One of The greatest games ive ever played [Posted on 2001-04-15]
Ive had this game for 5 months now and since then i havent been able to leave my computer. You can be anything you want to be not like diablo 2 which you dont have much freedom. The areas to explore are almost endless. If you buy this game you will get hooked. Trust me.

Renaissance ruined the game [Posted on 2001-07-03]
Ultima Online Renaissance ruined the original games potential to be a very good multiplayer game. Its no longer worth the time or money to play.

UO is a great roleplay! [Posted on 2001-08-21]
Ultima Online is a very impressive and immersive game. There are many options available in the huge, diverse online world that this game offers. I found that I was easily able to create a character and become a part of the community with little trouble. Some of the occupations are Tailor, Carpenter, Pure Mage, Animal Tamer, Blacksmith, and many more. Plus, there are thousands of real people online all the time that you can talk to. I think Ultima Online is one of the best role play games that the computer world currently has to offer.

Ultima Online: A role players review [Posted on 2003-08-08]
I have played Everquest and Earth and beyond as well as a little know game called Avalon ...Online games, yet, the detail to which Ulima Online creates a world is well beyond any other game, on or off line...Example I have a character that is a tailor. He hunts animals and prepares their hides, then sews their hides into boots,shoes and leather armor to sell....That's not all...he collects cotton from plants, wool from shearing sheep, then spins it on a wheel, uses a loom and makes the thread and yarn into cloth...dyes the cloth and sews clothes to wear or sell, everything from hats to pants to kilts and dresses, includeing cloaks. He regularly rides a horse that requires feeding and needs resting on occasion. His weapons need to be repaired by interaction with Blacksmith characters. He lives in a small tower with furniture and everything. Now thats detail! He is a Paladin and lives by the code. The detailed game play of your fantacy is also enhanced by other roleplayers in the game...such things as greeting courtesies take on a whole new meaning with characters rangeing from paladins to necromancers and the latest in player designed characters. Whether you wish to design your own characters or pick from a selection, I think you will find this game captivateing...I would, however, caution you to limit your game play...this game can be a little addicting. Enjoy!

If it's not worth it, why not ask the thousands who have been on for 8 years? [Posted on 2005-10-10]
Like anything, UO suffers from flaws, if it was perfect you would probably have to sell off your life in some form to some type of demon wanting your soul for his dark lord but thankfully, UO is a true experience, first off, the game is built on a community rather than just a few pixels built around "the same ol, same ol" each day is something new. Every day you can potentially meet someone different and share a new battle that lasts hours with some close friends with characters you've taken much time and pride to craft into what YOU want. With 5 characters and 700 points to devote per char, the possibilities per account are fascinating. I have been playing for around 8 years myself a little after the BETA release and I have also been an avid fan of Square games, Namco fighters, etc, and only UO has kept me going this long and I suspect many years to come due to the length of time it possibly has.
