OMG do I remember? I started playing UO in 1998. We all quite when Trammel came out. Totally ruined the game. I still think about this game and how immersed I felt playing it. Nothing like it since. I really wish they would do a 3D version of Old School UO without Trammel. I'd like to see the same continent and towns too. That would be the biggest game MMO in the world if they did that.
Very good vid, kinda hate it though reminds me what we will never have again. A game made for adults, with risk, friends and everyhting that made that game great.
I'm another Great Lakes player from '97-2002...Fistandantilus/Vasingul. Google "Vasingul KR" and see if check the old website....see if you remember any of the characters there! Peace!
Hey brother. Thanks for this video. I loved this game in the old days. I remember waiting for the moongates. I remember the wonder and the immersion and the sense of community before all the expansions. T2A was ok but after that, it fell to crap. I recently went back to check out UO and it DOES NOT COMPARE. It doesn't have the same magic anymore.

the best thing from In Por Ylem is the shard is fairly new ( 5 months old ) I'd say 2 / 3rd of the server's population is not even near being 7x gm you will find pvp or people to group with at any stage of the game , even the newbie levels of despise have at least 5 or more people hunting at pretty much any time !! ITS INSANE!!!
To everyone whom wish they could relive that UO feeling that era of great fun and adventure I urge you to visit inporylem! google: IPY 2. the biggest free UO shard!! over 1000( ONE THOUSAND ) people online at all time of the day!!!set upon the 1998-1999 pre-t2a era , pvp, dungeons, even a role player community!!
I played shortly after T2A was released... It was simply epic. It's now 2011, and not a single game out now can compare to the fun, the sense of immersion, and the sheer number of things you can do in a single game. The community was so strong and it was just a blast to log on everyday to play. Here's to hoping they will make another UO game similar to the old style. Lord Hector, Napa Valley, Clan Marrach Faol.
I just found my old UO games, and couldnt remember the game play O_O and, I played from 2000 to 2005 and I remember loving the game so much! but I went to wow and couldnt afford both subscriptions >_<... now I'm playing Rift... but STILL I want to find a game that looks as good as the moddern crap but with the game play of UO, everything I've played since is just a very pail (but pretty looking) in comparison.. Old UO for the win! (But the 3D content was terrible and is why I left in the end :P
I played UO from the start, and all of the old school Ultimas, as well. Remains, to this day, my favorite game series EVER! I loved the emphasis on skills over common RPG level grinding.
Ultima V ~ Warriors of Destiny was soooo ahead of its time, with its day/night cycles, player/NPC interaction and questioning system, runic language, huge world, etc... All packed on a handful of horribly slow old floppies. U7 was also beyond awesome.

