Jhelom is an Island town. The island is rather small but you shouldn't get lost on it for too long. There is a way off, via the moongate but if we're planning to meet up, I would recommend staying on it for the moment. Especially because it has a lot of useful things.
Jhelom is where we're planning to meet. IIRC, you should have started somewhere near the red X on this picture. I'm going to draw some places of interest but not the entire town.
UO uses text commands for certain functions. In order to access your bank storage, you need to go near the bank (which should have banker npcs inside or nearby, they would have names such as "Joe the Banker") and say "bank" without the quotes.
Also, if you get attacked inside town, say "guards", again without the quotes.
To interact with NPCs, you usually need to single left click on them once which will bring up a menu or say things like "vendor buy" "vendor sell".
Also, the teleporter in the picture will take you to other sections of jhelom. It is possible to get back to the main area via another teleporter.
Also I would suggest avoiding the graveyard at the moment.

Please, someone keep a thread bumped on /v/ (I know the 100 comments thing is difficult) but we're in desperate need of some /v/irgins with UO experience.
The 20 of us in IRC are ready to commence epic lulz, but we need guidance, and someone to start our guild.

If you want to select your own skills upon character creation. Select the "Advanced" option during character creation.
Here's some basic newbie info.
Double left clicking your character brings up your paper doll.
Once you have your paper doll brought up, you can double left click your backpack near your characters feet to open your bag. Drag and drop shit in your bag, it functions like an IRL bag almost.
Drag stuff from your bag onto your character like the knife.
If you want to pick stuff up from the ground, drag it onto you or into your bag.
Hold left click on something to drag, and release left click to drop.
To close menus, right click them.
Whenever you use a skill or take part in an action which might benefit a skill, your skills will increase.

Press alt + c to enter warmode. Press it again to exit.
(run/walk by holding right click)
Once in warmode, you can double left click a living target to consider yourself "attacking them".
This will get you killed in town if you attack something with a Blue name. Because towns have guards.
Blue names = innocent
Grey names = criminal
Red names = murderer
If you attack something/someone who has a Blue name, this will flag your name grey temporarily.
If you kill enough players, this can make you go red, which means you can no longer enter towns with guards.
I would suggest trying to avoid going red for now. =P

Press alt + s, this opens your skills menu.
Press the arrow things on the left side of the skills menu to open and close their respective lists.
Some skills can be used from this, (there's a way to assign skill usage to hotkeys but don't worry about it for now).
Skills which have a blue circle next to them usually need to be activated by clicking on the blue circle. Some skills have specific requirements in order to use them. Like you need an animal target in order to use the taming skill. Or a piece of armor in order to use the arms lore skill.
Other skills can be gained through different methods. Like if you spend time fighting with a mace, you'll gain mace fighting and tactics.
Also, make sure the arrows on the right side of the skills menu are turned upward so you gain skills.

Wait, sorry about that, alt + s opens the stats menu I think.
I forgot the key for the skills menu, just open the paper doll and select the skills button.
I'm too tired to list anything more right now.

Also, when you log out. Your character will remain ingame for a few minutes unless you're at an inn.
And if you were in combat recently, even if you try to log out at an inn, your character will remain ingame for a few minutes but you can still log out.

Well count me in. I just installed my old OU:Renaissance CD..After forever of patching..(probly would have just as fast to download from fileplanet..) and Installing Razor..I'll be grinding my Fishing and Fencing again with you my /v/ buddys.
Get UOAM, go to IRC and get server info and stay with the group at jhelom docks. you can train without people bugging you. We're all hidden in/stealth so if somebody attacks you we'll all pop out and SUPRISE BUTTSEX them. (its happened a few times)

Character "Jive Turkey" is a mole and should be considered KOS until further notice.
Charge is killing just every one of our groups tame that could be gotten to before disappearing from IRC and UOAM(proven) but not before doing some rapid thefts before anybody would react (in game noticed, but not conretely proven).
