Over the years, ImaNewbie has tried in his own way to chronicle the ongoing history of UO. From starting out as a newbie trying desperately to gain skills and fame, falling prey to anti-social behaviour, dieing repeatedly, dealing with the bugs, lag etc. ImaNewbie has seen it all. Anyone who has played UO for any length of time, or visited some of the popular News and Discussion sites (Crossroads, UO Vault, Stratics, etc.) has to have noticed the amazing amount of time spent discussing, dissecting, criticizing, ranting and whining that goes on about nearly every facet of the game. ImaNewbie has tried to take a light hearted look at many of these events and it is with that in mind that I present the following cross-index to some of the the major topics that have affected us all as the game evolves.

I have divided the index into two sections. The first section deals mainly with controversial aspects of the game that have been, and in many cases, continue to be argued to death on the UO forums and boards all over the web. The second section deals with some of the other recurring themes more specific to ImaNewbie himself that have occured during Ima's life in Britannia.

Note: You may notice that some of the reference numbers appear in more than one category. This is done deliberately where a toon deals with more than one topic

Using this Section - Each of the toon references links to that toon. To get back to this index just hit the "Back" button on your browser after viewing the 'toon.
