Hey David. The forums are a great place to stay in touch and plan future events/schedules, but I would recommend using IRC as an medium to get a more immediate conversation started. Most people who are working a champ spawn won't be refreshing the forums. Also, due to high amount of risk and time commitment required to complete them, most people won't readily include you unless your trustworthiness can be established and they can make sure they don't have to carry you. (I.e. you have to hold your own) Good luck and happy UO:Rdventuring.
Jupiter, thanks for the heads up about being trusted first. that didn't even occur to me. I was trying to get on to IRC but for some reason I wasn't able to connect so I started this thread. Kermit, I have no idea what PS is. Project Sanctuary?
Hey Scragg. I've had issues with the web irc client sometimes too. If you're using a work computer it might be prevented by some of the admin settings. A lot of the standard IT settings on corporate computers will block it. You can also try to download a free version of mIRC which won't be blocked by web browser settings
