I have no problem with the game or gameplay, in fact I was looking to buy another account, but looking at the price of the second age disk, 30 bucks, I thought..this can't be right. I mean, it's over 5 years old and it's one of the earliest expansions to this great game, so why does it cost so much?

Ultima Online: The Second Age, is definatly in my book, one of the best games out there. You can play with thousands of players online, interact with people, and do about a million different things.

Iv herd people say that the lag is the worst in the world, and that you need a supercomputer to run it without lag. This is not true. Iv got a normal 56k modem with a normal internet connection and I have never had any problems.

In conclusion, buy this game! It's one of the best, expesialy if you want an online game. Then it IS the best.

I used to watch my friend play this game online, and I thought, now this looks like a game that I could get into. I was totally right. After a few problems getting a registration code, I was up and running. Even with my outdated 56K Modem, it still ran just fine. Even though the graphics may seem outdated, it still is a great game. The game updates by itself, the largest online game in the world (guinness book of world records 2000 edition) and a game that will suck you in with its cool gameplay. The requirements are kinda steep with 500 MB of space, but its cool. Trust me, you gotta get this game.

Really Great Game

If you are the type of person who like Role-Playing Games, then you will definatly LOVE Ultima Online. As you play a charactor on your screen you will see many other charactors, and they are people just like you sitting at their computer enjoying themselves playing this great game. When you first get this game it will be hard to get used to but after you play it for about a week you'll get a hang of it. All those beginning frustraiting days will pay off and you will be addictied to this game.

This game gets very addictive once you start it. I will have to admit that when you begin your start in this great Fantasy world that it seems like you're not going to get anywhere, but that isn't true. Keep playing, you will get it eventually, and then its great!

You can choose to have your character do over many, many things. You can be a swordsman, or a blacksmith, tinkerer, or perhaps a fisherman. You may choose an artist, or a musician. Or maybe you can be a theif or a cold blooded killer. The fun can never end. If you start to get bored after awhile, start something new! Be something else, explore new cities. Play on new shards, meet new people. This game goes on forever!

To give you an example, here is what im like in the game... My hometown is Vesper, where I began playing. I started out as a swordsman and faught smaller creatures. Got gold, but not too much. Then I decided I needed more and became a Carpenter, cutting down trees and making shields and furniture then selling them to make a profit. Then I made a blacksmith to help in on the money. Now I am a Grand Master blacksmith, and a master miner. I mine different minerals and make items of weapons and armor. This is the kind of things you can do in this game! Become famous and kind like the way I did. Or do evil crimes and murder people and have a bad reputation. Its up to you! Its in your hands!

I recommend buying this game! You'll have fun, trust me. =)

UO is a good one.

This is the most addictive game I've ever played. I will caution you that once you start playing, you won't be able to stop. $10 a month is pocket change and it's well worth it. The game is however very laggy, and this can be very, very frustrating. UO is a skill based game. This means that each character (you can make up to 5 characters on each server) has 36 different skills (swords, magery, blacksmithing, animaltaming, etc.). Each skill will be between 0 and 100 (each character starts with 100 skill points which can be distributed among either 2 or 3 different skills). Depending on the level of each of your skills, your characters can do different things (practicing skills will raise them). Also each character has strength, dexterity, and intelligence between 0 and 100. BE CAUTIONED: All 36 skills added up can cannot exceed 700. Also your strength, dexterity, and intelligence added up cannot exceed 225. This means you shouldn't make one character, for example, a mage, a blacksmith, and a tamer. But you can, for instance, make a mage, a blacksmith, and a tamer with 3 separate characters. This game will seem complex when you first start, and there are tons and tons of lots of tricks most good players know about fighting and increasing skills. But you will learn them as well. It takes a massive time commitment to make a few good characters, but it's a very fun game.

Yeah, I've Felt that way at times. . .

Ultima Online is a truly diverse game. I have played it for over a year now and am entirely pleased with it. "Former UO Player" expresses feelings I have had with the game perfectly. HOWEVER, I usually only feel that way after I have been PKd ;-). There are a lot of mean people that play this game only to frustrate us "roleplayers" it seems, but it is easy to avoid them.

If you play this game long enough, you will meet a core group of people to hang around with. whether you are a starry-eyed, neophyte adventurer or a grimy, grey-faced blacksmith, you WILL fill some niche in this HUGE and diverse society. You can join a guild and hack through a dungeon with a group of friends who are striving to eliminate evil, or you can band together with thieves and brigands to intercept some poor inexperienced group of adventureres. Its all up to you.

It is worth $19.99 just to check this game out for a month, trust me. You have to pay $10 a month to play, but they put this to good use providing patches every month to deal with player-reported bugs and problems. In reference to "Former UO Player"'s complaint that it is too easy to macro and have a grandmaster character in a week, Origin just provided a new patch that completely eliminates the effectiveness of macroing (trust me, I have tested it! ;-), among other things. All $$ is well-spent $$ with UO.
