Hi everyone.
First let me say that I am loving this free shard. This is my first time playing on a free shard and picked this one because it was the changes after Pub 16 that destroyed the game I loved. I quite obviously chose the right shard. I was impressed to see almost 600 people online last night when I logged in for the first time.
I am curious if this is compatible with the kingdom reborn client. I did go back to UO when KR was released and hated all the stuff EA / Mythic did with the game but I did like the improved graphics. It would be very cool IMO to play this game just as a remembered it but with the nice cosmetic facelift KR offers.
LOL please don't hate me for liking the KR graphics. I already know most ppl hate the new look.

It's hard not to hate you for liking the KR graphics...
but no KR is not compatible with our shard (it isn't compatible with most free shards).
If I were you I'd actually DL the version that is recommended on the main page, when I first arrived here I had the up-to-date ML patch and even though it worked it was buggy at times and it took away some of the immersion of T2A.
Welcome

Welcome and I second the recommendation for downloading and using the version on the front page.
You'll find that certain places like T-Keep will be buggy for you unless you use it.

Thanks everyone.
I did download the basic client + patch that this site recommended. So far its been working perfectly.
I can't believe I didn't get flamed for mentioned KR, not even once. Its a testament to the kind of community this shard has. Thanks everyone for welcoming me. I am so excited to find a solution to my last 8 years of jumping from MMORPG to MMORPG looking for something to make me happy like UO way back when. I feel like I've gone back in time here and I'm having so much fun.
In fact I feel like its better than UO ever was. I really like how there's actually open land still available for houses. When I used to play on the OSI Atlantic server it was just way too over-populated and adding the Fel / Tram world split never solved the problem. I feel like the smaller community is going to make this perhaps the most enjoyable MMO experience I've had to date and to believe its free! Well - sorta - I'll definitely be making donations. The ppl running this shard deserve it.

And the best part about donating, is you cannot get ingame items, and all donations are used for the shard, they don't pocket it for a profit. A truly dedicated staff. best server ever.

"~Seiroth - back to killing rats now"
I'd upgrade on this idea and try some mongbats, skeletons, or something similar/low end. GP doesn't come very quick killing rats.
