LBR doesn't deliver

This feels like the 3D client with a gloss of 2D graphics. I have many of the problems with LBR that I have with the 3D client, including added lag. The "new" graphics for some monsters are very poor and jar with the old graphic style--the new monsters (recycled from the 3D client) appear small and thin next to their 2D counterparts. The sounds for many monsters (including the lich and dragon) and spell sound effects have been changed to those from the 3D client, an unnecessary change in the first place and one which means players have to re-memorize sounds that have been perfectly fine for years. The new sounds are largely very poor, too, and in some cases seem to have been applied randomly to various effects and monsters without deciding if they actually fit (i.e. the corpser, a plant-like monster, now growls instead of rustles). I was very disappointed with this expansion just for the above reasons, but add to that that none of the promised new ridable creatures and craftables are in the game yet and I was doubly disappointed. Ilshenar is a new area to explore in 2D (previously only available through the 3D client), but it's a very small land. There is no new housing space.

The comic and action figure included with the game do not fit with the feel of UO.

Ultima Online

Ultima Online gives you what no other MMORPG can; community. EQ and DAoC try with the latter coming closer than any others. It's all leveling. In UO, you can go hang out with you friends and gain skill and have a good time without worrying about levels. Ultima Online is skill based rather than level based. Sure, you don't have a huge choice of races other than human, well, none infact. But, part of the fun is choosing a race and roleplaying this. You're given so many items you can use to portray yourself as a race (orc masks, tribal masks and savage paints). Yea, OSI is about to screw everyone over with Publish 16 that may ruin UO all together but, what can you do?

Three words, best game ever. I have been playing for about 6 months maybe 7 and its still fun, I think pvp is the best aspect but some of you people might not agree (trammies) After pvming for a while, it always gets old so try something new and try to kill someone ;) I highly reccomend this game although its addictive.

How can anyone say they ruined Ultima when this product hits big is beyond me. It's a great game, with a great social structure build right in. UO is what the player makes it, and the new Scenarios and ongoing in game fiction make the players more willing participants in the goings on of Sosaria.

Much better then the new EverQuest, by far.

Redeemed after the Third Dawn Fiasco

Ultima Online is unique to any other MMRPG out there. I have tried most of them, and they all pale in comparison. EQ and DAOC are copy cats of each other..where the object is to mindlessly level on the same monster renamed with people at your level. Forget playing with your friends if you aren't the same level. Ultima Online allows you to be totally diverse. If you want to be a cook..or a fisherman..or a tailor..or a armsman..you are. Unlike DAOC and EQ where you buy your materials for crafting off an npc..you can go out and gather your own materials and create items at no cost but time. You can also own a home, and run a store. No other game offers this kind of playstyle. You can go out hunting with someone who started yesterday. That said..they released Third Dawn with a lot of problems, not to mention its looks aren't very appealing..Warily I purchased LBR. I am very pleased. I'm so glad to be able to use the client I prefer (2D) to go to the new lands. I have not yet seen any downfall to LBR..it's running smoothly on my system..and furthermore..I was even able to run the 3D on it fine. If you are new to on-line gaming..give Brittania a try...

Im sorry but UO is a dead game.LBR shows it is.UO is like stuck in the very old role-playing games. The graphics are awful and the monsters are have BAD AL.This game is fun for about 3 months. Allso there are skill caps so if you go over you cant gain skills or exp anymore.

Where Is The New Stuff?

I couldn't wait for it--and now I am still waiting. I have been playinig UO since the beginning. I love UO. However, I shelled out my bucks, and after exploring for a whole night I found
absolutely nothing new.
I've already been playing with the 3D client. The music is
partly recycled from Ultima Ascension (that's fine with me, I
love that soundtrack). I've been to Ilshenar many times.
And will there be anything for players that don't play in packs
because they only can play a few hours a week?

Well I have played over 3 years now. If you are first starting out dont expect to find a house with out paying tons of cash. yea I mean cash.. A normal house on ebay goes for 50.00 buck. A large house is way to high. I have seen large towers, castle go for over 1000.00 dollars..that real cash. Orgin is in process of make some radical change to the skills now. Most of the people are about to quit the game. They introduce LBR but dint tell everyone how they were going to kill some of the best skills. On top of that they say they are going to make new monster...never happen so far this is the biggest let down for online games.

Big disappointment DONT BUY IT!!

THERE IS A... MONTHLY FEE

This is a piece of [garbage]!! First off, your character moves like a bucket of concrete. The control is sluggish in 3D and 2D modes and don't even think about getting through your first challenge-getting out of the first 2 cubic inches of the... screen. THE MONTHLY FEE IS A DIRTY TRICK. The box has in small font: cannot be played offline, monthly fee subject to raising... OH YA I only gave this a 1 star becuse there is no 0 stars...
