it... But, no sooner had he departed, Wuflgar and myself managed to coax him back into the game!!

I was convinced Avatar was a bugged char, not being able to do shit with him, so I started to go hunting with Wulf and Rovo with my miner char, Keyser Soze. Rovo hated it, cos he reckoned there was nothing wrong with Avatar... Strange as it may seem he was right.. I spoke to Cybervic one day and got him to decrease my str, then increase it... and voila, things were looking good.

Rovo joined Infernal Touch, just as I was GM'ing my first lot of warrior skills. Wulfgar disappeared from in-game with real life issues (universtity, dissertation, girlfriend) so I near enough dispanded The Corporation and joined Infernal Touch.

After being given sound advice from Gandalf, I turned tank. And since that day, spend most of my time hunting for cash to buy regs. It's taken me near 4 months to GM magery (which I actually did 2 days ago!!!) and it feels like the best accomplishment I've done here so far.

I then metup with Bruiser, and regularly purchased armours from him to further increase my tank lifestyle, he was working on bovver as well, so I used to accompany him to the docks where he was fishing so I could train my magery at the same time. Then about a month and a half ago, Garr asked me, quite out of the blue if I fancied joining his new guild. I was quite taken aback, not having anyone ask me if I wanted to join a guild before... I accepted, and took on my role as Grandmaster Banksitter.

Now times have changed once again. Garr cannot dedicate his time to The Crimson Syndicate so I've been voted guild leader in his absence. I've also created a new warrior character to replace Avatar. And thus Jimmy Conway was born, the original Goodfella

I've deliberately left out all the killing, maiming and horrendous masturbation from this lil story, as it bears no relevence to the actual topic of conversation.

I'm glad that Obsidian has a strong community, and it deeply saddens me when certain players test the spirit with their undue actions.

Tata for now. Ava.

Started ages ago, met Rich, he gave me free armour, fought with Protector in arena to prove that fencing was better than swordsmanship (yes protector strted life as a warrior) no one won, Met a guy called Kadafi (Linus), top bloke, hunted with him till he left, we became a great partnership. Then i joined VTA, a trade guild, the best there ever was, i became the only warrior in that guild for a while, met Chris and Lee, top blokes who i still keep in touch with (Kat Ramesey, And the Mcdoods) did lotsa stuff for me. I then left and Joined a guild called the reapers, which at the time was the best and strongest guild on this place, had a great laugh with Tyger and urza and the other bunch, unfortuanatly they all left shortly after, leaving me and protector and garr the only ones. So i left and joined LoV...new start, new name, got my name changed from barney to Von Carstien, dunno why. Still in LoV now and made some great freinds over the time ive been here.....

Peace

WOOT my name got fixed! Anyways, shadows didn't drop very many black rock ores when they actually had them on their corpse. You had to kill quite a few to be able to gather up a stack of 50 just from it. Then they made the shadows so incredibly hard it wasn't worth it for 2 gay little black rock ores, which is what they usually dropped. I don't think very many people actually gained a huge amount of black rock during those times anyway, and those that did, got lucky.

ah k. still tho we killed a tonne, usually easy ones like shadow lizzards or orcs.

i want my bruiser name back Bruiser sucks.

"Well, I remember the old days in Obsidian My very first char was Rogue named Shadowdancer, who was supposed to be thief... well thievin' wasn't workin' nor poisoning so i made him dungeonrunner rogue with lockpickin'... i stopped playin' him when i started Tobi Ken, my frost elf crafter... I wanted to roleplay and be different from the mass of humans smiths so i took the harder path... but 'twas rewardin' dunno are there any other GM frost crafters that Criswald, Frosthammer and me (reply if there stands any ultimate crafters )

Then when i slowly got gains in art of crafting , i wanted to make adventurer who could have real rp fun... again there was ill-fate when barding skills were quite worthless and i became frustrated so i made Deathshot and my meaning was just play him a while but i got hooked on my rangers role and kept playin' i made much of friends when wanderin' in woods, many goners already but some still alive and kicking like bruiser ... but so many gone

After life in woods I finally found nice char to roleplay and that was necromancer Darkside ... he eventually became my main char and i made friends that came to hunt with me... we wandered through land seekin' just for adventure and fun... road full of laughter with good friends so that is what i call rp.

I noticed there were very small amount of necromancers , only few GM , and i was quite n00b with my 70 + necromancy but i knew lot so i took *ahem* a role of mentor to new necros, hangin' out in cove and searching new necromancers that i could help or inform... dunno my countings but i recall i met over 20 young necros that i tutored trough hard life of necromancer, and i had fun but now there are not many of them left :/
I also met Desolation who taught me a lot in ways of necromancer and life in Obsidian... Later I joined many guilds but finally i wandered my way to Bezerkers of Flame and finally calmed down, yet my dark forces overwhelmed me and eventually turned me only fadin' spirit


So that was my rocky path... never easy but always fun and exiting...

Long live adventure and fellowship!

Yet Darkside shall return... one day...

dont forget tinkerer and maybe someday arok wood elf crafters are hardcore too. 30 magery cap sucks though recalling is near impossible.
