I just don't understand... Why not use a decent gaming engine and remake UO that is like 25% more player friendly. It blows my mind that anyone is actually excited about this, in fact I find it extremely hard to believe. This game is just not good. …
I don't think it adds any value to a game. It may make players who cheat, exploit, or simply take no chances feel more elite, but in the end no modern game is going to survive under those conditions. For the most part, only legitimate veterans are e…
It will be a huge mistake if they do instanced housing. There are many ways to do this without messing up the game world. You can force styles by zones to keep themes and do housing clusters in each zone. You can also do cheap instanced apartments f…
In my opinion you should do all the quests that give you skill points. I do every quest in every zone for the xp, gold, gear, and skill points. But I know what you mean, it gets boring after a while. After I "beat" the solo questing part of the game…
Ultima Online was amazing back in the early 2000s, other than that WoW easily has the highest quality Halloween event. Everquest II is pretty good, it has haunted houses and the the cities are decorated well.
They made a huge mistake by separating landmark from EQN. They could have changed the genre and been Gods, but they chose to be generic. Nothing they have shown or talked about is impressive. Having a layered world the way they have shown it is goin…
UO did it right. 700 skill points with tons of skills to choose from. You can be a 7 time grand master by maxing whatever 7 skills you choose, or you can have some at 30, some at 70, some at 100 etc.
I absolutely hate leveling. It is pointless. In …
UO 97, but its best years were 98-99 IMO. I loved that game until 2003, and I just couldn't take the bullshit any more.
The feeling of gaining skill points, in the wee hours of the night, of saving for a house... finally getting a house out in the …

No problem? I guess...
I'm not sure Smed's departure will have any impact what so ever. McQuaid left SOE long before hand, and this had no effect on the franchise.
Colonel Sanders died long before that, and yet he is s…
I want EQN to be the GOAT game, but all signs are pointing to it being a 6/10 that holds the intrest of the masses for less than six months. For whatever reason they just make sloppy games. Check out landmark. Its amazing in so many ways, but its ju…
Landmark should be part of EQN. They really dropped the ball on that one. They had a chance to be different and take things to the next level.
I've been right every single time when I say "This game is going to be trash", and the universe is giv…
I don't understand why they won't just do it. It literally cost no money. I can put up a UO server right within 30 minutes. The devs are morons. Watch their videos, it is a bunch of clueless dorks who never, ever played in the early days. They have …
There is only one answer, and it is completely obvious. The game doesn't start until you are max level and caught up to the current content. Everything else before that is pointless and irrelevant.
This is why UO was the greatest game of all ti…
I'll just be happy with someone making an mmo that isn't complete shit.
The players have been calling for Ultima Online redone with an experienced team and top notch graphics... Here we are, 18 fucking years later. Nothing. 18 years, and it is s…
I can't get into single player games at all. I have to be playing with or competing against real players, its what drives me. I want to make my own story and my own mark and I want other real people to know about it and feel it.
For whatever reason I can't bring myself to play single player rpgs anymore. Its like, without competing against and working with other players there is no point.
Game does look cool though
