Ultima Online (often abbreviated as "UO") is an MMORPG set on the fictional world of Sosaria. Brittania (as Sosaria is now called) offers many adventures for those seeking action, as well as activities for those with a calmer sense of action. You can be the hero that slays the dragon that threatens the lives of citizens or you can simply be the blacksmith who crafts the armor that the hero wears.

Ultima Online is recognized as one of the first online roleplaying games. It's expansion is the Kingdom Reborn expansion, redesigned the game's graphics and user interface, as well as added new content such as a new tutorial. The game continues to evolve and attract subscribers despite its age. The latest expansion, Stygian Abyss, allows players to play as Gargoyles and opens up the caverns and catacombs to Ultima Online’s largest dungeon yet.

  • Although they misuse the word "amnesty" (props to Razorwire for catching it).

    Ultima Online turns ten soon! In celebration, your old account is reactivated. If you've ever toyed around with the idea of going back, if even just to see how far we've come, now is the time.

  • Allen Rausch takes a look at Ultima Online: Kingdom Reborn over at GameSpy.

    "The game also sports a brand new user interface based on both player feedback and the lessons learned by UO's modern-day competitors. Speech and spell text for example, will no longer be displayed in a pseudo-"Olde English" font that takes up huge amounts of screen space, but in a more sensible font presented in a way that no longer obscures the play field. Inventory has been re-organized into stackable and scrollable lists rather than the confusing bag system that actually had items block other items. Even things as simple as hotbars will be new to the game."

  • The New Life of Ultima Online

    MMORPG.com has posted their look at Ultima Online at the recent EA Mythic Media Event.

    Recently (and even not-so-recently), people have been speculating that the old MMO giant would soon pass quietly into the gentle night, joining so many games that have come and gone within its lifetime. Last week, we learned that not only was there life left in her, but that the entire game would be getting a whole new lease on life.

    More is a click away.
