UO's Next expansion pack...
- Thread starter Ryan
- Start date
Err. It may come as news to you, but Garriot left UO and EA behind several years ago, and started a new company called Destination Games along with the person behind the "Lord Blackthorn"-character (Starr Long?), plus several of the original UO team after they were laid off following the disaster known as "Origin Worlds Online" or more commonly: "Ultima Online 2".Lucid Nagual said:I hate to say this, but Richard never left completely. He is still involved with Ultima Online. And I'm not surprised to hear about races, new woods, ect. I'm sure they have been watching RunUO for new ideas.
Now he's working for NCSoft, running their US division called NCSoft Austin, creating Tabula Rasa... I very much doubt he's still involved with Ultima Online.

im not going to complain about the new expansion until i test it and have a solid reason to flame it
although i would like to see some kind of reply from a RunUO staff about the comment "that RunUO isnt up to par with UO:SE yet.."

And when he left he said he would still be partcipating in Ultima Online, but that doesn't mean he was going to go through with it. There is always friendly talk in a situation like this, but another thing as time goes by. It will prove to be a big lose to EA Games I'm sure of it. I'll forever miss Richard's Ultima releases
I've been playing since Ultima 3 hit the stores.---------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm looking forward to new graphics and the quest system myself. And I agree it seems like a small expansion. It prolly would of been smarter to release the Elf crap instead of SE and then introduce a new race this time

You have to remember EA is in this for the $$$. While their userbase is shrinking in the US/Europe to new games like WoW, in Japan it's been reported as growing, almost like a cult following. Hence UO:SE.Lucid Nagual said:It prolly would of been smarter to release the Elf crap instead of SE and then introduce a new race this time

Damn after reading that it looks like an awsome expansion it fits the story pretty good and adds ALOT of nice shit I mean 20% housing space increase is the best and spell weaving looks insane too. Harder enemies has me a tad worried cuz the SE shit was really tough compared to all the other stuff but it looks great to me. Better then F******G samurias and ninjas.

OMFG Elvs u gotta be jokeing Does Uo REALLY need to Keep Releaseing All these STUPID Land's/skills/REALLY retarded Weps . why ?? i personally will be boycotting uo "osi's" any how
That line there... it's just... funny on a site like this.
It seems to me that the big thing that keeps people playing UO is the combat and the housing. Elves are getting new combat abilities, and there will be yet another land addition and new housing. I'd say they're not being lazy, so much as making additions that their targeted group will go for. Don't forget this new magic concept, since PAladin and Necromancy spells did so well for them already... Roleplayers are as always a secondary objective in an mmorpg, and what roleplayer wouldn't love to add their "thee's" and the "thou's" to a newly learnt elfen dialect?
Overall, I'm eager to see the new stuff... Hopefully RunUO will be able to get the elfish goodies implemented in record time, since it's already past the 1.0-release milestone.

hmm ... Dude wake up! Runuo gave us source code! You have that what they have(okay they have now better
) but anyway.You can build all support by yourself.Why does you think RunUO should do this?They can anymoment say we are out! And then what you are going to do? You must to learn to programm yourself and start doing something not waiting on Runuo.Atleast I think so... dunno maybe i am wrong.Child Slayer666 said:lol well im all for new stuff

I can tell you that their private build supports almost all the new features.
It also supports some other things, but thats not important.

I liked SE. I'll propably like ML because in the couple of years I've been playing UO I've tried a lot of other games. DAoC, EQ, WoW, etc etc etc. and even though UO may have a couple of problems and really sh*tty gfx, it still remains way ahead of every other mmorpg.
All the new mmorpgs remove your character skill freedom and force you into classes. The new mmorpgs focus more on graphics than gameplay. When I first saw WoW I was like WOW! But after playing it for a month it was more like oh... wow... Then I went back to playing UO.
Another expansion that adds some new stuff really won't hurt.

Have you seen all the UO developers that have left the last month? Speedman left yesterday too. And a few weeks ago, we had Vex, Oaks, Hanse and Sunsword have left or probably left or been transferred too.

All the developers leaving is a bad sign, yes, but they will really really need to screw up UO or release UO2 before I stop playing. EA may suck for their greedy nature, but hopefully the expansion won't be bad just because of that. Anyway, we won't know until we play it.

I agree with previous poster, if their going to start adding races in add more then just elves.
Wonder if its going to bring in new paperdoll art or just new skills like previous expansions.
I seriously think EA has been poking around on player shards. OSI is begining to look more and more like a player shard lately with all the hues and stuff. What better place to get ideas from then shards ran by players. EA probably thankfull for RunUO to give them ideas of what the players really want.

See the appropriate thread, and see the other older news about "vex has left the building too" and "oaks has left the building" etc etc.
