Ultima Online is a pivotal title in the history of online gaming, helping to introduce many of the conventions that are now considered standard in MMORPGs today. As of September 2009, the game will celebrate its twelfth anniversary; more amazingly, the game still has roughly 100,000 subscribers after all this time. With nearly a dozen years on the market, and a new expansion (Ultima Online: Stygian Abyss) releasing soon, we had the chance to talk with Mythic Entertainment Producer Josh Drescher and Mythic Entertainment Development Manager for Ultima Online Calvin Crowner, about the latest happenings of the game, what the future holds for Warhammer Online and the possibility of a return for classic Electronic Arts owned IP.
