Its 2 weaks as i play uo now, and i am pure newby.
I played on europa, and really remember that guy, he helped me alot aswel, respect for him. I newer sow that in ather mmos, where someone would help out newbies like that!
Now i moved to atlantic ( even if i play from eu). and atlantic is stuffed! In busy time, you can see loads and loads of poeple around! New heaven, britain, luna etc, i am not even saying about athers who exploring dungoens, or just doing theyr stuff
.
I am ex WoW player, and i am very happy with uo ( thought i knew about from before, but newer tryed).
I see more and more poeple coming back to game, and very happy about it. And coolest thing is - RP is moust active, comparing to ather mmos!
P.s. collecting cash now for my first House
! ( The thing , that WoW can only dream about! ) But i have problems with placement, i think every spot in atlantic is already taken 
. thought i found same free space north/west of luna 
.
Aye thats the problem with Atlantic its jam packed with ppl and its difficult to find a good place for a house.
Europa is famous for its Roleplay guilds.

It would be worth it for a time passer. Atleast until / if they release Darkfall.
I have recently returned to Ultima, and i couldn't be happier, The community has only gotten better over time with much more than a few very helpful people stepping up to help people that are either just starting to play the game or returning vets alike.
I found it quite easy to learn the new UI system and find it better than i'd expected, with its ease of use. Also i havent seen anyone comment yet on the great graphical upgrades, not only does it look alot better the new look of the dungeons and monsters make for an almost entirely new play experience. There has also been some recent tweaks to some of the monster AI as well as tuning to some of thier stats.
Around the new player areas i see lots of "young" players starting to forge thier way in the vast lands of Sosaria, seeking fame, fortune, or maybe both in a world as rich and deep as it is fun and rewarding.
All in all i'd say its more than worth a try for anyone thinking of a comeback or new players looking for a game that has both the best and oldest (and most ) content, as well as a good community that will be there to back you when needed. "hope tosee ya on Pacific shard!"
Do you work for EA? If not you should, because you actualy made a game that isn't worth playing sound good. Maybe you could even run for president?
Depends why you left one year ago?
My guess is whatever it was it has not changed yet.
With luck they may make the game better in a year or two.
At the moment hardly anything happens in game and as far as I can see it they still lose players. (My opinion based on the europa shard)
If EA decides to add new regular content and events then it sure one of the best games out there.
As long as it is in milk modus (pay EA money for a pretty house without any real content a la SIMS) I would say stay away for now.
The only way to breathe life back into that game would be to get rid of Trammel.

UO was my frist mmo and loved it quit like 3 years ago but i think i might resub today been really bored with the mmo's of today
Still the best game out there!
Playing: League of Legends!
hah, True! But that doesn't say much since all other MMO's these companies have been spitting out have been pretty much crap.
I wish someone would make a UO2 already.....I am still waiting for a game I enjoyed as much as UO.
Darkfall is coming.
Darkfall is coming.
What make Darkfall so good ,it looks silly ,if it ever even comes out..
Darkfall is coming.
Darkfall is going to have the same Sandbox feeling, and PvP rules that UO (Pre:R) had. Which means, open PvP, no trammel, full corpse looting, persistent world, etc.What make Darkfall so good ,it looks silly ,if it ever even comes out..
And whomever suggested that getting rid of Trammel would be the way to save the game. That would only be a good start. The game has been trashed so hard, that it's almost not worth saving. They'd need to revert back to the old weapon system, and go back to the basic 64 spells, with only 2 ways of healing (3 if you count Alchemy).
However, in restrospec, this game was not any less of a grind game than any current game in existence. The difference between UO and a different grindgame, is the "risk" factor. In UO, you could lose it all if you couldn't PvP, or if you got ganked, which made finding a location important, and in current games.. you experience the same grind, with no risk of losing what you just spent a while trying to accomplish.
Darkfall is coming.
Darkfall has been coming for 6+ years now. They release news in the developer journal, but it's sad that we have no clue when it will ever get to beta. They hinted at it tentatively for last summer, and missed it bad. Then the darkfall community waited until last christmas. Nothing. Great concept game, but it's possible that someone could start working on UO2 and have it done before darkfall ever hits release.
At the moment it looks like EA will let the Ultima brandname die and rather concentrate on Warhammer Online.
As for Darkfall, it still will be interesting how they will manage risk versus reward for the gamers.
If they concentrate on the rabid pvp community alone they will end up like shaodowbane.
For a working world like UO showed us you need different playstyles together and make the magic now work that all playstyles can have fun.
That is where UO ultimately failed and because they refused to add new content/storylines to a game that does not live from quests.
Darkfall is coming.
I wish someone would make Darkfall 2 already.... I am still waiting for a game I enjoyed reading about as much as Darkfall.
