My husband played UO a lot when he was in high school and just recently started again now that he has a little more free time. He is enjoying getting back into some aspects of the game, but he does say that the shard is quite empty a lot of the time. And he hasn't really met any other players (though he's talked to a few who helped him out but then he never sees them again) or any of his neighbors at his house that he recently acquired.
I have the same feeling about some of the online things I've done in my life, though I never played UO (we had a really awful computer and 19.2k dialup when it was in its heydey). Even LJ, which I've been on since 2002 on my first journal, has changed so much. Most of my friends I met here have moved on, and often I would go days with no new entries on my friends page, or maybe the occasional community post. So I joined a few new comms and met a few interesting people (like you!) on mission101, and maybe I'll become great friends with a few. Who knows what the future will bring?
