Old School Sonoma Players

[Lexington]

Nope.... I just play here. It's my home away from work.

Are you just starting out or have you been here for awhile?

 

[Sunny]

I played it early 2018 for about 4-5 months, I couldnt get into it. I have to have duels to enjoy UO and I didnt see a single tournament or farm esq type dueling anywhere.

Booey is on this server too

Booey is on this server too

No he is not on the server now, at this moment.

Sunny, I don't remember actively refusing anyone a duel, and if I did, my bad. I was a dickhead, and there's a good chance that, at the time, I thought you were beneath my notice, cause... dickhead. For a while there, people just wanted to be able to talk about how long they survived against me, which leads to shitty duels, which led to me not dueling. If I didn't immediately accept, there's also a chance you asked after this happened.

I played a lot of characters. It pretty quickly became too hard to effectively PVP with Booey, cause I ran solo a lot and no one wanted to engage without backup. My ping was really low and I could hang in a 2 on 1 most of the time.

For what it's worth, I think you might have fought my primary backup mage, 'me me me,' in factions?

Mesdoram and I spent a huge number of hours dueling on test center when UO:R first began to phase in (when mind blast became relevant), and so we were both way ahead of our time. I milked that until I quit. The reputation -- at least among the fancy PVPers on the server -- was mostly from me doing stupid shit that failed a lot, but was amazing when it worked out.

I do vaguely remember me me me, I also remember not being able to shake you guys lol. I remember you being very fast for sure. When I was trying to get you to duel me you had sort of "retired" Booey. I hadn't ever had any encounters with you but everyone would always tell me ba ba booey would kick my ass. During that time period really about 99-03' I don't feel like anyone could have beat me. Obviously thats a bold claim and im sure many other people felt the same way. I'm just speaking from how I felt at the time.

Naturally when everyone is telling you someone you didn't know would smoke you, you would want to call them out. Thats why I ever called you out on pkpboards. I remember everyone speaking on your behalf, and they all said you dont duel anymore because of stat loss. Me being in my shoes believed that was a bs excuse, looking back I realize thats a very valid excuse. I was just addicted to dueling and 1v1s and couldnt get enough it, so when there wasn't anyone left to duel I started talking shit on pkp boards.

Ehh, who cares. Nobody really remembers anyway. Doesn't matter.

UO:F is fun, new people, old people, all new memories. What we all recall is that Sonoma was a good time - and which side of which team you were on back then doesn't matter anymore. Everybody remembers their glory days, and good for you if you do. I remember having fun, and rather than reveling in days long passed, I'm making new memories on UO:F with the crew I'm currently running with..

MMO's have never been about what you've done - they've always been about who've you've done those things with. Moments come and go, but friendships last the test of time. Make friends, make memories - and then you can make history be whatever you want.

Yo ho!
