Obligatory new player post....

Hi all,
I played on Europa from 2000-2001 (post UO:R booo! hiss!) before moving on to some other custom player-ran RP shards like Obsidian, Mytharria and Sanctuary. Played a fair few other MMORPGs including SWG, LOTRO, SWTOR and have a current subscription to EVE.
Anyway, I rolled here a couple days ago and it looks great so far, nothing beats seeing actual people at West Britain Bank!
I'm working on my stats/skills before heading out into the wilderness to find adventure. I look forward to meeting you all and revisiting the old days!
Colin
P.S. My rather unimaginative char name is what I called my first ever blacksmith char when I rolled on Europa all those years ago!

Welcome to UOSA!
I started last week again, great shard so far. Hit up the stats first, like you said and make progress from there.
Hit me up in IRC if you need any help!

Use of the word obligatory or perfunctory will make nerds like me stalk you. Better watch it.

So I wondered down to WBB last night and the place was very busy! Guess I'll be happy here.
Stats coming along nicely, time for some weapon skills now. Anyone here use Fencing?

Word. Fencing is common for dexxers, although with the new update to katanas, I think swords is making a strong case for itself. As a sidenote though, macing and fencing weapons are generally cheaper and easier to come by than swords weps.

I've gone fencing on my dexxer - somehow I'm finding Tactics insanely hard to GM though, I've been at 96% for about 3 weeks.

Tactics will only raise if it's close to the weapon skill you are using it with.
So if you are trying to raise tactics by using 0 wrestling, it will never gain, but if you have 90-100 fencing and macro with a dagger you will notice quick gains.
Also, just make sure you haven't set the arrow down or that you've reached the 700 limit.
