Whether or not you have enjoyed or even have played Ultima Online in the past, fans of the MMORPG genre owe a lot to UO. UO was one of the first massively multiplayer games that put the "massive" into the equation through both its scope and number of players. To commemorate its 10th year of operations, Ultima Online is set to get a complete facelift in the form of a complete graphics overhaul with Ultima Online: Kingdom Reborn. Additionally, this overhaul is going to be 100% free to all current subscribers of the game.
Every MMORPG gamer has farmed, but not all monetized it. For Venezuelans, it was done out of necessity. This is the story of how Venezuela became a leading country in gold farming.
After over a decade, developer Broadsword makes MMO news as a legacy shard for UO called Ultima Online: New Legacy is announced.
Interesting, I played UO from day one. My main question would be is stealing allowed and how does PVP work or is it going to be baby mode with a new name again?
From what we are seeing Trammel and Felucca are no more which brings PvP back to the forefront. According to UO.com more information will be released via the UO Newsletter.
Raph Koster, lead designer of the classic Ultima Online has started a brand new company and is looking to create a completely original IP and build a new MMO.
Man Ultima Online one of my fave MMOs of all time. Really miss it the days running around brit graveyard as a red PK'er and having a house nearby to hide and stay away from the pitchfork mobs lool
Well hopefully this will not fall by the wayside as so many smaller MMO's have done.
i remember the first ultima(it wasnt online back then) that was out i had it for dos lol wayyyy backkk therree
This game set the stage for Everquest, Asherons Call, and World of Warcraft. Most these games still try to accomplish the level of depth that launch 10 years ago and made PVP in fantasy a standard. I remember the earlier pc games where I did alot of reading and moved in black and white. This one I played from the beta for roughly 5 years, talk about addiction. It was well executed, but failed to gain numbers month to month like WOW, but over time I'm sure the numbers are close. If you haven't checked it out and like fantasy, put WOW down and play something with some depth!
