  • I still have a Computer Gaming World demo disc with interviews of the devs, The behinds the scenes of the music and some gameplay footage. I was soo ready to sign up then it died.

  • Oh my god... I looked forward to this game till they killed it. The share holders killed it because "It will compete with Ultima Online". I was just like... oh wow! No shit it will, it should. They never focused on going after the 3D market till it was too later. Stupid. Did you see the burning video? The developers burned the disks and everything related to UO2. So sad.

  • @MachetePanda The thing is, UO 2 WOULDN'T have competed with the original. The first is all about PVP, the second was going to be more PvE oriented. They were completely different.

  • @NikolaJMurray

    Hey bro, I played on Catskills late 1997 thru 2001.. I remember Death Jesters... I was in a guild called Cookie Chef Clan [CCC]...

    I used to love a good pk dungeon run!

    Do u remember a guy named BabeNukem or Adrock?

  • This shard is GAYYY look up Uo Excelsior, Sunfish2015. The best shard in the world join today

  • Check mortal online out, the best modern sandbox game out there right now. Made by UO players for UO players (heavily inspired by uo)

  • @troubl3somez The best sandbox MMO out there is EvE, end of story. Mortal Is a game with some nice ideas and excruciatingly painfully bad execution. What they released as a finished product shouldn't even qualify for the alpha stage, it was pathetic.

  • I remember when EA put this trailer out. At the time it looked so kewl. Was so disapointed when EA tanked it.

  • Could someone tell me what group this is on the music? Cool sounding song.

  • @museluvr

    It's called Love is Hell by Grim Faeries.

    I still have it on my Ipod. ;)

  • @Anas507 yes there is! secondage com !

  • Funny, they thought this shit would fly.

  • Pretty fluid game play for the year 2000. I heard about this many years ago. Never really knew why i never surfaced.

  • I love this video, cheers!

  • a new UO will come... netdragon, a chinese devolper bought the rights of dungeon keeper and ultima online... dungeon keeper online will be released soon, so uo prolly will come 2012/2013... visit "uo dot 91 dot com" or check the netdragon s second quartel 2011 results if u dont believe me^^

  • ulmaria.webs.com - Free Long running Ultima Online server with custom townhouses, evolution weapons level system and much much more.

  • It doesn't matter what EA does for the rest of it's existence. They will never be forgiven for what they did to UO and for cancelling UO 2. It will NEVER be forgotten EA.

  • @Jester814 And they're still ass-raping the players at every turn. This account migration was a complete shitstorm. I'm afraid for what the next year holds for UO; I've been told it's more likely that Warhammer Online will have the plug pulled first, but who knows...? UO has been below the minimum player base that EA looks for a long time now.

  • This would have been even worse than APB.... Thank the gods this never came out.

  • UO was awesome! Wish they would make a new game based on the concepts of the original UO

  • @hippy4mary There is a game that is actually developed by guys that wanted to bring back a "UO like" game. Its called Darkfall Online. PVP anywhere in game, no safe zones, full loot. Search in Youtube for "what is darkfall online" and watch the first video that pops up. Check it out. There is a 2 week free trial. I've been playing it for about a month now and it is by far the best MMO I have ever played (aside from early UO).

  • @HerdoRalden It was buggy, unfinished and plain boring IMO. Like I said in another comment, the only quality sandbox MMO I've found is EvE Online, the rest are either bad or so buggy they're unplayable.

  • Thank god it never came out..... This mix of High Tech + Cyberpunk + Medievel is really shitty. Old UO style is much better...

  • The song is Love is Hell by Grim Faeries. This game started development when Origin games was alone.. Once EA bought them out, instead of being delayed EA just cancelled it. Let's not forget the tyrant EA's business model. Rush to make. Promote the piss out of it. Offer no support and abandon after you made your rush money. MMOs require ongoing support and updates. EA would never allow something they would have to maintain.

  • @sqitso Dude, EA bought Origin long before even UO came along. Hell EA funded most Origin's biggest hits including Wing Commander, Ultima 6 onwards and UO. I understand you're disappointed and yes EA are responsible for the death of UO2 as a project but EA made the whole thing happen money-wise too.

  • epic fail

  • faaaaaaaaaaaail

  • Comment removed

  • this game wouldve been awesome if it came out, they put a lot of detail into the character moves to make them realistic

  • A world that never was...so sad...

  • I remember thinking this was so ground breaking and amazing.  Shame it never came out.

  • imagine what it could of been.

  • Heh....it finally almost looks as Neverwinter Nights :-P

  • Graphics are only a small portion of a game, the story line character play game play make up the rest. If you only play a game to rush through it online games are a waste of time for you.

