Alright, sweet! Thank you for your responses. I was hoping to see the answers that I recieved. I'll be joining as of today, and I'll be bringing a few people along.
I am curious though, is there any way to personally have my exp/drop rates reduced to normal settings, like through just asking the GM's or even donating for it? Or is that probably too much work to fix on one person (or a small group)? My Fiance' and I loved the GC game(s), and although the increased rates are incredibly awesome and I know they do reduce the higher level you get, I'd still like to have the full "original" grind feeling from lowered rates. If it's not possible, no problem, we'll still love playing on Ultima, but I figured I'd ask.