I still get heart-sick and yearn for the old days, IE Feb. 1998 to 2001'ish. Had the best time of my gaming life in UO, online or console, and made the best friends I've ever had there too. Really miss UO and my old friends.
I just love how versatile this game was. No body could hide in trammel, everybody even PKs were vulnerable. Reputation actually meant something. I could help a thief friend defending from his attackers at the Xroad. I could be mining iron ore around the mountain near trinsic or baking cookies or grind potions in the comfort of my forge watching strangers running around the forest. Or we could walk around and admire how others decorate their homes. How can any game compete with this??
Missed the whole uo thing didnt have the interent back then,but watching this nearly brings a tear to my eye haha,they need to study this game out and find out exactly what made it so great,could be that it was just the first real mmorg of its kind,the father of all mmorgs.
This video made me lose heart and want to quit the present day game. It's lost its soul in the replacement of good playing for pixel toys. The brilliance of the earlier game is gone forever, as are a lot of the original players. Cheers, mates! And Happy 2011 in ten minutes.
Yeah I remember! I stopped playing because of the stupid shit they did to screw up the game. All the stupid super uber weapons and armor. I like the new houses though but thats where it ends. If someone dies I should be able to jack their shit. Period. I had a PK and a PVM character and two mules. What good fun that was. Oh remember the stealing skill?? Man being part of the trinsic borrowers was great fun. Ahhh man I guess I will go DL the client and use the free 14 day trial and quit again!
*cries* I remember what UO used to be =;{ in fact I rmember old haven like it was new and soo full of vibrant players sellign wares and battleing monsters together....so you remember old haven?.......but now I know the truth its too much to bear *cries and weeps for Haven of old*
this game used to be the shit when it came out, played it for about 5 years after its release and once they started updating to add new material it completely changed the game play.
@MrMiksters Download a program called UO Razor. Using this you can connect to three different free shards. One is Pre-T2A, I forget what the other one is, and the third, Demise, is a server with content all the way up to Samurai Empire so far.
I don't care what anyone says...There will NEVER be a game like Ultima Online ever again. It was the best of its kind and quite possibly the greatest video game ever created.
I was Dartanian on Pacific shard back during The Second Age. I left shortly after Age of Shadows came out. Great memories especially during the war of Trinsic. I remember!
i started playing uo in early 99. i remember uo before trammel and how great the game was. it can never be brought back, nor can any game replicate the magic that game had. it really is only a memory for those of us who remember. i also play uosecondage and I can vouch that it is the best ultima server i have played since quit official servers in early 2003. accurate to '99 and a real sense of community.
I totaly agree it was better with only one world we got away with a lot of great things, ie planting stuff in a dead body so a newbe would take it, get killed by the guards and loot him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!very fun
Yeah i remember, i started near the release of UO, i played LS server hardcore and my account is still active, nearly 12 years.
My cahracters were named Ultima Online, Xaiver, XXX, and a few others, i mainly hung out in Minoc, and would love to meet some old friends Jason, Drudge, Wolf, Door, and others.
I just started on the UO Second Age free server uosecondage(dot)com. Completely free and they even have the whole game for download if you don't have your discs anymore. Accurate 1999 UO gameplay and over 500 online. I'll hook you up with some gold if you start.
Gawd, I remember the old days.. I was on the Great Lakes Server, "Lady Kittie" with the pink hair. heh. I remember people like "Ultima" and "Sien"... I ended up stopping playing after I maxed all skills at the time (even with the + scrolls), got my castle and rares.. it just wasn't "fun" anymore. It was all about status. :( .. I miss playing though.. good times.. good times.
By the way...for those of the old days. I am Crom from Great Lakes, use to be in the Corelone Family (way back 97-98), The RGB (Royal Guardians of Brittania, west of the Brit East Swamp, 98) and Palidins of Pain (Peninsula east of Brit, 98-99), then formed the family guild we still have FoV. Loved the Covy Shutdown Battles :-)
Man, good times. Funny, I also played on GL and I was also in the RGB during that time period! I went by the name Turalyon. I got booted out when I accidentally killed our leader during a practice, wasn't his name Martel...or something like that, I'm not sure. Feels like a lifetime ago. Man, good times.
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.
The New Pre-T2A: 97-98 UO with innovative events. The direction the expansions should have gone, retaining the basics: Notoriety System, Old Housing System, Combat, 1 account. Come relive the original experience of Ultima Online: UOGenesis(dot)com
I played on Napa Valley on Dec 99 - good memories and I agree with you leojsivad... the game was full of friends, enemies and especially community... No one has developed a similar game with town attacks, loot, etc... I MISS THE OLD UO!!!
