This made me giggle.

This thread is now about your first experience in UO. Bonus points if it's it's a story of getting pwn'd by the learning curve.

My first time logging in was at my sister's house. I didn't even have internet at the time because my dad thought that computers were a devil box. I logged in, made a character in Vesper, then about 3 minutes later some guy ran up to me offering to sell me bone armor for my starting gold. So, he gave me the bone armor, I gave him gold after figuring out how trading worked.

After that, he kindly showed me how to go to war mode by pressing tab, and offered to help teach me combat skills. After some convincing, he got me to attack him, he called guards, then he got his bone armor back.
