To all Iberia Trading Company members

iannoman17iannoman17 Posts: 4Member Beginner

Kim and I apologize for not being able to contact you, this
forum is screwy and didn’t allow us to do anything.  We were away for a while, taking a break from
UWO, and we came back to this.

Kim and I both agree that this is a sign, that it is time
for us to leave this game.  We were
shocked by the server wipe, and honestly, were not angry, but
disappointed.  We can no longer “enjoy”
the game because we need to regrind a lot of things in order to truly “enjoy”
the game.  We are at a stage of life that
we cannot devote such time commitment. 
We may transfer the account and just to pop in to say hi to folk, but we
probably won’t be playing.

With that said, to all the folk who had been in the company,
I bid you goodbye.  And especially those
who were particularly active the last couple of years.  I encourage you to start again, and carry on
the tradition, then I have a place to come to at least to say hi.  (We can actually be a pawn for your company
for contributions).

Bye all,

AlonsoGarcia and Rosalie/Josianna

    I'm sorry to see you and Kim go, Alonso, Lug and I are giving it a while to see how it goes. Old ITC members will be welcome in Catch22 in Lisbon if ITC can't relaunch. Catch22 should be up by the 20th.

    Ian, Kim, it has been great playing this game with you. Hope you'll be back.

    Are there any other ITC members out there?

    Are you sure there's no desire to begin anew with everyone on an even playing field?  I mean, I'm not from Iberian Trading Company, but I do remember Rosalie...

    Not good, totally not good.  I hope someone will restart this company, it was great.

    I hope you come back, Alonso. At least to say hi.

    @shelleyl, thanks for the offer. I will see.

    Anyone else from ITC out there? I've not been able to post.

    Thanks for the offer, this is Nomero.  I will see if there are any replies from comp members.  I'm thoroughly disappointed that Kim and Ian will not be able to play.  I hope Sherlock, or Toad or someone from ITC speaks up.

    Hi Alonso and Rosalie and ITC!

    I would pretty much echo everything you said about being very disappointed in how our new owners have treated the UWO community so far.  I wish there would have been time for a proper goodbye, or time for feedback from the community that our new owners might actually listen to (!).

    (Or for that matter maybe just forums that weren't so wonky and disorganized so we could actually keep track of our old friends from the game...)

    Life's crazy enough right now that I couldn't imagine putting all that lost time back into a post-server-wiped game, so as with you guys I see this as a good time to hang things up.  Though hopefully I'll get to stop by at some point in the future in my level 1 school clothes just to say hello and share old stories (I finally get to do that instead of being the company noob!?).

    ITC <3 + UWO <3

    *For past (or future) ITC members, I still have a giant google sheet of all 500+ UWO ships + their stats + skills, as well as all the different FS and NC ship parts, up to the last OGP updates that I'd be happy to share and would love to find a new curator for... maybe send me a note (assuming there's some way to do that here?!).

    Billie and Jack enjoyed the game so much more being a part of the company.  Thanks for all the insights and help my last year or so.  Do not know if i will continue.. At my age (66) one of three things will most likely happen before i get 5 accounts with toons with over 180 total levels again.  !) go senile. 2) another wipe, or 3) I'm dead.  For once i am serious! 

    I do know that I will not be spending any $, so r20 SB will be years away waiting for the last +1 SB items to be plundered. At least the wipe got rid of the 200 Justacotes for trib  i had tucked away!

    Rivea!  Check your message!

    @Everyone else, I'll just go ahead and start the company with Oscar like last time.  Hope to see you there, including you, Ian and Kim.

    @Moochiecat

    Oscar here.  I hope to see you.  The thing about r20 is that, thank goodness I never grinded that.

    XM!

    I’m not sure I’ll be playing, because I just don’t have the
    patience to go through that all over again. 
    Rosalie was 81/84/80+ (I finally beat you on adventure level!!!),
    Josianna was 71/79/85.  On the same
    account, that took a long time to plan and play.  It’s a good thing I didn’t spend any more
    money after I got to OGP, but I did spend a ton in NM that lasted through OGP
    days.  Wiping all of my things means that
    I have to do Nanban runs.  While Ian is
    into that kind of stuff, I just like to sail around adventuring and pirating
    (and giving return things to) the traders. 
    I can’t do that anymore, so it’s no longer fun.  I don’t like the grinding, but I did it
    because in order to enjoy the game, I had to grind.

    Not only did I lose my character, I also had my captain’s
    log that I reallllllly worked hard at.  I
    wonder if I can get that back on the archives, but I don’t see it L 

    Besides, you left me to play here by myself. :P

    To ITC members,

    Ian will probably make a character or two to pop on.  Maybe I’ll do the same to say hi.  Good luck to all of you.

    @Nom

    Once you get it set up, I’ll log on and give you my rewards
    to donate to the future ITC.  I have two
    accounts worth, I think Ian has three.  Good
    luck.

    Hey all, Jack/Billie, Oscar, mamacat/Auntie, Rivea(Congratulations!!?), Triston, CaptJosh, Bortini(?), and Keterina.  XiahouMao (I think I remember you, didn't you officiate the simRTK?)

    I'm happy to see that you are starting this back up, then I'll at least be a contribution dummy for you.  I can do that much.  I know exactly when the contributions are.  I'm just happy that I don't need to be in charge of it anymore.  

    In any case, I will also donate whatever money I have to ITC (Oscar?)  Has anyone heard from anyone else?  

    I might just do SB grinding, just for the heck of it, because I can do that afking.  We'll see.  I'll see if Kim's going to be convinced to play.  I doubt it.. :(

    @Nyliret, that's so cool!  I'll sign up soon.  Keterina.

    @ Alonso, Good to hear from you again.  I hope to see you as well.

  • irahaiginirahaigin Posts: 81Member Beginner
    Finally, we can bump this.  I'll be signed up as Oscar

    @ Nyliret 

    Thank you so much.  I think that's a great idea.  At least I'll check on that forum once in a while.  Look for AlonsoGarcia coming to your forum.
  • NyliretNyliret Posts: 9Member Beginner
    Okay, so far, I've got Keterina and AlonsoGarcia.  Oscar, I haven't gotten you yet?
  • irahaiginirahaigin Posts: 81Member Beginner
    Nope, not yet.  It's late here, I'll do that tomorrow.

    I will probably be back, but limited playing time will be available for the foreseeable future.

    Triston is in.  RossRhea, you are welcome to come to uwo.monkeytee.net to register if you'd like.  I think you're one of the token few French people that we had.

  • KimcheKimche Posts: 7Member Beginner
    Nyliret, I will sign up for the forum.  I actually have an idea that I want to run through you.  That forum is very familiar to me, I'd like to propose a way to spice up the game that I might consider coming back to.

  • NyliretNyliret Posts: 9Member Beginner
    RossRhea, OscarBruno, and Rosalinda (Rosalie/Josianna) are in.

    @ Kimche

    I just saw exactly what you are doing.  You bring back some old old memories.  I hope it goes well.  I might or might not join in.


  • iannoman17iannoman17 Posts: 4Member Beginner
    That was the only way that I can see to get Kim back... sorry.
