Would anybody be interested in an Ultima Online server? - Games

[t]http://members.tripod.com/ultima_thule/uomapgif.gif[/t] So I have been going around asking some people what they thought of this game, and the general people said that they thought it would be a cool idea to start up a server for Ultima Online. Not a lot of people know about UO - So let me explain it here - Ultima Online was made in 1997 and is one of the first mmo/sandbox games, made off of the Ultima series and was designed to keep the freedom from Ultima and port it into a huge, expansive player-made universe. The game proved incredibly popular and to this day the game is still having expansions made for it. The game is basically a standard mmo (A large one, at that, there are 2500+ items to collect, 6 different worlds) but with the added addition of one of the most complex guild systems and the ability to build your own, custom house in the world. The custom houses allow you to show off all the jazz you collected, or even turn it into a player-made shop, guild house or basically whatever you hell you wanted. You can kind of think of it as wurm-online combined with the freedom of minecraft.

I can only put it into a list of features: • Own your ship and crew - Battle other players and get sea quests! • 44 different large-scale dungeons to explore (and a shit load of smaller ones) • 58 different skills, 7 professions, 3 races, 143 unique spells (See - Volcano spell, Tornado etc.) • Fluctuating economy - What might be 10 dollars today might be 20 tomorrow! • Complex PVP system, murder other players, steal from shops (Become a criminal!) and even take a chance in permadeath zones. • Make your own custom paintings, armor and items to decorate or wear. So I come to ask, would anybody be interesting in an Ultima Online FP server? It could be interesting what comes out of it, its super easy to run and play on almost any computer, it's a whole bunch of fun, trust me!

I love Ultima Online... I remember playing it years ago with my family and by myself and I loved taming different animals, the professions with how they played such a great role in the daily economy, I loved the PvP worlds and guilds and I loved most of all that no MMO can reproduce, the housing. Being able to place a house anywhere, customize it and place furniture was amazing and I was in love with it. I wish you the best of luck with the game of my childhood.

I remember the first time I made my way on to the land of PVP. I ran as fast as I could but He was on a horse and I was just a silly man on the run. They didn't even bury my body :( This sounds like a pretty cool idea. I still have like 4 store bought copies of the game (I bought the packs that came with expansions and shit. I started playing around the time Third Dawn (I think?) came out!

UO is probably my favorite game of all time. That said, it hasn't aged very well.

You know, if an MMO could pull off housing like they did, I'd jump on board probably with it.

i'm up for anything, count me in.

I'm in Sounds awesome
