It's a shame that we aren't getting a true classic shard like wow did with their classic. Champagne tastes on a beer budget i guess.
"Welcome to the oldest part of the metaverse Ultima Online"
Well it's true WoW has been around for a bit. An even older game is Everquest, which is almost as old as Ultima online, already at 24 years. It gets constant updates in both content and bug fixes and has a rather large and healthy player base. Will it out live UO it's hard to say as the life of Ultima has yet to be determined.It would be nice if Ultima began having more regular updates which resulted in new and exciting content. It not only acts as a draw to new players but a reason for long standing players to stay. i love Ultima just wish they would up the support game and stop dangling new legacy as if it is some magic pill.
