Up until this upgrade of the UO, things have been great. Since this update on 2/11, logging onto the server has been very slow if at all. If you are lucky enough to get logged on, then you have to put up with all the lag, either because of all the custom houses on the server now, or because UO was not ready for an influx of people, either way, it makes for a lousy time. The new world Malas is too small, and does not really add to the game at all. I hope they can fix these problems, but if not, then I will be looking for a new online game.

10 bucks a month for servers that are crashed half the time?

I used to be a fan of UO but now its just not worth it, the gameplay still keeps its goodness and that's why I gave it 2 starts and not 1. But the servers are getting worse and worse, and now it's just not worth paying 10 bucks a month for a game that is laggier than Diablo 2. Don't get me wrong this is a good game with good gameplay and great fun but the lag is destroying it. If they decide to fix the servers I will bring my review up to a 5. If they make the game free but keep the laggy servers then I will only change it to a 3 because that would prove that Electronic Arts are just too lazy and don't care enough about the players enjoyment of the game to fix anything and they would have basically just give up on the game.

If you want a free online RPG with less lag then get Diablo 2.
If you want an MMORPG with little lag then get Asheerons Call, Asherons Call 2, or Dark Age of Camelot.

Not recommended.

Age of Shadows is very bugged to say the least. I've been very disappointed with game play. There is almost constant lag and disconnects due to server overloads because of lack of preparation by company. I would definitely not recommend this product to anyone at the current time.

I really disliked this version over the previous, its really a waste of money. In my personal opinion I'd rather play Avalon-rpg.com if i have to pay a monthly fee to play a game anyways. Its more diverse with better roleplaying and killing.

I do like this one better, but when it comes to the fighting and questing for the Palidon... too too many monsters gain up on you at once. I do recommend this game to anyone who has time and patience.

EA's Worst Game Ever

Yes Electronic Arts and Origin Software Run this Game. It was made to be addicting. I have played since it came out over 5 years now and counting. I am a uo addict yet my account is now up for sale. I am a disgruntled customer 1 of millions.
The game had endless possibilities, many character choices and was a challenge to learn. Yet they alter the game with very little notice and almost no care for player input. (...)The game itself is full of people who are worse then most in reality, evil greedy and take advantage of any including their best friends. Sexual activity (cyber sex) is also a big problem in this game yet little is done to stop what is wrong with the game, you are simply told to ignore it.(...)Sad to see a promising game that i have played for years end up in a coffin as it is dieing and has been for 2 years or so.I recommend Star Wars Generations, (...).It is in my best opinion that this games monthly fee be lowered to replace lost players and enhance revenue through quality of game play as well as quantity of players, yet this is not what is to be happening. The game will most likely be closed within 1 to 2 years in my opinion as the millions of players are now down to thousands, a substantial loss that should inform any that it is a losing proposition to invest in.

If there was an option for 0 stars I would of gave it

I am a semi-devoted 2 year UO vet, and I am here to tell you that every expansion pack goes through the same "dead" period at the beginning. I purchased UO: Third Dawn when it first came out, installed it, and found it to be horribly laggy and bugged. About a month later, I decided to try it again on my new computer, and it works perfectly. The thing you have to understand is that for the first month or two, it has to "get settled in". After that very buggy stage, the game will work superbly. Therefore, I recommend that you wait about a month, until prices go down, then purchase this game. This will allow you to miss this horrific stage of its lifespan, and come in when it is reaching its peak. I know a lot of you are angry with the housing issue, but you need to get over it. I'm sure that, sooner or later, they will find a way to make a TON more space for housing. Perhaps an alternate universe? To review the gameplay, the adding of two new professions (the necromancer and the paladin) is excellent. I am glad to have magic without having to carry around those regs. And the new item properties are very nice. In the end, you can buy now, and suffer through the buggy part (which isn't too bad), or wait a month and miss the first-settler advantages (but not have to go through the 'new expansion pack' start). Either way, this is a great game.
