I succumbed to this recently as well I had been looking for a while off and on but finally tracked down my UO account name and password I had scribbled down somewhere. I had to link it to an EA account; when I finally logged in, it took me about 5 minutes to realize there is no return to the glory days of UO. I had characters on Chesapeake, Atlantic and Baja. Nothing going on anywhere. I know many people hung out at Brit bank but for whatever reason, Vesper bank was my hangout of choice..
I think I liked the music a lot for that city. I thought about trying to track down my old tower although I am sure it has long since rotted away. I remember having to build a courtyard with tents around the door and just recall inside as it was the only defense at the time from all the numerous hacks and tricks to break into houses. Maybe if you could connect up with a community of players that are active it might be some fun. Mustawd Arcane. Joined: Jan 10, Messages: 12, This is sad.
I loved UO. It was my first MMO. I remember staring at the Ultima Online Reinnasance box as my dad drove us back home from Walmart back when Walmart sold actual PC games. It was a Friday night when I finally logged in and I think I played almost nonstop the entire weekend. Or that time when I finally got the guts to attack another player, only for him to take out a poisoned sword, corroding my armor, and slowly poisoning me to death.
Then he looted my body of all my stuff. Or the time I ran through a swamp, aggroing every single lizard man in the area, and training them to some poor sap's house with a few if his buddies, and watched them get slaughtered while I watched in the distance while they cursed my existence. RIP UO. I love you bro. No homo. Salute x 3 Agree x 1 Despair x 1. PorkBarrellGuy Guest. I used to play on a few freeshards but they're probably dead and gone by now.
Shazzy's Shard was my favorite, I think. Joined: Oct 5, Messages: 12, Mar 31, Stats Ignoring. Brofist x 1. Apr 13, Stats Ignoring. I received this yesterday:. You can log in for 10 minutes and still feel you've achieved something.
It endures because players have 'ownership' of property, they have houses which they have built and furnished, they 'live' in UO. Player created civilisations, unique monsters, and the sheer mystery of the world combine to keep this ancient MMO compelling. For all the ways in which the genre has improved, Ultima Online remains one of just a few MMOs that let you live an alternative life. That feeling of ownership that Petra Fyde mentions, combined with the diversity on offer, keeps players coming back day after day.
Parts of Britannia feel abandoned, and while there's always life nearby, it still feels lonely. Still, my time in Ultima Online has been, by and large, a positive one. If you've a love of exploring strange fantasy worlds, Britannia is a fine place to visit. One thing about Elden Ring's open world leaves me a bit confused. Death's Door is my kind of Soulslike, and I just can't get enough of it.
This browser game is a post-apocalypse Glasto meets non-violent tech Wicker Man and it's rad as hell. If you click on a link and make a purchase we may receive a small commission. Read our editorial policy. At least the website is still live and there seem to be regular news, so I guess there's still people playing.
Not me, though. I just lurk on this board for some unknown reason. Webcomic about owls - www. User Info: tony Ah, this brings back fond memories of being killed by a housecat. User Info: WoodenRook. Yea, people still play. It's still pretty active on Atlantic Shard. They announced a big change coming where there will be seasons and ongoing stories. There will be a shard specific for it. There aren't many details, but from my reading it's intended to gather the players onto one shard that resets seasonally and then when the season ends you can transfer back to home shards where your houses are and keep some memorial items and things to place in your house.
They still haven't solved dup'ing or scripting. I think it's all but said just because EA still owns the game and may give it to another small studio if Broadsword were openly doing it. The last expansion was Time of Legends back in and it's about savages and Dinosaurs.
There's been a lot of big changes. How long would that last. Don't talk more about this or the thread will close. Tim Posts: March Just one comment The site you source is an add service and I can't find any description of where they get their numbers.
I know EA and the others do not release their numbers so I would be interested where the numbers come from. Pawain Posts: 5, So the daily population right now is the highest it has been in 5 years? Cookie Posts: March 18 edited March Pretty solid numbers actually. Either way, decent figures I think. Thse numbers are no where near the reality. For all the other shards it varies from 20ish to 60ish for some others. Times X that by 25 shards and add atlantic, thats around online players , at any time, maybe at it's very best.
Norry Posts: Now break it into 4 hour blocks, and realise people have multiple accounts. And then, just suggest around 1 extra account per real account i have heard someone had over 70 paid accounts at 1 point, and most players i know have 2 , and your at Aayla Posts: I don't know how about accurate this is because I look under my favourite game of all time - Star Wars Galaxies and it still has daily players this month and the game has been shut down 10 years ago Bilbo Posts: 2, Go count every house on every prodo shard and that will give you the minimum number of accounts UO has and as far as max who knows but one thing is for sure there are enough people paying EA for the right to play UO to keep it open and that is the bottom line.
Bizarro Posts: 4. I wouldn't put much faith into non-official sources for this. The only thing we can really conclude is that the game is profitable enough to keep the lights on and to justify new content. Seth Posts: 1, For a low pop shard its doing very well! If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
JohnKnighthawke Posts: The site is very clear that their numbers are estimates. Here is their exact quote;.
