Oh bollocks, I was a gentleman, hell in UO I was for the vast majority 
an anti-pk. I only pk'ed after that got rough, and only for a little 
while. In WoW PK'ing means nothing as there are no consequences :) UO 
was very different.

Hey that's awesome to hear. I re-installed it a few days ago after I 
gave up on Warhammer Online (WAR).

I logged onto my level 28 Guardian and started running around 
(Elemdier?) and you know what? I had a blast! People my level 
everywhere, hell I even got invited into a fellowship after about an 
hour to do parts of the chapter 2 instances. I was blown away.

Confused as all hell, I had no idea what a lot of things where again but 
everyone in the fellowship was great and helped a lot.

But anyway I started up a new Champion (Ceolee, as some bastard has 
Ceowulf AND Ceo *grrr*) on the same server and after a few days casual 
play am now level 17. I'm LOVING IT. Wont be putting it down for a 
while. I'm really not sure what's changed since it came out, levelling 
doesn't seem as painful anymore and the storys and quests are so well 
done, on par with WoW's (yes I think Blizzard have good writers, don't 
laugh :p) and far FAR beyond War's.

Cheers I'll add it to my list of things to nab ones my quota resets :p
