Greetings & Introduction

[Patches]

Hello, all.

First, blame Zax. He found me, and he convinced me to come here. So, who am I? A big part of my experience on Shadowdale has been written as posts on Reddit. Just look up username Patches765. I have my own sub-Reddit.

You might see my name in the credits, under the name Turlo. Yes, it is I, Turlo Lomon, Lord of Luck, God of Fortune, and Patron of Fools. Patches (formally Patch) was my main playing character. Turlo was my builder/coder player, and the first single class thief to immort in the game. I also met my wife on Shadowdale, and we've been married for 17 years.

I have a large amount of coding experience, but got out of it mostly after Y2K passed. Now I just develop tools as needed, or UIs for a game (Yes, same Turlo as on EQInterface under featured artists), stuff like that.

I've talked at length with Luna and Drongo, and look forward to finally getting to meet Maxum. I am here to help. I left Shadowdale due to some irreconcilable differences with one of the higher ups and her lackey. It made the game unplayable, as a mortal or as an immortal. That issue doesn't exist here, and as such, I think we can really start moving forward together in making a classic game amazing again.

Anyway, feel free to ask me any questions. For the time being, I am re-acquainting myself with the project I haven't looked at since 1999.
