Ultima's world of "Britannia" provides an infinite number of choices and professions, the skill system they use makes your character completely customizable. After thinking over what you'd like to do, head over to Stratics and read the professions related information. It will save you a lot of time and stress.
While you are there, make sure you read the news for any important updates. Stratic's is free, but if you don't want to deal with ads and pop-ups you can pay them to make them go away.
After visiting Stratics, and before logging into the game, there are two more sites you want to visit. Uoam.net is the site of the UO Automap. This map is a much better, more handy map then the one the game provides. It actually tells you what each shop in each city is, and you can adjust the zoom to the most useful level. Not sure where the closest moongate actually is? No problem, tell the map to zoom out and you'll likely find it real quick ! Best of all UO Automap is free. Belxan has done and excellent job on it, so please, if you can afford to, make a donation.
You'll also want to visit Tugsoft.com for a download of UOAssist. This invaluable resource makes mundane tasks in the game such as mining and picking up reagents needed for spells, much easier ! If you have decided on mining or fishing as a profession, go here before even starting, it will save you countless hours !
The last site you want to visit is believe it of not, is Ebay. That's right the famous Ebay auction site is where you can find gold, base materials for learning skills, and most importantly HOUSES. The housing situation on Ultima Online has improved a great deal, but for most people, the time required to find a place to put a house is prohibitive. Houses can also be brought in game, usually for several million gold pieces. Many players find the time it takes to save that amount of money, not worth the effort, and opt for purchasing a house on Ebay. It is important to note that when you buy a house or anything else for the game on sites such as Ebay, you are actually simply paying a "finders fee". The In-game item remains the property of Ultima Online.
After visiting these sites and doing some reading and downloading, you will find yourself much better prepared to have some fun in the world of Britannia, and if you have any questions left, you can always visit Stratics and ask on the forums. Help is usually quick to come, and the sense of community is heartening. After all that's part of why you are playing a MMORPG and not on the PC by yourself isn't it?
