Looking for a UO server
I used to play alot of UO back in the day, some of the shards I played on were Shadowcove, Ackadia, and World of Dreams. All of those shards had a unique .spec system where you had to pick a few primary skills and secondary skills to make nice little build for your character. Does anyone know of a UO server that is still like that today and active? I know it's a long shot, but those were some of the best gaming years of my life. It's hard to find a server that still has those same systems in place and isn't littered with crazy pay to win mechanics.

Outlands is the largest and most popular shard

This one seems really cool? It's rather new I assume?
couple of months old. Its really nice
I'm testing it out now, you mind giving me a few pointers?
1 - dont make a tamer as a first character. the grind is brutal. I recommend bard dexxer (peace + macing is a good start).
2 - take your time in the newbie dungeon. Once your skills are at 70 (or close) to explore the land. Might be worth your time doing some exploring close to the cities before venturing in the dungeons. The first levels in all of them are easy, but they have a very high pk-per-capita on primetime.
3 - go to help/aspect . There is a lot of itens that you need to unlock to build an endgame suit. Whenever you got one of them, its time to go back to town and bank it.
4 - dont be greedy. Got 5k hunting mobs? bank it. Bank it fast. Lots of thieves and reds out there.
5 - read the wiki. Lots of skills are very different from vanilla UO. Tracking is really useful. Camping in nice too. Some skills can give you cool bonuses (music, tracking, camping and I'm quite sure that a few others). If you got tracking in your template be sure to set it to hunt for nearest red player. If you see a marker pointing to someone on the edges of your screen, time to hide\recall\run or whatever.
6 - join the discord. Seriously. You will have questions and there are people out there all the time ready to answer. Just make a note to never ask for help with a mob or puzzle or something. That's red bait.
and have fun out there :)
