Correct, single player and multiplayer will be two completely different worlds. You'll even be able to mod the single player version (which is one of the reasons you can't port to multiplayer). However, I believe there will be a setting that will al…
The problem with a classic shard is that the nostalgia doesn't last long for most.
The reason we all wanted a classic shard was because it was the good era, the one we remember fondly, the one of discovery. The problem now days is that there is no …
UO is pretty much dead in the water. At this point, it's far too gone to really revive it. By deleting everyones houses, you will essentially drive them away from the game since most of them are hanging on by a thread as it is. How many accounts rem…
I won't lie, my pants are a little wet. I just hope that it isn't rushed out the door. I wonder how long they have been working on it? I read a while back they were working with Mythic secretly which drown any hope I had about them putting out a dec…
People were more forgiving in the UO era because MMO was new and people were excited at the prospects of a whole new game style. Now there is a new MMO every month it seems and players are much less forgiving for incomplete releases. There is really…
The addition of LRC to UO is one of the things that was simply removing any amount of actual challenge to the game and made it much easier for people to implement cheating. By having regs, it not only made the game more interesting and keeping an am…
I absolutely refuse to buy an MMO that is in beta mode for this very reason. Being in beta gives them excuses as to why the game is in full suck mode and continue to delay features that were promised upon release. This means they are making money ju…
I got a 15 day account recently just to see what was going on and what I saw was shocking, but not really a surprise.
I saw nothing.
Meaning people... the shards are practically empty apart from Atlantic. The sad reality is that EA allowed the gam…

Well one area of contention for EA is that they would have to iron out all of the bugs, dupes, etc. before they could launch such a server -- they wouldn't launch it otherwise. However, plenty of free servers have bee…
3 years ago, I would have said yes... Now, I doubt I could go back to paying EA to play their game that they allowed to be smashed into the ground. even if a shard opened that was T2A based, the same bugs and dupes would exist that allow players to …
I recently started playing UO again to pass the time. There are some things that they have spot on with Pre-UOR and some not, but it's the closest I've found.
All the complaining about missing content in the game in... well, the pretty much Pre-Beta state it's been in is making me giggle a little and reminds me of another game that had a similar start:
I'm going to give it a go because I've waited so long for this game, but I'm keeping my expectations low so I'm not completely disappointed. This seems to be the closest thing to Ultima Online we have and so I'm willing to give it a shot till I win …
This is exactly why I've been waiting to buy it. I'm unimpressed with what I see so far and I refuse to pay for a game to play an alpha version, or even a beta version. Lets hope that when the open beta starts, that the flood gates open with all the…
I doubt I would come back even if they made it. A few years ago, probably. But not now.
The main issue with UO wasn't that progress was bad, it's that EA was very stupid and made some very ignorant decisions on how to force progress in UO. Expansio…

Keep an eye on Dawntide. Gotta love indie studios, their honesty, innovativeness and all. I'm also in love with their stylish homepage.
Checked it out. Looked interesting. Wonder why it's not on mmorpgs game list.
SL really isn't a game. It's a virtual chatroom where people can make content of their own.
Few things:
SL does host several miniature combat systems and they all suck pretty badly. Between the lag in massive graphical sims and shoddy weapons, i…

If you like UO you should definitely check out Mortal Online.
It's inspiered by UO. I am in the beta, it's really really promising. Those creating UO wanted to make a modern UO, but improve things that could be done b…

That was the first thing I done. It happens on all my games now.
This happened to me once when my graphics card started overheating and needed a fan replacement.
