I think most of the high fantasy role players left
UO a fair time ago.
And who can remember Breed the sea creature? [My own creation and a character who I hope gave a lot of players a lot of fun]
My advice is to play it with consistency, thought and consideration for others.
Look at all those Vampires [not the stupid Hammer Horror types] we used to have? Not to mention the Drow of Naeloth?
High fantasy characters are perfectly fine as long as you dont over play them and make them ridiculous.
Who recalls Muldran Skully? Arguably the greatest role played mage in Sosaria - hardly "normal" - but "accepted" in Yew and everywhere he went.
Its about playing your character well! And making them believable!