  • Whoever said Diablo is a mmo go look up the definition

  • Why ea sucks make shit tease ya then go eh fuck it we arent gonna make it.

  • @C0mm0nS3ns3

    Orgin was planing on making ultima online 2 but then ea took them over and ssaid no we arent making it ... ea sucks

  • ale gówno . Omg

  • I am working a project to recreate the finer elements of the early years of UO. Stay tuned...

  • I am working a project to recreate the finer elements of the early years of UO. Stay tuned...

  • 35 people play WOW. Okay, 8,000,035 people.

  • @dsm2xtreme yes i play wow. so what ? whats the point of your comment ?

  • Until a legitimate successor to UO comes out (I don't count Darkfall or MO), I'll happily keep my pirate guild on IPY 2.0.

  • @thedrunkenpiratesUO still has along way to go but check into dawntide it follows the uo model pretty well

  • I will never ever forgive EA for canning UO2.

    When reading the background and actually realizing how close this game was to be being released (just that the EA management changed and the new management made this decision), this really makes you even more sad.

    Regarding the techno/fantasy mix you should read the lore and then it all makes sense and kind of comes together (not sure if that is still available).

    EA... never ever going forgive and forget this one.

  • look to techno

  • haha a dude doing the mocap for a girl. funny.

  • Damn. I've been looking for this video - lost it in an old computer... What I really want to know is: What band made the music track and where can I get it? :P

  • @theranmafan it tells you at the end of the video

  • This looks way to good to be real.

    Especially for a 2000 game...

  • Catskills was the server and "Death Jesters" were the top PvP guild ! Fuck Drugs ! After a Dungeon sweep i was high as a kite on adrenelin.!

  • Ultima Online and steampunk/metalic theme is not good idea, so in fact I'm kind of glad this game was never finished.

    For me it would ruin that nice fantasy medieval-like feeling good old UO had.

  • I remember playing UO when this game was being made and being SO excited about it. Believe it or not, this was a gorgeous game for its time. Times have changed, though, and WoW's success has made most western developers afraid to risk the resources on a fresh concept. I can't remember the last time I was genuinely excited about a new MMO, and kind of doubt I ever will be again. :(

  • If we wanted a 3D experience we would have been playing Everquest.

  • I was so pumped... waiting for this to come out. And then they ruined UO, instead of releasing this game. Literally destroyed UO. Destroyed my favorite character, destroyed the community... Horrible.

  • The greatest tragedy in MMO history.

  • Google "In Por Ylem" for classic/hardcore pvp UO being remade and improved upon.

  • i am sad that i never got to play UO in its prime =(

  • Ultima was one of the first mmos ever so, of course its one of the best, way ahead of its time, many games toke after there system build ups LONG LIVE EVOLUTION

    Games such as:

    Diablo

    WOW

    Runes of magic

    Runescape

    List goes on.... ---->

  • @CVXC4 Actually before UO there was Kingdom of Drakkar.

  • instead these guys made dark age of camelot

  • All those wanting to play this game again... RunUO released a new freeshard called Revelation. Google UO Revelation, Its bringing back that oldschool feeling. :) Love it there

  • i seriously think if ultima online came out as plan, it wouldve been a WoW killer, ultima online control most of the mmorpg market back in the days.

  • yeah dude its a game from years ago thats not even polished lol...of course it does... uo shits all over any other mmorpg...enjoy your fag WoW with your items staying with yhou when you die and all that gay shit fuck all other games

  • this looks terrible

  • @MrSlayer95 this was supposed to be the follow up for the longest ever continually run mmorpg (and still running)

    the video is nearly a decade old, keep that in mind before you critizise the graphics or lack of details.

  • this is ugly

  • There is Pinal from KIller Instinct!!!

  • Why was this game pulled anyway?

  • @Owntmeal1313 the creator of ultima left Origin. there was other reason but it was never officially announce

  • @Owntmeal1313 because ea sucks and cant keep their word

  • Somebody knows the song?

  • @desenholdb Grim Faeries - Love is Hell

  • Comment removed

  • my older cousin had showed me this video back when I was younger. I was so amazed that I wanted to play Ultima but sadly I never got the chance.

  • when was this set for release?

  • EA have special unique tallent - they buy games and make them bad

  • EA alone is good but with gamespy FUCKIN GARBAGE

  • We're lucky that this (in this version) didn't come out... It looks far worse than the original game.

  • this trailer is fail

  • @LigaPT2010PT2011 did you read the description? xD

  • EA needs to be guard whacked.

  • Do I get my castle back!?!

  • Looks like Richard garriott had one bad fucking dream....must have eaten a bad burrito before bed 

  • If this game came out I'd play it. Oh well.

  • this is too cool!! if it came out i woulnt be such a wower!

