This is the online game that started it all (argued as 2nd by some but I say it was first). First mmorpg and still going. Has novelties no other game has even tried to date. Building your own house from scratch! If you want to see how online gaming began this is for you.

Still going Strong

Nearly a decade for Ultima Online and its still going strong its often imitated but cant be duplicated.
Thats the point so many games use UO for a measuring stick but only UO can be UO.

Used to be fun, now its gone.

Due to wreckless game masters and constant customer abuse, I am closing my account with this game. STAY AWAY! Unspoken policies are abundant, and exist everywhere, making avoiding a ban like running from the gestapo!!!

The game used to have a wonderful gameplay system, this expansion wrecked it. On top of that, it is being patched out of its time. Less new players are coming in, and more players are leaving. I suggest you all stay away from this title.

Let me begin by saying I have been an avid citizen of Sosaria for 5 years and have had great experiences in this game and made many new friends.

That being said, I think this franchise has run it's course. With all the newer and more advanced MMO's out now, this game just seems stuck in the past. EA got behind the power curve of new games like EQ2 and WoW. I haven't logged into UO since WoW came out, for some reason though I just can't seem to bring myself to close my account... :)

UO still fighting the good fight after 7 years...

Ultima Online's main client still uses art from its original version, 7+ years ago. However with a secondary 3D client available, the game doesn't seem as dated. The game isn't however a graphics game. If you want flashy new, break your video card graphics, try another game.

However, UO does have a lot of factors that make up for its age. Community is a big one. With thousands of devoted fans who have built a thriving world that has survived some dubious expansion lauches, there is always someone for you to play with. With player-vs-player combat, crafting, commerce, and champion monsters that require a group, there is no limit to the possible interactions you will have with other players.

The character design system is flexible as well, and for someone who hates being pigeonholed by a class, I enjoy this system. You get around 700 skill points (every year you play gives you a few more up to 720) to spend on 40+ skills.

With custom housing, your character can run a business, start a library, or choose to be a hermit in a quiet villa. With armor, clothing, dyes, and tons of in game items, no two characters ever need look alike.

Origin, the company owned by EA that makes this game, had the motto "We create worlds." UO is a perfect example of what they meant.

The game is ok but the company sucks

I bought this game 2 weeks ago. There is no game codes in the box. I contacted the manufactory (Electronic Art) via email, website support, phone, and mail... They basically treats you like a scammer and keep you in a loop of email and website. I sent them the copy of receipt and barcode but got no answer. Buy this game at your own risk.

Best MMORPG by far

I have played many mmo's like EQ, L2, Daoc and several other minor ones and this one is by far teh best. It gives you much much more freedom then any of the other mmo's I have played. I have played for 5 years and still play everyday almost. The only problem I have found is the expansion AOS 2 years ago.

MMORPG

If anyone can enlighten, please do. Does the game not allow one to play against your computer without paying the monthly UO subscription fee?
