= Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Ultima Online 7th Anniversary Edition (CD-ROM)

I played UO for several years - it was the ONLY game I played for a long time.

Back in the day this was a great on-line universe. True interaction with people all over the world. Trade, fight, explore - you could do it all.

Then came the kids. With the explosion in on-line chat that happened as the internet became 'cool' the on-line universe suffered.

Brit Bank - familiar to you if you've ventured into UO before, became the on-line equivalent of the Mall. Kids standing around talking trash.

The RPG feature inevitably suffered. Instead of seeing characters with medieval type names or the attitude of RPG you meet players called 'Britney Spears' or 'K1llEr DuDe'.

EA tried to stem the loss of customers by adding features, but all this did was make the game more attractive to the 'dudes'.

I'm sure EA doesn't care so long as the montly subs keep rolling in, but they lost a lot of the original fan base.

5.0 out of 5 stars Still A Great Game, June 30, 2004

UO has resolved the lag issues that were troublesome for awhile. The Ultima Online game has depth and plenty of things for each player to do. I have played for 3 years and have not yet explored all of the places in the UO world. The gift items that come with this edition are quite good and the sixth character slot is a big bonus. Other games can be more exciting for a period of time but this game has depth and is always challenging.

Ultima Online's 7th anniversary edition proves to be great for new and old players. UO has been a staple in the online community now for seven years and for good reason. It is a nearly perfect game and survives on that fact alone.
New players will find a new world at their finger tips full of never ending adventure. Old players will find awesome in-game rares and an extra character slot that was well needed. Not to mention it also contains every expansion thats ever been released,which makes a nice collection I might add. I have played almost everything on the market and I still come back to Ultima again and again. This is an unconquerable game that never seems to get old. What it lacks in graphics, it most certainly makes up for with its massive content and community. Whether its challenging an ancient dragon or taking on a band of murderous theives this game should challenge any curious gamer. Enjoy!
