thanks for the feedback, guys, i do appreciate it. i think i will give both shards a try (hopefully they support my just bought version, which includes
everquest + ruins of kunark + scars of velious & shadows of luclin;
do they?), then see which one i feel more comfortable at.
as far as uo goes. i have been playing and staffing at
http://www.alexiashard.com for over a year. it may not be the biggest uo shard (usually around 10-30 players on at any given time), but it's stable, has been around for over 3 years, emphasizes on events as well as casual rp, has (for uo) a kicking race system, and hands out 3 GM skills upon joining. you need "age of shadows" to run it. pvp is permitted in all of felucca. malas and trammel are pvp-free (just like on osi).
anywho, thanks again for replying. i am definetely excited to start everquest for the first time ever. i will be a complete NOOB, which is a scary thought for someone who has accomplished just about everything there is on ultima online.
