Confessing my addiction

Hi, my name is Marie and I'm an Ultima Online addict. It happened about 7 years ago, when my ex bought the first CD, but I really got hooked when I made my first character.

Yes, I'm playing again. However, I'm on a player run shard so the corporate evil known as Electronic Arts isn't making a dime off me this time. Tonight, a few people I've met on this shard and I got together and formed a guild called the Merchants of Britannia, a group dedicated to making sure that the craftspersons of the land get a fair shake in the world. Yes, I'm heading up the MoB. Laugh all you want. We're laughing right along with you - we have guildtitles like "The Hammer", "The Chemist", "Enforcer" and the guildmistress' title: "Godmother". We figure that with a little work and a little muscle, we can control the magic armor and weapons market, but we know the real money is in reagents... mages and alchemists have a serious jones for those and if we can corner those markets, we can rule the lands.

Hey, we all need a good laugh or a little escape from the real world. I find mine in Sosaria.
