Miss the old days of Ultima Online?

Well dont miss em and start reliving them. A couple good coders have come together and built a shard with a RUNUO core. The shard is called Abyss Reborn. This is a Pre Renaissance patch Ultima Online Shard. The coders for this shard are very active, and work to improve the shard in every aspect.

I urge you, if you miss Ultima Online, check out www.abyssreborn.com. And try the shard out. There are about 250+ on peaks at the moment.

Have fun

    Geez, why do these guys bother setting up new and new pre-UO:R shards when there is already plenty of them?

    ... Only like the biggest feature of the game, PVP. They divided the world into two factions; one were you could PVP anywhere and the other where you were safe from any harm from another player. Youll often see people complaining about UO and this is why. Over time they have REALLY crapped this game up which is such a shame because its the best MMORPG I have played, but I havent played it in over four years I think. Unfortunatly, my UO discs are at home, and im at college right now so home isnt accessible ::::35::.

    Hey BigPeeper... Where have you been? LOL Ipy shut down about 2 weeks ago. In Por Ylem was a very popular server but eventually died off to lack of coders. Most of the In Por Ylem playerbase has moved to Abyss Reborn. There are dedicated coders so it wont shut down anytime soon.

    The reason this is the big enchilada is because its true to its pre UOR rulesets. GMs dont have a powertrip, sell items, or even give out items. There are no neons on the shard because thats really just lame.

    Just check it out, because I'm sure youll be disappointed now that you know IPY is down heh.

    lack of coders... no more like the unability for the admins and 95% of the playerbase to not be childish babies.


    Free shards suck anyways, UO just cant live anymore its dead, and thats a sad thing...

    The bigest complaint ive seen to date wasnt the fact that UO doesnt have pvp its the fact that the game stopped having unlimited pvp that seems to bother some. From what i understand back in the day you could kill whoever you wanted with very little penalty which lead to wide spread new player ganking. its really hard to attract new players to a genere when pretty much someone who's been playing for months can rob you in town or wait for you too exit town too xp a little and kill you on site. correct me if im wrong but UO's answer too this was to split each shard into two one where you can play without pvp and one where pvp was unlimited again they even gave you factions and i think the possiblity of sieges and player controlled towns. the pvp shard side became pretty much dead only filled with those who wanted to pvp at that time, gangs basically that would patrol dungeons areas etc. but i have a question,why did they do this?  do you think they did this because that after a while alot of pvpers just got bored? or perhaps unlimted pvp doesnt work? the new popularity of games like everquest?

     

    you can pvp too your hearts content in UO. the only thing they seemed too do was make it a little more fair. which might lead someone to believe that some pvpers arent too happy unless they can gank or own or pwn people that know the game a little less then they do.. which really is sad.

    Ok thanks for your info, but this isnt for people who dont want to pvp so I dont see how that is relevant to this thread.

    lol, i'm tired of these pre UO:R shards. If I will play UO again, I'll play at the official server where the latest is at.

    I just bought expansion 6 but will not play UO :p no time. Just bought it as a collection, been playing Ultima since Ultima 1 (and pre Ultima entitled Akalabeth).
