Summary: Even with the Player Killers and the Thieves - Very Sweet!
Review: This game is so detailed that you may feel you are not playing but living the game. (don't forget to eat) Most online games I have played do things for you, or are so simple your 3 year old can play without intervention. If I was to sum up Ultima Online in one word that word would be: LIFE!

Summary: UO is a good one.
Review: This is the most addictive game I've ever played. I will caution you that once you start playing, you won't be able to stop. $10 a month is pocket change and it's well worth it. The game is however very laggy, and this can be very, very frustrating. UO is a skill based game. This means that each character (you can make up to 5 characters on each server) has 36 different skills (swords, magery, blacksmithing, animaltaming, etc.). Each skill will be between 0 and 100 (each character starts with 100 skill points which can be distributed among either 2 or 3 different skills). Depending on the level of each of your skills, your characters can do different things (practicing skills will raise them). Also each character has strength, dexterity, and intelligence between 0 and 100. BE CAUTIONED: All 36 skills added up can cannot exceed 700. Also your strength, dexterity, and intelligence added up cannot exceed 225. This means you shouldn't make one character, for example, a mage, a blacksmith, and a tamer. But you can, for instance, make a mage, a blacksmith, and a tamer with 3 separate characters. This game will seem complex when you first start, and there are tons and tons of lots of tricks most good players know about fighting and increasing skills. But you will learn them as well. It takes a massive time commitment to make a few good characters, but it's a very fun game.

Summary: Great upgrade, must have
Review: This upgrade to Ultima Online is great. There are more creatures, better 3-D terrain. If you play Ultima Online you must upgrade to add the new lands to your UO world.

Summary: Yeah, I've Felt that way at times. . .
Review: Ultima Online is a truly diverse game. I have played it for over a year now and am entirely pleased with it. "Former UO Player" expresses feelings I have had with the game perfectly. HOWEVER, I usually only feel that way after I have been PKd ;-). There are a lot of mean people that play this game only to frustrate us "roleplayers" it seems, but it is easy to avoid them. If you play this game long enough, you will meet a core group of people to hang around with. whether you are a starry-eyed, neophyte adventurer or a grimy, grey-faced blacksmith, you WILL fill some niche in this HUGE and diverse society. You can join a guild and hack through a dungeon with a group of friends who are striving to eliminate evil, or you can band together with thieves and brigands to intercept some poor inexperienced group of adventureres. Its all up to you. It is worth $19.99 just to check this game out for a month, trust me. You have to pay $10 a month to play, but they put this to good use providing patches every month to deal with player-reported bugs and problems. In reference to "Former UO Player"'s complaint that it is too easy to macro and have a grandmaster character in a week, Origin just provided a new patch that completely eliminates the effectiveness of macroing (trust me, I have tested it! ;-), among other things. All $$ is well-spent $$ with UO.

Summary: Buy this game!
Review: Ultima Online: The Second Age, is definatly in my book, one of the best games out there. You can play with thousands of players online, interact with people, and do about a million different things. Iv herd people say that the lag is the worst in the world, and that you need a supercomputer to run it without lag. This is not true. Iv got a normal 56k modem with a normal internet connection and I have never had any problems. In conclusion, buy this game! It's one of the best, expesialy if you want an online game. Then it IS the best.

Summary: ultimo better than cosrin?
Review: well it is took a great deal of thought but alas the material thought of money and cost soon overthrew my decision... cosrin in my thought is still the best game for dedicated roleplay although textbased it provides a great deal of flexibility and adverseness like limitless description's where as most visual-based games have only certain graphix you must use in creating the appearance of your persona. but the cost for keeping the cosrin gate open is high and do indeed wish that the cist was less and fixed like that of ultimo but unlike cosrin ultimo costs alot less than cosrin and there for is more popular and for the beginer ultimo is the best game for you and the more visual-based people must reguard it as a great game and a must buy. not to say i dont like it i think it is great and a huge world to discover unlike cosrin wich consists of only one island and usually is inhabbited by no more than 40 or so adventuerers at a time but still the fact of price arose and forced me (very reluctantly) to give up cosrin and go onward to the more affordable games such as ultimo this here is my name within the lands of ultimo and should be heeded as a great assassin and thief extrordinair <g>

Summary: The best game I've ever played!
Review: When I first began playing Ultima Online SOO long ago, I had never played an online/multi-player game before and had no idea what to expect. I almost instantly came to love this game. It is extremely addictive (you will find the hours from evening to morning flying by in a blur) and vastly entertaining. There is no "one way" to do anything. You can aim for a craftsman, a monster-killing warrior, a PvPer, a pure mage, or a hybrid of the above. yOu can buy a house (there's a housing patch going in soon for more land), buy a boat, buy a horse, whatever. Contrary to popular belief, you do not need a cable modem to play this game well. I have a 56k modem and an AOL account and have had no problems with running the game. Lag is a slght problem if you play at busy times (Saturday night at 7 pm) but I generally don't have too many problems with it. You even get Counselors and GMs to help you with your problems. I have heard MANY people say that they have received terrible service from in-game support but I have never had longer than a 5 minute wait for either a Counselor or a Game Master. I highly recommend this game to anyone who wants an alternate reality to "escape" to. =)
