Ultima Online - Do you remember this 10 year old MMO?

This is just sad, Ultima need more FPers. :frown:

Trying the free Trial now... I heard it was great. Want to get into it myself.

I didn't know FP had room for UO. I thought it was all WoW and stuff, but I was proven wrong once again.

I started playing a free strict-roleplay UO shard (Decusia) when I was 10 and then a few years of being GM I went to OSI. I joined the Oceania shard and quickly became regarded as a trammie :(. Made some friends though and got into a PVP guild which was a lot of fun. It did take a long time to get into the PVP though.

IMO it was at its prime during AOS and ML.

If you guys still are looking for a good private server, [url]http://dawnofages.net/index.asp[/url] (Dawn of Ages) is awesome. Only uses patch 6.0.1.4, but it has loads of custom monsters and items and we do admin hosted events such as monster bashes (all the players in a small room against hordes of monsters summoned by admins), races, and treasure hunts.
RP is accepted, but not required, and PVP is accepted, but has strict rules.

Is it just my imagination or was Ultima Online made by Mythic, the same guys that did DAoC and fucked up WAR?

Warren Spector mentioned this on his blog; he recounts some mysterious feature he designed with just enough simulation for a player to exploit it, and do something completely unexpected. And instead of patching it to hell and back he thought to himself "next time, I'm doing that on purpose!" :biggrin:

Also, I'm pretty sure it's still piracy to download that client, whatever server you choose to play on afterward.

Actually, you may want to check the UO website before making that claim, considering they offer the client download for FREE on the website.

Fuck yeah, I loved this game.

Ultima Online was made by Origin Systems, which was under EA since 1993. Origin and Mythic have zilch to do with one another.
