The Kingdom Reborn client which will be released in 2007 will be a huge visual upgrade for UO.

I understand that this game is "fun" and all, but I mean c'mon. Why would anyone make an MMO with those type of graphics anymore, and then go and charge a monthly fee? This is the 2nd generation of MMO's, and you can't just go making 1st generation games now. Really, I mean, why? Just go play WoW, Lineage II, or even Everquest (II)...

True, I doubt it will bring any new players to the game but it may keep the ones they have left :)

Yeah i stopped playing UO when they tried to implement 3d into it... it ended up being too laggy, and it was a little...ehh... strange. I kept playing the game for a few months after 3D, but ended up giving up and playing ROSE online until WoW. They had a great thing going back in the day when the game was 'modern' but they aren't really expanding the game too much, and when they added samuris, i sighed cried and died inside.

But for whoever plays it still, hope you have fun ;)

There is a lot more to a game than graphics.

To offer a similar comparision, the Ford Mustang, while having appealing looks, has been a crappy car for decades until recently.

Ultima Online in many ways offers the deepest and richest gameplay and succeeds in being a better game than most if not all the examples - and yes I've played them all.

UO Is absolutely great. Of course all games end up dying. They've seriously killed some of what made UO so great. The ideas behind not being level or gear based were amazing, and now it's becoming more and more gear based.

rip? are you crazy. i agree that they destroyed a part of the game when the introduced "3D". but theres still tons of great free 2D shards out there. from time to time i go back and play on some of them for fun =)

Ultima Online will prevail!
