Hehe, thats not online. It's Ultima X. As in the tenth one that isn't online. Sorry. Ultima will never rise again.
I beg to differ. " Origin Systems, an Electronic Arts (NASDAQ: ERTS) development studio, today announced the development of Ultima X: Odyssey (UXO), a next generation massively multi-player online role-playing game (MMORPG) from the award-winning Origin studio team. Powered by the latest version of the Unreal® Engine and based on the renowned Ultima single-player role-playing series, UXO will enable players to create personalized legacies in a massive new online world and will be one of the first of its kind to offer private areas on demand within the game.

Clearly stated there it is a MMRPG so it is online.
Based on unreal engine and it shows.They could have made their own because the character does look exactly like unreal characters.
Half the movie is not actual gameplay if you notice .So use the screenshots to compare and you will see which ones.
They relly should have let UO2 go thru because in 2001 another UO would be big news in 2004 when this one comes out it has to stand in line with dragons empire,EQ2,horizons and WoW and honestly i would pick any of those 4 over it .
Better graphics in any of those 4 for one.
Lets see what ideas they have for it though.

I'm sitting in San Fran now and just got finished with the UXO event. This game is truely incredible...that is all I will say for now
We will have a page up shortly with highlights...
And it is most definately a MMORPG, however, it is not a sequel to UO in any way...

That is why they made it very clear right away that this product was in no way competing with their massively successful Ultima Online. UXO is game designed to bring a fresh new crowd - not convert the existing UO people.
UXO is not UO2 - it is Ultima 10 - the sequel to Ultima 9 and just happens to be a MMORPG. Much like the decision to bring Final Fantasy to a MMO level - it was a single player game up to that point.

Well, not head to head lets say. I think UXO will not completely satisfy the person who loves UO right now - they are so different. UXO is much more "arcade" style and simplified to attract a broader audience.
I think something else they are planning is a package deal to get your UO and UXO subscriptions in one cheaper rate...this would entice people to play both.

Hmmm.... that sounds like a good idea.

I don't know Heden..but it certainly is annoying...the one thing i cannot stand is uninformed reasoning that takes place on the board..there are tons of reports online about this game right now that completely refute much of what is being complained about.
Anyways, from what I have read, this game looks amazing. I really like the character pages that they have up, IMO they look great. THis game also has a great fantastsical feel to it from what I see in the graphics.
Still searching for more info on the whole PvP aspect...I got stuck staring at beautiful pictures for too long..

"I can probably answer most of your questions about PvP.... "
Lemme guess, there is none? Why do I guess that? Because it seems that every new MMRPG is makeing it less and less of a challenge, and less and less of a danger. No penalty to death, no risk, and that they can just 24/7 slaughter endless hoards of orcs, and get ph4t l3wt.

There is PvP in UXO - it is voluntary only. Much like EQ on non PvP servers. I asked the devs about PvP servers and they said they were something they definately wanted to do - but were not sure if they initial release would contain PvP servers.
The currently planned PvP system will also allow guild wars in a private zone. They did not mention if there was a player limit, but it sounded like it would be pretty massive.
All PvP will also have the option of "wagering". So you could fight someone for their weapon, or 1000 gold, or whatever. Kinda cool

Greg Dean over at Real Life also got in on this UXO event. He already has a "rant" about his experience and what he found out... he can be found here.
If you're too lazy to read it all, here are some highlights:
"...he creates a world to train people in the virtues so that they can come aid him in his battle. That world is Alucinor (not Brittania, or Sosaria, or anything like them). You and thousands of others are the inhabitants of this world..."
"UX:O, rather than being a world to simply exist in, is more along the lines of a massively multiplayer Diablo. No, wait...come back. Hear me out. The focus of the game isn't so much skill building and MUSHing, but combat, and questing, and all sorts of other heroic duties. There are no bunnies to bash, or deer to wail on, because that's not heroic. This game is all about making the player feel like a badass."
"The nice thing about the use of the Unreal Warfare setup they have going is that they can actually create and drop modules onto the server withou having to shut it down. Forget huge patches..."
"In UX:O, the quests come to you. You might be out in the forest, and a farmer will run up and ask for help, because his homestead is being raided by bandits."
"See, when one of your characters reaches the top level of a particular virtue, he has the option to "ascend". By doing so, you gain another character... a disciple of the first."
"Unlike previous online RPG's, UX:O uses a real-time combat system."
"If you and your friends are doing a quest as a party, and certain things are necessary for it to have in order to be completed, the server will make a private copy of the map that only you and your party exist in for the duration of that part of the quest."
There ya go

Ooops..sorry never got back...your post after the naysayer below me acutally cleared a lot of it up...that and I read a few more reviews and feelpertty solid on my information.
I would love it though if you would clarify a bit on the guild aspect of the game...someone else was saying to me that they were mad there were no guilds- but I cleearly read in the reviews that there where...so can you elaborate a bit?
