Hello all, Just wanted to say Hello and that I am new to the server, hope to see some of you around as I learn the ropes again. Been awhile since I played in this era, truly anyhow.
Welcome aboard! Hop on IRC if you haven't already and say hello. Great group of folks and can answer any questions you've got about the shard.
Hey, welcome aboard! Going to echo what has already been said, great server, glad you've found your way here!
Hey, welcome! I started a couple months ago and the first character I made was a provo archer. I farmed orc lords and scouts in Occlo as a young to raise enough cash for a small tower and then moved to yew. I find it a fun build and you can make decent money in destard farming dragons. Not as much as a tamer of course but the game play is more action packed! I recommend the provo archer for starting out, it allowed me to become established with no help, which is how I prefer it. I also recently solo'd the pirate cave amib with same provo archer. Good Luck!
Welcome Ranker. Glad you picked the UOR shard to return to UO. I'm sure you'll like it here. Safe travels, Rhea

Hey there, To answer you question about archery - its just so so here, in all honesty. It is expensive to raise up (as opposed to any melee based skill.) It does not have a special attack (as opposed to any melee weapon style; swords/maces/fencing) High end archery weps are hard to come by, and are thus a little more expensive than other weapons. However, there are certainly times and places that archery is very useful (in a group to provide ranged support, as a defense turret when battle minning or the like, during special events when regs are hard to come by or tames have their power nerfed). What I, and many other veterans here would recommend you start with, is a provo dexxer instead. Choose a weapon skill you might wanna try (swords = most quantity of weapons, Axes do extra damage if paired with the Lumberjacking skill, Int/Mana dropping special attack/ Maces = second most quantity of weapons, stamina draining special attack/ fencing weps = hardest to come by the best types of weps, very fast, chance to paralyze briefly on hit special attack). Then get an instrument and start playing that thing like crazy to raise the skill ( you can set a macro to do this if you wish). In addition, take the Provocation skill at 50 when you make your character. This will allow you to jump into the action right away around Occlo island, with the option to macro up provocation during you afk times around the island as well. Many skills can be AFK macroed here, just as long as they do not involve collecting resources. This build can be used to immediate and fun adventuring, and to supply gold for whatever character you might wanna train next. That there is the established meta for most new players, however, you just play and have fun and see what you like and the community will be here to provide feedback if you wish.
