Hi , I am also an UO addict, this addiction is here since 15 years. I play mostly tamer and mages, love to pvp but guess i am very rusty right now. I like the automation potential of UO, this type of stuff should not be banned. Also there was never a real sandbox non-level oriented game like UO so all theese years UO never got replaced.
Not very young UO player here, 35 yo , got 1 kid , waiting for him to grow up and play games with me.

I have not played on OSI alot because of connection issues. Mostly spent time on Freeshards, I loved AOS era. Loving this new additions too but AOS is my favorite. Right now playing on a freeshard (quingis) in my country .
I love UO mainly because of randomness and surprises everywhere in game. Most stuff is not forced or predefined , loot forexample , or items or character builds. this is how a real sandbox game should be.
theres a saying you know : Ultima Online, Real Life Offline.
