I have played this game, off & on, for the past 3 years. I've always been interested in fantasy & this is the perfect type of game for me. It's so much fun creating & customizing characters. It's frustrating, at first, because your character doesn't have the skills to do much & you're not strong enough to wear the cool armor or you don't have the gold to buy the cool clothes. The process of builing up skills is pretty tedious & boring but once you're there, the world opens up.
I have mostly played on free shards where things are a little more customizable. I have enjoyed building my own houses, collecting pets, & embarking on many quests. You can meet people from all over the world. This game can be soo much fun & soo incredibly frustrating, at times. I haven't played it for a while & I miss it but, right now, I really don't want to start from scratch, AGAIN.

NOT WHAT I EXPECTED

NOT ENOUGH INFO? DID NOT SAY ONLINE GAME PLAY ONLY. IF I HAD KNOWN THAT I WOULD NOT HAVE BOUGHT THE ITEM. IT WAS VERY FAST DELIVERY.

Great!

That was the first MMORPG I ever had and it still makes a lot of fun. Not long before, the adventure thing got a little bit lost, but now again more people go out to the unending world of UO, and that makes much more fun again too meet people in dungeons

old game but still going

played uo on and off for years, mostly off. pretty boring for todays standards, and the graphics are bad...but i still have friends that play so i log on a few times a year, usually during the free periods uo has. this was really cheap when i got it, so i didn't mind upgrading my account, even if its rarely used.

Ultima Online

Ultima Online used to be the best of the best, with great game mechanics and adventures that you will remember for years to come. However the game has gotten a total overhaul since the good days. They now have complex magical items and artifacts. Resists are no longer simple either, there are a large variety of them and some skills are now just plain pointless.

UO used to be the best, now its on the verge of extinction (despite its steady, loyal fanbase). Another big problem with this product is the misleading label. It says that this is a DVD, when, in fact, it is a CD. I almost returned the item because of this, but figured it wouldn't matter. After returning to UO for the third time in its nearly ten year reign, I am done with the game.

On a side note, I would love to see a revamped UO. It would be great if they brought all the old UO mechanics (pre-Trammel or pre-Mondain's Legacy) to a new, 3D game. Perhaps UO2? That would be wonderful.

Excellent

I left Ultima online when UO 3D was starting and didnt like it. I since have returned and love all the changes they have done to it. After a 5 year avsence it has been hard learning things over again but I have fallen back in love with the game.

Works well on wine in Linux

This game is a very good mmorpg and one of the first. The 3d client has been patched out in anticipation of UO: Kingdom Reborn. The 2d client works great on Linux using default wine settings. There are now a huge number of quests in game and also with New Haven that came out recently its easier to raise your skills when you begin. Overall it's very fun to play and there is still a big community behind it.

WARNING - 3D No Longer Supported! BAD CS!

This game used to be my absolute favorite game in the world. Now, it is useless. 100%, completely, utterly, useless.

The developers took away the 3D client in anticipation of a new 3D client that was supposed to be released "Spring, 2007", but it is May and so far it has not been released, nor has any definite release date been set. This means that folks who enjoyed the 2D client can still play, but people who only liked the 3D client cannot. The 2D client may have it's "charm" for some players, but to me, it's difficult, nay, impossible, to use.

Do those who don't know, if you get used to to 3D client for years, it is EXTREMELY awkward and clumsy to move to the 2D client later. Containers cannot be resized, meaning you can no longer find anything in them without spending HOURS (literally) moving items around in them. The size of the play screen can't be changed, meaning that on large monitors you have to struggle to see anything.

The developers have removed EXTREME functionality in the game in anticipation of a new release that is not immediately forthcoming. I will NEVER trust EA for an online game again. Removing functionality from paying customers without a suitable alternative is unacceptable!

I recommend staying far, far away from this. And I will personally never buy another online game from Electronic Arts as long as I live.

*NOTE* This is NOT a DVD

This product is actually 3 CD's and not a DVD as advertised above. *grumble*

Other than that, buy it! It's fun! Corp Por!

Sorry, I just do NOT understand the game. There are no online directions for me to obtain.

I am having difficulty understanding this game. There are no Online directions for this game. Often, when playing with the online characters, I have difficulty with learning character activities, such as how to fish, and other tasks for the game. I also have difficulty navigating around to the different cities. The small map, provided lacks readability, and cannot be seen very well, either. There are too many difficulties to explain. I am NOT enjoying this game, very much. I am STILL paying $ 12.95 per month for it, in hopes, that it MAY be improved, soon. Yet, if it isn't, I may be canceling the Online fees, and putting the game on a shelf, forever.