  • aye ruin .. people make game ...... remeber.. "rainfall"

  • looks pretty cool <:/

  • I'm formerly a UO addict who played ALOT for about 5 or 6 years and I thought the game was most appealing in the 2d format. When the 3d look came in, I didn't really like it - though the gameplay additions were cool. Still, when I see this, I think of some cheesy PS2 RPG and cringe. I also imagine the lag in busy parts of the game using these graphics (tho I cud be wrong) - I'm not confident this will be as good as the original, 2D version was/is

  • @y2j1980x UO2 is never coming out dude. :\

    I wish it was though.

  • @XxSeanOfDeathxX Well, not this game exactly, but more like how Ultima X type of thing... That's why I hate EA, though I have to say Medal of Honor is a good series.

  • epic fail game.

  • good thing it never came out, im sure it would of started out as shitty as UO is now

  • RIP Best game in the world. Who commited the crime you ask? all fingers point to electronic arts.

  • Ridgeback looked ftw

  • how would the combat work in this game guest we will never know =[

  • Damn, I had forgotten about this! I actully bought Blackthorns Revange thinking it was this game ^^

  • Like their slong says: EA games, ruining everything! Or something like that...

  • i was so excited for this. than it never came out =[

  • I remember downloading this as quicktime on a 56k for two days. I saved it and still have it on CD. I use to watch it and get pumped for school.

    I was so excited about the mix and matching magic types. Earth + Fire = lava.

    Water + Fire made steam/air. RIP OU2

  • @MageryGuy Fuck you have the game files???? You could be a fucking god if you put this on a popular forum like mmorpgXcom and then uploaded them to megaupload, it would not take long for someone to set up a server on hamachi or something please do this i beg you!!

  • @MageryGuy You have the fucking game files??? upload them to mega upload and post the link on the mmorpgXcom forums. It would not take long for someone to make a hamachi server then you would be a complete G!!! please do this im begging you!!

  • @willo248

    OH lol no no the trailer. Not the game. I wasn't lucky enough to get into the UO2 alpha.

  • didnt sony try this game looks alot like EQ to me

  • LOOKS LIKE AN EA GAME, NOT A GAME FROM ORIGINS, IT WOULD B A FAILURE JUST LIKE UO AFTER T2A

  • Thank God this game was never released, but aside from that, UO Lives! Come check out Retribution, it's a freeshard that's exactly like old skool UO, circa 1999-2003. It's awsome, well ran, and lots of players already. I play everyday. Just google uo retribution and follow the steps to get it. It's free!

  • EA ruined the sims, it used to be so fucking good

  • ea sucs they ruined DAoC too

  • Have you noticed that the UO2 symbol looks ALOT like the Sacred 2 symbol? odd huh?

  • I wish EA would just sell the rights to Xbox or PS3 and have it laid out kinda like MAG where there was hundreds online at a time....... but that would make too much sense.

  • I still play UO ans I started the first day it hit the shelves back in 97. I still love it. Never been into PvP, have allways been the role player and dungeon crawler (not to say I have not done and learned it). I still think it was the best gaming creation ever. I also still play PlanetSide. It is such a different game that I also Love.

  • lol at 1:32 trying to sweep a flying creature.

    this game would have been awesome if they had actually made it and dropped the quasi-futuristic theme. why did they even try to make it futuristic?! too much quake?

  • @rwp80rwp80 correction: 1:29

  • Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't see the same type of innovation and creativity in the gaming industry as I did in the 90's. Seems like all I see are a lot of fps's anymore. Gaming companies just don't take risks like they used to. They either dumb them down for the masses or they rehash some same shooter games over and over again.

  • Sadly this video reveals nothing about the gameplay of "uo2" but a lot about motion capturing.

  • Its so sad... UO 2 would be ADORED if they made it kinda like eq2 but with the UO style.

  • guys dont be angry, this acually is out, its just made by different people who, like you were disappointed at ultima 2 online never comming out. so they made a game that is very similar, it is called DarkFall Online, and its very good now that they have the burning seas patch out. Give it a try, if you would have enjoyed this you will love darkfall online

  • I would have been a customer, buying this game + all xpacs + monthly subscription forever ;o... RELAUNCH PROJECT uo2 ORIGIN!!! GDI

  • I'm such a UO nerd, was able to name every single one of the monsters in this video...looks cool but original is much better than this would be. Anyone that plays UO on Atlantic? I probably know you ^_^

  • I have to dissagree. It would have been totally different. Apples and oranges. The magic system sounded awesome.

  • Oh wow, this look lame a bit, but sure fans would love it tho right?

  • if this game came out it would never of been as good as the origanal UO

  • Grim Faeries - Love is Hell ... they use a remixed version in this video that cuts out the lyrics.

