It's great to be back playing UO, after about 7 years off i finally stumbled across the free shards (this reddit post really peaked my interest http://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/daoa8/ahh_ultima_online_wipes_nostalgic_tear/ ) and i cant believe how active they are! I'm very excited to get back to playing the UO i remember, not the monstrosity that has become on the OSI servers.
