Ultima used to be Number 1,

I remeber playing with My Nes, Choosing the cards to get my caracter and Ultima Games where surprisingly detailed for there time.

Then Came Ultima Online and my cousin asked me to buy it so I could join him an his buddies for a powerful guild. First Day I play along comes a Pk and kills me for 2H30 of choping wood just so I can make shields and get a new shirt and hat. They we buy a house (no where to place it of course), I am fighting a orc mage and wham other players get my kill.


Best moment: we where in a guild war and I put on a healer's robe and no one is attacking me, the other guild had tonnes of stuff on their dead I just looted it away in the name of my guid and placed in the bank, I did this three times on the same war. Our team lost the war but I stole most of theire fallen's loot!!!!

It was SO buggy, that they had to remake/reburn the 1st CD and send it to everyone that registered. (This was also the mistake that caused Origin and Lord British to be fired).

If you got it REAL cheap, then it may be worth it.. (5 bucks?)

That buggy? Surely they patched it, Z? Wow. How long has it been out?

Enjoy it Charlie. If it runs ok, that is!

It is a pretty good game. Bland story, very resource intensive for your computer. I think the interface is kind of cool. I had a shit load of bugs too.

Man, Did I ever laugh!!! Watched it three or four times... It's funny because I't true but It was a bit short. Ultima Online and everquest have alot more problems then those depicted in that video. Heck I am starting to think the video is right, I should dust off the old nessy and Play a little Rescue Ranger PvP! LOL

Yeah, they patched it, and it IS better (the gaming world is amazing looking) but graphics IMO don't make the game. the actual gameplay is real weak.. I spent 67.00 on the 'Special Ed' and was very mad it didn't work with my Geforce!

Also, it was SO bad, Origins forums were nearly 99% flames about how bad and buggy the game was, that they CLOSED the forum!! that just added to the shitstorm.. See ya Origin!

are you talking about that 3d expantion of Ultima online (the new dawn I bellieve?), I liked the 2d 3/4 view (like baldurs's gate) in Ultima, But It need more quest, Make a a solution for houses ( abolish them or make a houses on a seperate server only accesible by a portal or rune), Make changes to the combat system and criminal codes. I frankly got bored paying for a game that gave me the thrill of choping wood for three hours.
