The KGB Oracle Forums General Public Discussion (PUBLIC) The Pub New Ultima mmo!

I earned every bit of it..

I was talking in a backroom with Jordan over at Smith & Tinker a couple of weeks ago and since there Mech Warrior project went away this is one of the projects they are looking to get involved in. Just chatter for now, but always a good sign when other industry pro's are considering putting money and talent up.

Well, UO in many ways, was the best.game.evah. Dated now, sure, and Origin screwed it up beyond all recognition, but that was after they forced Garriot out of his own company. Given that, I would be willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, and support whatever he comes up with. If it fails, it fails, but it might be great.

It certainly will not be the game we grew up with.

The days of full loot, anything goes, non-opt-in PvP are long gone. It limits their market potential too much to concentrate on the wee little group that loves that stuff :D

Well, we can always hope that if Ultima returns, Siege Perilous will return as well.

Minus ROT, because ROT was spawn of satan.

I've heard a lot about Ultima from you guys. I never got to play it, but it sounds like the kind of hardcore game that I would really enjoy a lot.