I was a member from 98 - 04... truly a great game. recently i emailed and got my Old password.. low and behold, MY ACCOUNT still exists! although i must admit i'm a little scared to log onto it.. my character "Friar" is probably so out dated.. I know i have about 10M in gold and some old rare things.. anybody have any suggestions???
Well, I use a program called Razor to connect to a few shards. My friends all play on Demise, which is a OSI clone server. They are up to SE currently.
The other one is called Hybrid, which is a T2A shard, reminiscent of the "old days".
I just started on the UO Second Age free server uosecondage(dot)com. Completely free and they even have the whole game for download if you don't have your discs anymore. Accurate 1999 UO gameplay and over 500 online. I'll hook you up with some gold if you start.
Richard Gariott's expansions were the best (UO1 , T2A..) and he didn't like EA's ideas in 2000s , and he decided to leave ultima online community.. And we have seen the ideas of EA.. It was tryin to bring trammel , fucking noob pvm ideas.. We miss u richard gariott
i still play uo and i dont think its too bad i am a uo vet for 7 years and i still play and i think its still good i still have a bunch of friends from 7 years ago but alot of them died over those years :[ RIP my friends
T2A Helped.. A little, TRAM and FEL was the final part though. No such thing as BOD, No such thing as Blessed, PVP? Everywhere. That is WoW. not what we have now.
yes i do agree the reptalons did mess it up but after that was we got awesome greater dragons till they finally nerfed them a while ago then they came out with SA that changed all of that.
I did not expect a response and thank you for taking the time. I will try this way and see what is what. Damn I'm not against PVP, just they can really mess up a good day. Well, 8 years ago is the last I remember. Thanks again.
Download ConnectUO and connect to UOGamers: Hybrid. 900+ players at any given time, but its open PVP, not in "special zones". Dunno what Mastachiefs is thinking of.
wow ya just play it.... never thought of that?! is it any good? will i be murdered right away? where to play (shard)? is it worth just mining and killing dragons and not pvp? i hate pvp.
Play UOGamers:hybrid with over 1000 players a day online with growing community.(Only PVP in special zones)
Play UO-Second Age free shard as well with around 500 players a day with a growing and kind community.(Not sure of the PVP deal due to the fact I havent been playing this shard for a while)
I started a year ago,and Befor you go all in your face words I would looooove to elt you know that,there is a second age free shard out known as Second Age...And there is also one known as UOGamers:Hybrid which has over 1000 players online every day!How is that for community mate?
I don't understand why Ultima Online's legacy never took on to any other MMORPG. All we see now is PVP RPG games masked as MMORPG with no true depths. I've heard of Darkfall one of few new MMORPG games that follows the same path as UO did, but will it truly? One can only hope when the game has improved itself alittle. So many years since UO was released and it's still more free and unique than any other game, makes you think doesn't it?
darkfall is pretty much nothing like uo. its a completely pvp focused game (pretty much nothing in terms of community) while uo was more a community focused game.
I Have heard that to, but as they talk alot about UO being an inspiration I believe the PVP is only a way to attract people abit and when the game is established It might get to that Community feel. I hope so anyway cause I wanna play a game with atleast alittle more community feel PLUS freedom at the same time
Fear not my friends. Broken Earth. an mmo that me and my friends are writing this VERY moment. Shalt bring back the love, the wars, the battles and the magic...of Ultima Online.
second age is a free shard that recreates the old era fairly well. it is also decently populated, usually about 400 online at all times. i used to play UO between 98-00 and second age was a pleasure to find. not trying to spam or anything, but i thought other UO veterans might be interested in checking it out.
oh and i remember playing on great lakes and we had a house right next to the Urks. we had clan battles almost everyday. i still even remember some of their language...
Ulitma Online was the most EPIC game i 've ever played. to keep users for years, is unthinkable. it wasnt carebearish or noobish. WoW ruined all mmo's, UO FOREVER! ill never forget that amazing game, EVER.
I want the old UO back. I played from 98-03. I watched as UO was destroyed. I missed the day when everyone had to train and keep an eye out for PKs. I missed pvp that was based on skills and simple weapons. It is now items based and full of care bears. I loved factions, but care bear land sucked. I had one of the highest faction kill counts on atlantic back in the day. My name was YenCanDo, any on here know me?
Nope, YenCanDo was the one. My partner in crime was YangCanToo. I believe at the top of my kills I was with a faction guild known as KrW. I was maintaining over 150-250 points without a kill bank character. Once those stupid ass scroll things came out, I stopped factions pretty much. My guild made a PK unit for the scroll noobs in the dungeons. So we started hunting care bears instead of faction wars. What was your faction characters name? I was a 6x mage. 95 resist spells.
