Yeah, but not the one with Elves. That's been out for years. “Actually, didn’t an expansion just come out this month?”

I remember that you could buy a castle for a fortune n then people would take these piles of ore rocks that you'd get after melting ore to iron bars and use it for building anything imaginable! i spent looking at ultima online pictures for the last 10 minutes n it's like looking at an old bike i had as a kid! it was just SO exciting always! I tried many MMO's and nothing was ever like Ultima! Still makes me sad everyone forgot about it as soon as WoW came out! I think only people who played as intense as i did can understand just how great it was ! http://www.uodivinity.com/img/intro/intro_ss_3.jpg just look at that oldschool loot chest and all the people running around, evryone saying something all in different colors. it's just EVERYTHING! the runing animation, the Tap tap tap sound when someone passed by, all the monsters :( god when will time travel be possible :( Yea Railick making houses was like one of the most expensive things in the game.

I LOVED Ultima Online! No other MMORPG ever appealed to me again after my years of playing ultima online. it really was something special but i think if id played it again it'd spoil good good memories! I mean it just had everything! I remember when there were no particular items in the game for example for a chimney people would take clothes and stones and put them on top of each other and it looked exactly like a chimney. It really felt like people were creating a world! i think ultima back then was far more advanced than the new mmorpgs (including world of warcraft, seriously after ultima online warcraft just couldn'T offer anything new or exciting!)

Some date back to the release of the game too. I can't remember, but if there was a purge, maybe they offered a chance to stop that. If that's the case, I must have logged in to save them. The game lost some of it's appeal when Trammel was introduced. Still, it's a good game. However, I logged in yesterday and was totally lost. I also don't really like the itemization changes; feels too gimmicky. My characters were not purged. Some date back to the release of the game too.
