New player saying Hey and thanks for the e-bolts

[Alden]

Hey guys,
I posted in the newcomer forum but also wanted to post here. It's great getting back into UO. I quit a while ago when my old shard ran out of steam. Just found this one and saw the population. It does not disappoint.

A couple of thanks for:
- Just starting out I don't have any regs or the ability to cast ebolt. Thank you for giving me your ebolts. I can only take one or two before I have to sleep them off, but keep them coming.

- Sometimes people get wrapped up on how much gold they have... thanks for taking mine. I do NOT want to get greedy and I'm happy to share the wealth. After all, your e-bolt regs cost gold, I know.

I'm having a blast, grey screens and all.

We'll be happy to take your gold once you have enough.

Welcome to UOSA! Glad to see the PKs haven't frustrated you. Build up your skills, get some resources, prepare for battle and you'll be fine. Matron has a good thread for preparing yourself to "not die".

Hail, and well met!

To ensure your set up is correct, check your Razor settings here: http://wiki.uosecondage.com/Razor

(I know you didn't ask for that, but a proper set up is essential for a smooth gaming experience!)

Thanks for the tip on the razor set up.

One quick question, I couldn't find the hot key for run like a girl when a red shows up. (no offense to the ladies)

Is that a macro I have to create on my own?

Recall macro is the mage's equivalent to that

Run AT them! I get PKed all most every time the Reds show while I'm farming gold at . . . (like I would tell where I farm). So I just run at um. Sometimes I even get in a lucky string of hits. But I get Rezzed MUCH more & get gear back Much more if I give a fight. Reds want that rush as much as we do.

Only pk'd a couple of times today... cheers to you random red guy who leaves me my rune and recall scroll.

Day 3 update:
Everyone's been great with offering help and advice in IRC and in the game. I appreciate all you guys who help make starting over a little bit easier.

Most of the pks are pretty decent, even get rez'd.

I still don't understand the guy who takes my recall scroll and rune, and his friends who hang out and laugh about it, but ah well.

My only hope is UO is older than they are.

But not to end on a sour note... As soon as I get up and running, I'll be sure to pass on the help I'm receiving.