Yeah those two names are really familiar; I don't remember running into you guys much though. I'm guessing you really didn't do all that Guarding Bases stuff; lol I think I wasted most of my time with that. Sohei was my chr name; mostly hung out with F!U Lickable, Satin, ect. lol I know most people hated them but they were funny.
I don't think another game will ever top UO for me. My first MMO and the most in depth gaming experience of my life. I was disillusioned when UO:Renaissance (and trammel) came out. I quit within a year after it. Watching as one by one my friends slipped away. Bitter, logging on only to play factions, Order/Chaos, pre-downtime fights at Britain GY, and quit when I had that "i'm alone" feeling. Leaving a castle, tower, 3 smalls to IDOC with all my UO possessions within.
Ultima Online will always be, in my heart, the pinnacle of Role-Playing games.
The MMO scene is truly defined by the non-linear, sandbox format, and no MMORPG to date can accomplish the freedom and interactivity UO provided. I do not want to be constrained and restricted to what the world wants of me. I want a game where I can herd sheep, tame dragons, hunt for treasure, defeat murderous opponents, fish for sea serpents, and bake bread with flour I ground at the mill, from wheat I picked.
I agree. What got me so involved with UO was the wide array of possibilities before you. Want to be a murderer? A bounty hunter? A fisherman who begs on the streets? Uo had it for you.
UO is still the best. I quit playing Origin's UO when they started complicating everything. Now I play at ColdfireUO. Its a free Sphere UO shard. Tons of crafting, hunting, & PvP. Good player base. If you liked old UO, you would love this shard. Check out my vids by clicking on my name. All of them were recorded in April/May of this year.
i feel bad after watching this. i doubt it can ever be this way again. there is no more sense of community now. i quit uo about 10 years ago because of all the idiot psycopaths that travel in groups of 10 and destroy everything with a lifebar. they are insane. they ruined this game and its the same idiots you see talking about absolutely nothing on wow and war
man I swear if I ever become millionnair or just cash overloaded I will put on the table a shitload of cash to buy the 1998/1999 versions of UO and the copyright and all and recommercialize it with 5$ monthly fee to substain the connection rent. and I'd never fucking add any single thing to the freaking game. and man I bet I'd get even richer doing that.
I just hope such files like the 98/99 versions and every necessary stuff to host such a thing still exist , otherwise I want the head of the person who thrown it away!
I remember. But lol @ the bit where you show off a Valorite runic as though it was a beautiful thing. Runics, especially in factions, were seriously wank at the time :p
Aye, I agree, although the pic I took made me drool cause it was a Vanq Katana, probably one of the best weapons in the game for a fighter at that period.
I remember! I Remember! take me back to those days! Days without WoW, days without colourful weapons! Where a Sword of Vanquishing was all you needed, and Demonbone armour dropped on deamons all the live long day!
The pureness of this game will always have a place in my heart. I have hopes that one day someone else will design a game similar to UO in nature with modern graphics, but that's a pipe dream. Darkfall remains the only possible release soon, and my hopes are high for it.
That said, UO when it first came out will perhaps always be the most meaningful gaming experience I've ever had.
I started playing when AOS first came out and since they had expansion packs it sucks ass now.. But I still play it but its not the same really.. I miss true old pvp and the epic gear that was worth playing back then now its just eh whatever..
I have never found a game that was more exciting and more fun ever, and I prolly never will. I feel so lucky to have experienced this game and I hope those who havent will get a chance to see this game like myself and the other lucky ones have.
This MMO not just father for all MMO's, but more like GOD comparing to all modern MMO's. I so hoping that someday game industry will realese somting that will be worthy to be compered with UO.
Absolutely right! This used to be the GREATEST game of all times! And even in its present state it wipes the floor with all these World of Warcraft-Shit! Garriot said not long ago, that he doesnt understand why no single game has followed the path of UO.
then garriot should bring this shit back. I'm talking pre uor . casting with weaps in hands , all that good shit. pking dungeon crawling. OSI dry fucked this game.
Wonderful Video... it really brings me back to those days man, I played Uo since beta and there has not been a game to match it since, over 10 years later.
It has been my hope that Darkfall will be the game that does so.
dang me and my brother have been lisening to ultima online music for the last 3 days n we realize how much we miss the old times n the fun we had. sounds lame but feels real.
I know what you mean. It's one of those things that I did when I was younger and didn't have the responsibilities I have now. I miss pulling all nighters with my UO guild pk'ing or dungeon raiding.
OMG do I remember? I started playing UO in 1998. We all quite when Trammel came out. Totally ruined the game. I still think about this game and how immersed I felt playing it. Nothing like it since. I really wish they would do a 3D version of Old School UO without Trammel. I'd like to see the same continent and towns too. That would be the biggest game MMO in the world if they did that.

