When I started playing Ultima Online after a 16 year absence I immediately joined Gilfane and had no idea what I was doing.  Becca was kind enough to repair my jewelry every week for months before someone told me that I could do it myself with the repair bench at the hub!  Becca gave me so many things and resurrected my pet more times than I can count.

Becca is sorely missed.  My heart goes out to Becca's family and friends.

You have to double click on the town crier to open his window, then click city at the bottom, then click the Vesper banner, second from the right side.

Governor Bithmus of Vesper needs your help!  See the town crier's Vesper News section for more information.

Welcome Kaimo!

Welcome Gravy Jones, glad you made it here!

Using the classic client, I have always been able to copy text from my computer and use Ctrl-V to paste into a book in UO.  I have never tried in the enhanced client.

Welcome!

Glad to have you!

Hello,

This is actually a re-post from the Stratics forum, https://stratics.com/threads/who-are-we-on-siege-old-new-and-returning-players.369794/page-2#post-2952028.

I started Ultima Online on the Lake Superior on opening day in 1997. I had the beta CD but I can't remember if I ever got the beta working before opening day. My first character, Bisthmus, was a tamer, mage, warrior. I wasn't very good but it was a ton of fun. I mostly stayed in the Vespers, Minoc, Cove, Covetous areas. I met a guy named Toadness in Covetous and I was amazed by his ability to cast level 4 spells without fizzling! He showed me Hyloth 4 and other tougher areas. I eventually met him in real life when I went to the University of Illinois where he was a student and worked for the Illinois Natural History Survey, the largest bug collection in the world! I started a guild near the Minoc T2A cave for a year or so. I also had a bard named Phil that I kept blue but every chance I got I would provoke wisps onto people to kill them.

At some point before or when Trammel arrived I moved to Siege Perilous and started Bithmus the tamer. I helped Luxor with Safe Haven, which was located near the Minoc T2A cave. You can see links to news stories I wrote on Stratics, UO Stratics - News - Archives and Luxor's safehaven.grishnet.com here, https://web.archive.org/web/20010724035707/http://safehaven.gishnet.com:80/, and here, https://web.archive.org/web/20010405195759/http://www.siege.gishnet.com:80/crows/crows02.html. I never met Luxor but my dad was in San Francisco for work and met him at gamers.net, where he worked. Side note: I think he once told me that he chose the name Luxor because he was at the Luxor massacre, Luxor massacre - Wikipedia. Disclaimer: I could have miss-heard or be miss-remembering this.

Now I've returned for Endless Journey as Bithmus on Siege.


I've been playing for a few weeks and I'm interested in joining a PvM guild with some possible forays into VvV.  Are pets allowed in VvV?  I realize that as an EJ player I won't have access to houses but I have no need for houses or items, just people to play with.

Thank you,
Bithmus
