Title: Ultimate of sad.....
Post by: TrailMyx on March 31, 2009, 06:24:36 PM: Goto www.ea.com

In the search EA.com field, enter "Ultima Online"

Me thinks there's not much gas left in the tank...

Then! Try to find it. Link if you can.... (I know you can find it in the support section, but not in the "products" section)

It's a rare day when a larger company will regurgitate a previously eaten smaller company. EA would rather kill UO than have it be a potential competitor.

There are a few well supported and stable free shards out there. I think when EA closes UO for good free shards will still be around for a while. Who knows what will happen. I'm still sold on the PvP game mechanics of UO. I don't have a lot of interest in other games I play from time to time. I haven't payed EA in many many years but am still a hardcore UO game nerd loser. Sad to see official shards hurting, but I know if they do close it could raise the freeshard population. For someone like me the death of UO is just a bit more life for free shards.

Post by: Scotch_Tape on April 08, 2009, 02:41:13 PM: I was discouraged at first when I first considered playing again, but on a freeshard. I ended up giving my accounts away and when I came back the person who I gave them to just sold them off. I'm glad I did though because I've had more fun on free shards then I ever did on EA. So I think if people still have any interest in actually playing UO then they just might come to a freeshard. Where do you think freeshards get thier player base? EA shards. (and random turkish guys who wander in, don't ask me why they are from Turkey)

Anyway, that's just my look on things. I only had about 3 years of crap and time invested, so 10 years might be a different story.

Post by: Daeus on April 08, 2009, 03:21:34 PM: I could bring myself to play on a freeshard only if EA pulled the plug.

My only experience with a freeshard was a bad one, with a lot of corrupt GMs, and stupid rulesets.

Post by: Khameleon on April 08, 2009, 03:24:24 PM: I thought everyone on Free Shards where GMs?
at least in my past thats how it started.

Post by: Scotch_Tape on April 09, 2009, 02:57:39 PM: well, pretty much anyone with a computer and a internet connection can host a shard. You can find more professionally done free shards out there. Just do me a favor. If EA takes a dump on UO someday and you still have interest in UO check out some of the shards that have been around a while.
