I'm thinking if they really make it look nice , fix alot of bug/exploits and market the game right they have a shot to go in areas UO has never seen. Alot of people seem to think its going to be a great start of a new UO , can look over on http://boards.stratics.com/php-bin/uo/postlist.php?Cat=&Board=uouhall&page=&view=&sb=5&o=

are those screenshots the new graphics they're talking about?
could we please get correspondent writers and moderators, on the eve forum at mmorpg.com, who are well-versed on eve-online and aren't just passersby pushing buttons? pretty please?
I am rooting for UO to come back on to the mmorpg schene with this upgrade. However, graphics don't make a game, and from what I've heard since I left it, the game has changed. I can't say whether it has changed for the best or not, but with this upgrade, I am interested in seeing UO again. It's a smart move and maybe in the future other changes will follow, maybe even classic server with the new graphics . . .
Then you'll definitely be seeing me back in the game that started it all for me. That would really be something.
btw, many whine about classic servers - what is so different nowadays, aside from content?

Do I ever sleep?
Will be looking forward to a "new" uo in grafics and in game changes...
Hopefully they can launch a new server were everyone has to start from nothing..
Its kinda useless to start a new account now.. if u wanna buy anything u have to have millions sadly:-(
GO UO!
Hardly any quests and PvE is out of whack.
Crafting in a coma and PvP has no reward and harldly incentives and sort of out of whack like PvE.
Still the best sandbox around, but nothing you can entertain the masses with this system.
Before you had all people thrown in a game where free pvp was allowed.
You had lots of communites from crafting to pvp to pvp all thrown together.
The pvp and pve community got seperated, which was necessary but done diletantly by ea.
Thing is before no one was safe and only the paranoid survived - interesting play, harsh, violent, but not player friendly.
Nowadays you can chose when to pick fights and losses are not so harsh anymore.
I prefer the Trammel version, than the hardcore pvp version, though EA unecessarily dumbed trammel down too much
WORD!

Bring back the OLD UO so I can play again
with the new release of a NEW 3d client... the current game... stays the same... the NEW UO should be just that... NEW... after 9 years the game is filled with "fluff" and there is just CRAP int he game that no one uses etc... dungeons are messed up etc...
My friends and I had to use boats in lvl 4 covetous to kill dragons... they spawn on the land... fly to water and you have to go kill them to get them to come back.... this was back when 1 or 2 EVs would kill a dragon... make lots of money... eventually Origin killed that... it would take 10-20 EVs to kill but I kept playing... it then took 50 EVs so we just killed with FS and Ebolt... it kept getting worse and worse... and we would kill ALL the reds that came down there and had HUGE PvP battles in the middle of the dragon room of covetous all hours of the night... those were the days...
Hopefully new 3rd gen client(2nd gen 3D is WORTHLESS) is a NEW game... All new characters etc

I agree starting afresh would be best. Sadly this does not seem to be the plan.
I copied the text below from their website
EA Mythic, formerly Mythic Entertainment, and the Ultima Online team are working together to bring about one of the most ambitious upgrades of any operating MMORPG. Created in such a way that current players who choose not to upgrade will be able to play without interruption, Ultima Online: Kingdom Reborn will ship in 2007 for PC.
I was keen about this now..... not so sure
I used to visit this site a lot however in recent years it has become the home of negative forum posts, illogical opinions and tantrums so I visit less often.
Played or Beta'd: UO / DAOC / Horizons / EQ2 / DDO / EVE / Archlord / PirateKingsOnline / Tabula Rasa / LOTRO / AOC / Champions / Darkfall / Mortal Online / DCUO / Rift / STO / SWTOR / TSW

It's the same damn isometric, buggy-ass engine with a new slop of paint on it. EA is not going to put more work into UO than they have to. They had full 3D with UO2 and scrapped it while all the members were looking forward to it. Anyone who tries to say the new graphics are an improvement in anything other than smoother textures, they are blind or schills. Kingdom Reborn is more like Kingdom Collapsing
All hail, Richard Garriott. He's the only one who could fix UO. And when the fanbois, who claim this graphic "overhaul" is going to be 3D and bring subscribers back, find out that EA has once again dropped a turd in their lap without so much as a ribbon attached, let's see how many stick it out. EA has done the same "upgrade" 3 or 4 times already. It's all they are ever going to do. Maybe when this bombs, they'll finally kill it off. They have a tendancy to do that also when they don't make enough money off a product.
Goddamn I miss classic UO!
Uo has let down customers for a long time they would have to do something amazing to get people back they allow too many hacks and cheats and most people don't want to even deal with it anymore I still stay only because I have been a guildmaster for a long time and I only stay because of my guild otherwise I'd be gone, I doubt they will do much more than throw a new coat of paint on the much needed sloppy paint job they have already created. Their GM's all need to be fired and they should let people run wild why spend money on worthless gm's! Thats my two cents EA stick it where the sun don't shine.
