What will YOU do first?

Shard launches are very exciting, especially one of this caliber! No vendors, no marked runes, no bulk regs, very challenging! Me personally I will start by making my T hunter, my favorite character to play! Thunters are best for farming gold because of the security, the chests are usually in the middle of nowhere free of dungeon dwelling PKs. Plus magic items are a good seller!

Get into my most comfortable bananahammocks, put the sodas on ice, start book 2 of harry potter audio tapes, and log into Ultima Online. Now my in-game shenanigans begins I will be claiming my land and working on a house location. Imagine that scene from the movie "Far and Away" where they are in the Oklahoma land grab. That will be me. But first, I am going to put on a rusty tin can helmet and below quality wooden club and beat down rats and slimes for and skeletons. Maybe I will have a tamed dog or two helping me out.

Grab about 30 cans of coke, a piss jar, and my laptop. I'm not going anywhere for the first 12 hours strait.

That's interesting. I'm not going anywhere for the first 120 hours, but I won't even log a player character in.

i see your 30 cans of coke, piss jar, laptop, 12 hours and raise you 30 cans of pepsi twist, a catheter, a desktop and 16 hours straight.

the first thing i will do is make a provo/mage and eventually turn him into a t-hunter which im sure half the shard will do as well

[tehgak]

Probably get guard whacked at the brit bank. It's been awhile.

Touche :P I won't reveal my exact whereabouts, I'm likely to be found in the Minoc mines somewhere. Ground pounding away.

[Iced Earth]

Hopefully I will start the shard with my guild from rev, Ally, and we will hit the ground running and get established early. Depending on how the shards mechanics pan out, I will start either my warrior or mage right off to build gold and stuff.

[TheAppropriator]

I'm torn between pure stealth thief or mage pvp theif.

[Dirus]

I am going to make the character I have found to make the most gold right off the bat, make that character in addition to a support/gathering one and get one of the two rad house spots I want before they get snatched up.

Making sure the server's up and running is a job in itself. Props for the dedication.

These are the kinds of people we're up against Jay. We'll have 7xgm's running around PKing us while we kill Skeletons with no skill over 65.
Can't wait to play here.

rot, ever heard of it? you can only gain so much every day, and as you get high in a skill, that will become more difficult. unless a player is actively out in the world and killing monsters for skill scrolls, his skill won't gain very quickly. it will be a while before were seeing sevel time gm's.

Well, I'm keen enough to chuck a sicky for the first week of shard launch... So hopefully I wont be too far behind :)

I can only imagine the black guy from Family Guy saying "ewww... your so nasty."

Skill scrolls. Ever heard of them?
Toodles.

[Aluster]

The first thing i am going to do is make a **** character, go to BG wait till some idiot is almost dead, strike him down in Odins name. Take his/hers **** go to the brit bank throw it all over the ground for noobs to pick up while running around naked with a wizards hat screaming i am the mashed ****ing potatoes. Followed by deleting that character and actually starting a real one more then likely a dungeon crawling dexxer. But still i want the first thing in my game to be that feeling of ripping out someones hopes and dreams and making them miserable and then with that out of the way i might be able to play for real.

yes, if you had read the whole three sentences in my post. but your going on the idea that skill scrolls will just drop non stop and people will gm in a week..

[abm]

Toodles.

Awesome word. Doesn't get used nearly enough.

[Romp]

yes, if you had read the whole three sentences in my post

Now why would I do a thing like that?

[abm]

Pretty sure I am going to kill some bad guys, get some loot and build a house.

[PowerArmor]

Probably lumberjack or mine, make something to sell to the vendor, macro magery till I hit the RoT cap and then farm with blade spirits. I am boring.

[keuse]

What do I do first?

Create two accounts.
The first account will be my resource gatherer, I will chop wood and sell until i can afford resources for account 2.

The second account I will have macros running on and I am going to make a thief
