There are three items I consider vital, 2 of them are runuo items.
1. You need to download one of the shard packages (I have run RC1 and RC2 of RunUO 2.0 and like them both, I tried SVN but it is not compatible with all the RC1/RC2 files but most RC1 files work on RC2).
2. You need a client, most popular seems to be UOML - Mondain's Legacy, I use it myself and it works very well especially in 2d.
3. Razor (the other RunUO item). You need something to allow you to connect to the free shards as well as strip the encryption, this does both. I do not use any of the other items like ConnectUO (which is probably just fine - I just do not need it) and UOGateway was great when it was still working (but it has been shut down).
1&3 can be downloaded from RunUO.com and #2 can still be downloaded through links with UOstratics.com.
There are other items that are very useful too, but not needed. I would suggest a C# programming package (MS Visual C# 2008 express is free and works nicely on windows, otherwise on linux try MonoDevelop).
Hope that helps.
