Thanks for the invite, I'm glad there's a forum dedicated to ArteGordon's amazing script pkg, I've been a big fan of this and will forever use it on our shard.
BTW: My Stats: Tory , 33 from Calgary, Alberta (Canada) , Hobbies beside running a shard and scripting are Oil painting, Hiking, Skiing, Horseback Riding, Mountian Climbing and Spelunking.
GD13,

Greetings!
I'm quite new to UO and RunUO (and XmlSpawner). Never played on OSI and only played on freeshards. Been playing for almost a year and decided to try out on building my own shard. Have been at it for a month now and having great fun.
The first thing which xmlspawner impressed me was the xmlfind function which suggested to me that it'll be useful in managing spawns and also, xmlspawner allows you to generate custom quests (don't know how yet) so with features like that, I have got to start using it! Never looked back since

Hey all! I figure i lurk enough I might as well introduce myself.
I am the Lead Dev on Elysium Isles, been scripting for about 6 years now and I love it. Since we use XML spawners and quests I really need to get familiar with it, hence the lurking here. Favorite part of my work is definatly the Crafting System. I'd go so far as to say I have the most advanced and custom system , and if i ever finish it completly I do plan on releasing it for all. I dont usually post too often, as seen by my account on RunUO, but i am around. Outside life? Captain of track team for my school, and Master Electrician for my school theatre (in charge of lighting).

Hi I'm Rich. I'm 36. I run a shard with a small player-base. My favorite feature has to be xmlfind. It is wonderful! I originally installed XMLSpawner2 for its quest-building capabilities. But recently I have replaced all of my spawners with xmlspawners. I am still a relative newbie when it comes to using it, and that's why I'm here. You can expect to see me poking around often. I hope to get to know some of you better in the process.
BTW, the site looks great! I'm happy to have a place to learn about XMLSpawner.
godfood- 01-11-2006
Glad to have you Rich . Arte's done a wonderful job of adding lot's of useful information to the site. He's also ussualy very quick to reply with an answer to whatever problem you have. Feel free to plug your shard over in our Advertising forum.
Welcome to XMLSpawnerFan.com.
DrussRob- 01-19-2006
Welp... I'm Druss here and the really real world. I'm Dio on the Age of Darkstone, a shard I've been running and continuously working on for quite awhile now. It's a custom this and that shard, no freebies, no handouts, no instant skills, adult staff, great playerbase, blah blah etc..
Recently, the Megaspawner system had decided it was bored and was going to create enormous amounts of lag for no apparent reason whatsoever. So, I called up ArteGordon to send over XMLSpawner2 to teach it a lesson. Must've worked too... I've not seen Megaspawner since.
While working with XMLSpawner2 I'll be coming up with questions that I either dont know the answer to or that I believe is a question that has not been answered yet and that would be of interest to the general XMLSpawner2 public and posting those questions in the Q&A threads.
I was going to type more, however I'm cursed with short term memory loss most of the time. It surely does make running a shard interesting
PS: you can click my sig image to see my shards website.
PPS: I've never played OSI, and as a matter of fact up until just a little over a year ago I had no clue about UO. I had never played it, never even looked at it. I ended up on a free shard one day and liked it. Figured I could run a server too, so I downloaded runuo and started tinkering. I've only started teaching myself scripting a few months ago as well. Drop by my shard one day and you'll see how well I've done for what little knowledge I've had. I've always been electronically/digital system inclined. Once you get the basics of most systems the rest is common sense
Plus 4 1/2 years of Recording Arts & Sound Engineering/Basic Electronic Applications helps...
Greystar- 01-19-2006
I Finally got around to registering just been to lazy to do so. I used to be a GM on Prophecies, but retired (wanted to play more then I wanted to help and got burned out on UO For a while). Also Ran/Run my own shard that I'm transferring ownership to one of my friends so I can just play on it and someone else can take care of the hosting and what not. I'm a general all around helper and learning something new about XMLSpawner and scripting in general everyday.

Hey DrussRob, I'd love to check out your shard sometime. I tried signing in, I get the patche's just fne and UO Open's up just fine. I type in a name and a pw (tried a couple) and each time it satll's while "Connecting..." then comes back with the message "Trouble Contacting the Server". I'm guessing it's down or being worked on. Let me know when a good time for me to swing by your shard would be. It'd be nice if you were available to show me around.
DrussRob- 01-20-2006
As luck would have it I'm currently experiencing my first lenghty downtime. I'm at the moment fighting a corrupt save. Hope to get it back up soon.
godfood- 01-20-2006
Hopefully you can get thing's figured out. Just let me know when a good time is. You can Reach me Via MSN: xmlspawnerfan@hotmail.com or you can PM me on the board's here.
Dian- 02-07-2006
I guess I should go ahead and introduce myself here.. better late than never
Im Dian, if you hadnt noticed already
I have been working on UO shards for about 6 years, RunUO exclusively since its first beta release in 02. I am a fluent forum member and moderator of Ryandor.com which Im sure you all know of. I have a custom map my wife and I have been working on for 4+ years which is on the screenshots page of Ryandors main site, Ancient Legends.
Recently we have been reviving the shard, and are getting it rebuilt for reopening. As with anyone else, we have had our share of Real Life changes and were forced to close our shard awhile back. But with the help of a few others, we have some great things in progress again to get it back and running
And not trying to change this into an advertisement, but if anyone here who is trying to get a shard going, but just doesnt seem to be getting anywhere, give me a page. I will give you a tour of our map, and guarantee you will fall in love with it. We will be adding another custom map soon as well from Ultima 5.

Fafnir- 03-07-2006
Hello everyone! My name is Gary and I am a long time player of UO and a short time GM on a new RunUo shard.
I've been given the task of developing a training area for new players to our shard. I'm really enjoying the tools that Xmlspawner provides!
Arte will probably get tired of all my questions! :-)
