UO Second Age

You make an intriguing offer. I've joined, if for not other reason than to chat with other UO players.

PKed again, this time right after a long session of grinding, not afk. All my equips and gold gone.
I love the game, and I did back in 99, but now I see why they made Trammel, just impossible to progress like this, lost all interest in this shard. Staying would be masochism.

Thanks. With about 55-60 in my weapon skill, I'm looking at orcs being my best grinding location, so I may just bring some crappy chests in supply since they're all gonna get maced. Although now that I got PKed and all my stuff taken, all that's on hold anyway. Haven't exactly had enough time to bui...

Is it pretty common on this shard? Had two characters on at once training different skills while I was afk and both got PKed. One was in cove, another in minoc. Being new, I don't really have the gold to replace their equips and runebooks... =/ Kinda takes all my motivation out of playing.
