An Interview with an Advisor
October 02, 2014 By: Ludes Stratics
So I grabbed my Reporter notebook and did a quick interview with one of our new Advisors..
Ludes: Hello
Hekima: Hi
Ludes: Thank you for coming..
Hekima: My Pleasure..
Ludes: So just a few questions for us Catskillians..
Hekima: Ok
Ludes: Tell us about your Ultima history…Did you play the single player games?
Hekima: No I didn’t actually play the single player games myself… However I did have some friends in college that did.. It sounded like an interesting game..
Hekima: But with studies, work, etc… I just never got to it.
Ludes: When did you start UO?
Hekima: Long story there..
Hekima: My ex wife had a friend who had a brother who beta tested EVERYTHING…
Hekima: So we opened our first account in April of 2000.. I had a toon on that account for a while.
Hekima: Back then it was a 5 toon limit.. and she wanted the last slot.. So I had to open a new account..
Ludes: So that was just a couple years out of beta?
Hekima: That was June or July of 2000 … Yes.. Her account opened just as Trammel went live..
Hekima: My account opened just as the housing telestorming started…
Ludes: Right after T2A?
Hekima: Yes
Hekima: then I opened my third account in 2003..
Ludes: So you’ve been playing a while.. Tell me this.. How do you find our shard? Friendly? Standoffish? Quiet ? Busy?
Hekima: Over the years I’ve not really spent much time on Catskills.. My main shard is Chesapeake..
Hekima: The people that I’ve met in the last week are very nice, warm and welcoming..
Hekima: Several even offered to take me on their adventures or give me tours of their villages..
Ludes: So as an Advisor.. what times are the best to see you around?
Hekima: Generally in the evenings.. and on weekends… I try to be on as much as possible.. but I like to run my {regular} characters too….
Ludes: Of course..
Ludes: So have you been tempted to make a character here on Cats and play here a little?
Hekima: Possibly… I do have toons here on Catskills mostly just for when I trade cross shard..
Ludes: The local feeling on the Advisor program is good.. it makes people feel that Broadsword is taking a more “personal” approach to the players..
Hekima: It is my pleasure to assist…
Hekima: *smiles*
Hekima: Remind everyone that they can contact me or Advisor Skeets by hitting the Help menu and clicking “Contact Advisor”
Ludes: It was very nice chatting with you today Advisor Hekima… thank you very much..
Hekima: You’re very welcome..
