Hey everyone.
So I'm very, very interested in starting Ultima Online for the first time. The last Ultima game I played was I think Ascensions, or one of the ports which shifted from 2d to 3d gameplay. I recently bought Ultima 7 on GOG.com and was completely blown away by the amount of content there was.
Now, I regrettably and unfortunately was unable to experience the glory of Ultima Online in it's golden days, and have heard a lot about how drastically the game has changed from it's release to it's current build.
This is a rather vague question, but what was the main reason people left UO? What was the biggest change that was implemented that "killed the game"?
Are there still a number of people who still play UO? I would very much like to get into UO as it seems like my type of mmo (Content > Visuals), however is it worth it?
Considering the numerous changes UO has gone through, what makes this server stand out from the rest/retail server?
I was thinking about starting from the retail client, however Pandora has it's own allure that is quite captivating so I'm currently stuck between which one to start off with.
