On: Why Are People Still Playing Ultima Online?

[madaxe_again]

Why do I still play Ultima VI from time to time?

Because nostalgia, and it's still a really absorbing game.

Never played UO, bar a brief furtle when it originally launched, as I could see the crack rocks glistening all too appealingly.

Spam spam spam humbug.

For the uninitiated, "spam spam spam humbug" brought up a cheat menu in Ultima VI.

I never played VI, but have thought about revisiting VII if/when the Exult bugs get worked out. What do you think of VII in comparison to VI?

[cozuya → danso]

Not OP but I only played VI once and thought it to be fairly pale in comparison to V, which to me is still the seminal game in its genre. IV was amazing but rough, VI was fairly retread, V got it just right I think.

V was my favourite by far too - IV and VI just didnt capture me as much. Had a friend that actually finished V - took quite a few months of constant play apparently
