My POV, not quite a suggestion just an observation.

Take a run around the world on a 60 skill swordsman and you WILL find another 60 skill swordsman out there glad to hunt with you. I think that alone separates uosa from the others. I spend a lot of time travelling around the world helping new players, more than you would think. There are so many players on UOSA who are absolutly brand new to uo I cant believe it. These players are the lifeblood.
I show a new person how to intereact with npc vendors a few times a week. They are not powergaming 7x hallywak mages

It's great to have a place where both great skepticism and great optimism can intertwine like this.
I'm with Blackfoot. If you are looking for it with a mind uncluttered by 10 years of free shard disappointments, you'll find what you're looking for on UOSA. But if you're looking for disapointment, you'll find that here as well as anywhere that you look.

Hemperor, am I included in your 5 finger count of people that still play? We started the same day...I remember you trying PK me with Hemperor (then a mace dexxer) when I was a newb smith/miner. Lots of people have been here a year+, but I'm sure most of those people are like me and have farmed 10+ mil, have a castle, have more vanqs than they'll ever be able to use or sell, etc. That's why 99% of the vets here only PK, PVP and grief, because its the only thing left for them to do that's fun/interesting.
