Any ex-UO gamers here? I'm revisiting the old game so I'm looking for any shards you can recommend? Here are two I've tried recenty that seemed to be a cut above the rest:

"Shadowcove: Prophecy, the Internet's best Free UO Emulator Shard! Shadowcove is an Ultima Online emulator centered around cooperative questing, economic development, friendly challenge, roleplaying, and plain-old monster hunting."

Awesome and friendly shard. If that doesn't float your boat though you can go to the other extreme of extreme RP and perma death - Be warned, it is super tough but also very rewarding:

Looking forward to hearing of more lands to visit!
