Is Ultima Online dying?

I have noticed a lack of players lately... perhaps this game has finally reached its end image?

Ultima Online- Apoc
Final Fantasy XI Online- Nabara
World of Warcraft- (Coming soon :P)

    For me, it is dead. It's not what it used to be and it never will be the same again. Where are you looking for players at anyway? On Napa the classic dungeons ( Despise, Shame, Deceit etc. ) are all empty. In fact all the dungeons are pretty empty. T2A is empty. Ilshenar is empty. You might find a party killing stuff in Doom from time to time but that's it. Our guild, OOJ, seemed to be the only people that ever did champion spawns. Yet I heard from somewhere that UO now has more accounts now than it did back in the day? What do people do in this game, just camp in Doom trying to get artifacts and buy/sell houses for lots of money?

    Gargantroo what shard do you play on? That's interesting. Maybe they made too much land and now everyone is too far apart..... or something..... lol

    I'm not that surprised at FF11, I would assume they brought in a lot of people who were fans of the console Final Fantasy series.

    Seeing poor old Shadowbane and AC2 on there, so far at the bottom, makes me so sad. They could have been so much more. It's depressing.

    I wish UO would die so that EA would give up on making MMORPGs. They should stick to sports games, they suck at everything else. They ruined our UO and for that they must pay. Somehow, I have faith that Garriott will give all of us who are having old school UO withdrawal a place to call home with Tabula Rasa. WoW and EQ2 should keep the annoying people out of it.

    Wow.imageWow. You have expressed something I have kept in me for a long time. Don't you wish that would happen? I WISH IT WOULD! Even though I hate the current UO because all the people and what they have done to it, I still support it because it's the only game I've ever come to know. The only game I've ever come to love. But since it's downfall I have no other game to support. So I must choose a game. I must also pick my battles.

    I play Atlantic. It used to be one of the biggest shards (it was always competing GL for 2nd most populated shard). The dungeons are empty. Doom is empty (the gauntlet is not) all the banks are empty except Britain bank. And is 225,000 accounts how many its got? Thank god, I would hate to see this game die. Its the oldest and greatest MMORPG. Just enhance 3d mode so that people dont get angry about the graphics. Thats my bet.

    I played GL. If GL was second biggest, what was the biggest? My brother played Atlantic. (We only had 1 account)

    I forgot to mention that EA killed Ultima Worlds Online: Origin as well. I was looking forward to that game for so long. They cancelled it for what?? So they could have all the people who were looking forward to it buy UO: Third Dawn instead, hoping it would be good enough, while in reality it was a piece of garbage. Around the time it was cancelled I saw one guy on a forum, his signature was a pic he made, a collage of UWO:O screenshots and over them it said this:

    We create worlds

    Money destroys them

    image I thought that was so beautiful. But then, I was only like 13 at the time. I had to get that out. image

    LOL. I want to see that collage really bad. I would look at it all night and cry cry cry.image

    I'll tell you one thing, UO may not be dead, but the Ultima Online forum on mmorpg.com is really dead. I see the same threads in the same spots forever.

    I've played free shards before. They're not as fun as the real thing. Where we had our old guildmates, our old friends, we had our old characters and our old houses. I like the original UO the best. The one we can never have back. image

    As angry as I am at EA for changing UO immensely, I still don't want to see this game die. I don't want to see the free shards take over it either. Even though you can save a lot of money and it can be a lot more fun, I think it's wrong. I used to play free shards. Isn't it illegal anyway?

    I wonder why EA isn't doing anything about it. Why haven't they done anything about it!?

    Hi I play in the Atlantic shard, anyone there? if you see Diegolink say hi image.

    By the way, i had a char named JaSoN-X but deleted accidentaly image.

    Is UO dying? i dont know.....Atlantic is receiving many newbies.....so, its less rolepley <yeah, few people roleplay in Atlantic> every month Atlantic is growing. I dont know ´bout the other shards image

  • gargantroogargantroo Member Posts: 1,477

    Atlantic= best roleplay. Come to Hanse's Hostel (the central inn in Malas) and your bound to find roleplayers. Especially on a Saturday night.

    Europa is very much alive, usually people at most popular hunting areas at prime time, Brit bank is packed most of the time and the other banks are also populated often.

     

    I wouldn't want more people there, it's perfect now, if not too many already.

    Get EA to actually care about its other games mmos or get ea to give to someone else givin to another company ea will likely never do that,  as said ea doesnt care aobut its mmos EnB was killed Sims online doesnt deserve any recognigtion. Ultima is great game only reason they havnt pulled plug as ya know its been around long time and not updating it really obviuosly they only have to keep server cost devs paying somewhat and such easy mula for them lol.

    Great to know one of these games is still alive

    People play this game to get shiny pixels to sell on ebay. It is an ebay paradise. Its days are numbered (thank god) and I am just waiting for WoW so that I can play somethng else.

  • Sir-SvenSir-Sven Member Posts: 773

    In reality, this game used to be the biggest and best MMORPG in the world. Now it has more people but isn't the largest anymore. I would agree that people are being very greedy and some people only make money in UO to make money in real life. It is a sad state of affairs.
