Economics: Ultima Online, World of Warcraft

Economics is a foundation of many online games including Ultima Online, one of the earliest Massive Online Multi Player Games, a predecessor to World of Warcraft (WOW) and many other games that exist today.

Similar economic principals are seen in social networking games such as Mafia Wars and Vampire Wars on Facebook.

Ultima Online was amazing back then, trying to sell a house was a tough feat itself especially if it was in a crappy place or position (swamp area or tree covering the front). Most likely it still has that today....that game always keeps changing.

UO - the best gaming memories of my life!

[Truthiness231]

Ah, UO... it had it's ups and downs for sure, but it was a solid game! Tons of people gathering for various special events with a real sense of community; houses rising and falling with the time; landscapes being reforged by players using bugs in the system; people having a generally good time. And there was much rejoicing. It had, for it's time and for it's genre, a good long run....

Then a year later they add Trammel and the whole thing spiraled into hell. The end.

You can have a lot of fun in Ultima Online with numerous worlds and expansions now! The economy is very balanced, with many trades and special quests. There is a complete pvp world with a world of non pvp. You can complete quests and trades without never having to battle unlike other games out today. Ultima Online was the best first massively multiple player online game ten years ago. This online computer game added several new excellent expansions.

Hello, please what is the backround music??? Btw nice video, I spent a lot of time in UO, even now :-)

[LatestUFOSightings]

Many reasons:

1) It won't feel like the custom shard I was playing on.

2) I will still get pissed off by bugs that there are.

3) I will see stuff to improve but won't be able to because I'm not an admin/decorator.

4) I like roleplay+pvp and hate trammel and safe zones.

5) I'd like to play classic old hardcore UO with custom housing and KR graphics. Can this server provide that? No.

6) I have a job.

7) I have a life.

Why does this video cut off?

I always liked UO while I was playing from 1998-2005. But I recently started to play UOSA and now I can see how much better the game was during the Second Age time.
