Firstly, the server is fantastic.  I played on Chesapeake from 1997-2002, and the systems in place for new players allowed me to get my characters set up in a day.  I've just become what I consider self-sufficient, and am starting to explore the quests, events, and EVO specific content.


NEW is amazing.  I had been playing on my own for a few days when I was found, shepherded in, and truly welcomed to the server. Hopefully you have some idea of how much a full spell book means to a new player.  It's truly appreciated, and I'm dreading the day I have to grow up.


I'd recommend continued integration of NEW into the new player experience.  Perhaps it's possible to send an in game mail to Merlina, etc. when a new account logs in?


The STAFF has been great.  Beginning with the restoration of my first skill ball after resetting my skills, and each help call for donations and finally forum access, the experience has been dang near impeccable.  Thanks for just moving my macro-spam away from Brit Bank instead of throwing me in jail.  Maybe a book in the new player sack that specifically directs to the RULES?  (I hadn't got to that yet.)


Lastly, the community.  From people guarding me in Fel when I was lagging, to the PKs who killed me then saw I was NEW and helped me with equipment and gold - it's been great so far.


So, thanks.  To all of you.  Looking forward to continuing my UO story HERE.

I'm glad you have had such a positive experience. Had to move you that day...jail was full! JUST KIDDING! Welcome to EVO