i started playing uo in early 99. i remember uo before trammel and how great the game was. it can never be brought back, nor can any game replicate the magic that game had. it really is only a memory for those of us who remember. i also play uosecondage and I can vouch that it is the best ultima server i have played since quit official servers in early 2003. accurate to '99 and a real sense of community.

Gawd, I remember the old days.. I was on the Great Lakes Server, "Lady Kittie" with the pink hair. heh. I remember people like "Ultima" and "Sien"... I ended up stopping playing after I maxed all skills at the time (even with the + scrolls), got my castle and rares.. it just wasn't "fun" anymore. It was all about status. :( .. I miss playing though.. good times.. good times.

mastachiefs49 2 years ago
I don't understand why Ultima Online's legacy never took on to any other MMORPG. All we see now is PVP RPG games masked as MMORPG with no true depths. I've heard of Darkfall one of few new MMORPG games that follows the same path as UO did, but will it truly? One can only hope when the game has improved itself alittle. So many years since UO was released and it's still more free and unique than any other game, makes you think doesn't it?

darkfall is pretty much nothing like uo. its a completely pvp focused game (pretty much nothing in terms of community) while uo was more a community focused game.

I Have heard that to, but as they talk alot about UO being an inspiration I believe the PVP is only a way to attract people abit and when the game is established It might get to that Community feel.

I want the old UO back. I played from 98-03. I watched as UO was destroyed. I missed the day when everyone had to train and keep an eye out for PKs. I missed pvp that was based on skills and simple weapons. It is now items based and full of care bears. I loved factions, but care bear land sucked. I had one of the highest faction kill counts on atlantic back in the day. My name was YenCanDo, any on here know me?
justus005 2 years ago
Did you go by any other name? Played Factions in Atlantic basically since it opened till I quit in 02.
shadydavy 2 years ago
Nope, YenCanDo was the one. My partner in crime was YangCanToo. I believe at the top of my kills I was with a faction guild known as KrW. I was maintaining over 150-250 points without a kill bank character. Once those stupid ass scroll things came out, I stopped factions pretty much. My guild made a PK unit for the scroll noobs in the dungeons. So we started hunting care bears instead of faction wars. What was your faction characters name? I was a 6x mage. 95 resist spells.
justus005 2 years ago
Yeah those two names are really familiar; I don't remember running into you guys much though. I'm guessing you really didn't do all that Guarding Bases stuff; lol I think I wasted most of my time with that.

I don't think another game will ever top UO for me. My first MMO and the most in depth gaming experience of my life. I was disillusioned when UO:Renaissance (and trammel) came out. I quit within a year after it. Watching as one by one my friends slipped away. Bitter, logging on only to play factions, Order/Chaos, pre-downtime fights at Britain GY, and quit when I had that "i'm alone" feeling. Leaving a castle, tower, 3 smalls to IDOC with all my UO possessions within.
Keep the memories friends.
Avidius888 2 years ago
Ultima Online will always be, in my heart, the pinnacle of Role-Playing games.
The MMO scene is truly defined by the non-linear, sandbox format, and no MMORPG to date can accomplish the freedom and interactivity UO provided. I do not want to be constrained and restricted to what the world wants of me. I want a game where I can herd sheep, tame dragons, hunt for treasure, defeat murderous opponents, fish for sea serpents, and bake bread with flour I ground at the mill, from wheat I picked.
DariakFrostmourne 2 years ago
I agree. What got me so involved with UO was the wide array of possibilities before you. Want to be a murderer? A bounty hunter? A fisherman who begs on the streets? Uo had it for you.

The pureness of this game will always have a place in my heart. I have hopes that one day someone else will design a game similar to UO in nature with modern graphics, but that's a pipe dream. Darkfall remains the only possible release soon, and my hopes are high for it.
That said, UO when it first came out will perhaps always be the most meaningful gaming experience I've ever had.