  • Ultima online was one of the best games imo

  • @aaaaaaaaaa426 It was the best game. How they screwed it up is beyond me.

  • @aaaaaaaaaa426 is first mmo 

  • @bubba224422

    not to forget interplay and black isle for atleast the fallout 1&2 and some other nice stuff

  • A lot of people might chew on me forthis one but I also believe nintendo>sega because Sega made and liscensed a game so terrible that it wasn't even worthy of the bargain ben. Panzer Dragon Orta was a nightmare.

  • cool what song...

  • Ayumi Hamasaki - Sparkle

  • This game looked so exciting back in the day. But in retrospect, it looks like total shit, even by early 2000's standards.

  • why it never came out?

  • Thanks for the vid.

  • Ultima Online was great....

  • I love the Ultima licence.

    But this was going to be an epic fail. Good thing they didn't complete it.

  • The animations are stunning! Why can't we have this quality in most mmorpgs today? WHY!?

  • I like the striking similarities between this game and Ultima 9 Ascension ^_^

  • I wish they would do something new with ultima!

  • EA GAMES YOU FUCKERS!!!! they ruined command and conquer series as well.....bastards even made online play from command and conquer....to command and conquer tiberian sun firestorm no more..... :(( i hate gamespy too those fuckers....it always seems like EA and gamespy are together and make online playing for me difficult. :((

  • EA and Gamespy are a fucking joke

    good comapanies are (in no particular order)

    Bungie

    Blizzard

    Ubisoft

    Bethseda

    Headfirst

    2K games

    Red Storm

    not all of them are very popular but I am impressed with thier work

  • Red Storm and UbiSoft FTW

  • @bubba224422 I can add more :) And I agree with many of the ones you've put there.

    Bioware (Fucking great)

    Naughty Dog (Also great)

  • True, also if you want to avoid games that are just horrid

    Smilebit (Putrid)

    MPEG Softdeck (Awfull)

    EA Games (I can't even describe it)

    Game SPY (Ripoff artists)

  • @wyattbbb ABSOLUTLY YOU ARE SO RIGHT! FUCK EA YOU RUINED SOME OF THE BEST SERIES EVER! I WILL NEVER ALLOW MY UNBORN CHILDREN TO PLAY AN EA GAME!

  • i swear EA deserves to Die

  • people have been saying it. how did they exactly ruin it?

  • @wyattbbb Ea, Gamespy and GWFL (I always say "God awful" when I read this) definitely make PC gaming into a pointless chore sometimes. I still have a UO account. I came back after eight years and it's just grinding for items - very boring. Anyone wants a well-balanced account with seven characters maxed out, message me.

  • @wyattbbb EA ruins tons of games nowadays...

  • @wyattbbb ea = WE GREATE THE WORSE IT ISNT IN tHE GAME YOU GOT FRAGGED

  • This was too much of a departure of the Ultima series which is very swords and sorcery, propper fantasy.

    The steampunk look was awesome, and would have been great as another title...and I hope to see something like this someday. Its like UO meets heavy metal animated.

  • Check out my ultima online music videos

  • hahaha wow that brings it back, thanks for the vid

  • oh yeah... i remember when this trailer came out... i was so freaky about it

  • wow

    this game seems to have more atmosphere

    as many games today

    even it was never released

  • Wow your a failure, i doubt you even played uo if you havent heard about uo2 and its absolute failure.

    not like it matters though no game has yet to come close to the depth of the original and everlasting ultima online.

  • It never came out because it sucked... If they ever made a new one it can't be all industrialish... It would have to be all foresty and mountainy... where you could build houses all over and shit... THAT WOULD BE SICK...

  • indeed

  • Mortal Online

  • i still have the email that ultima online sent out lol

  • It still makes me mad and sad that they never released this game. It is a crying bloody shame!

  • This is why animations are important.

    I wish more companies (MYTHIC!) would understand it. Animations are what gives life to a gameworld.

  • Yeah, but mmorpg and animations are different story. Animation can make more lag for a large scale combat in a sandbox world. To be able to make a 100 vs 100 in a sandbox game, the animation have to stay poor. I prefer to do large scale combat myself.

  • Did you come here through a time portal from 1990 or something? We can do ANYTHING with computers nowadays.

  • Game are more complexe you fucktard. You cant make a game with the best animation and graphics ever in a sandbox game like the old UO use to be. Sandbox i mean no instance. 1 world with over 3000 players.

    Im looking for mortal online myself. Just like uo, but realistic. Good animation and graphic, but not perfect because if it was perfect, we would not be able to do large scale combat in one world where other players can do other stuff then fighting.

  • Yes you can, dipshit.

  • Faqs or shut up.
