KickStarter Richard Garriott believes he will get Ultima Online back "soon"

[KeighnMcDeath]

Seems like at one time there were CD sets from various publishers where there would be games from many different developers. I don't know how many Might & Magic, Goldbox, Wizardry, Ultima, etc I have on different compilation disks but it is quite a few. Wiki could be flat out wrong too. You get idiots typing in shit at times.

Richard Garriott is America's first and only second generation astronaut.

All those IPS not even owned by the original creators. I discount BG3 and consider it modern rubbish.
Wizardry - japs
Might & magic - ubisoft
Bard's Tale - microsoft
Ultima - EA
Wasteland - microsoft

Some say Fargo is still at the helm bong inXile; meh. Interplay is long gone (or fid it morph inti inxile meh): Baldur's Gate, Wasteland, Bard's Tale.

Actually, I had forgotten interplay published Baldur's Gate.

Someone clarify this for me.

Wasnt Black Isle BG? Interplay was Fallout.

Black Isle was a division created by Interplay

I can't believe UO is still running and people are still paying.
Best Garriott could do is shut it all down and hand it over to the freeshard community.

Last time I played official UO, there were many more expansions. It was run by friendly geeks who also served as game masters, playing alongside the community. It was a very friendly and helpful environment, making it a good, mostly PvE MMO that’s still enjoyable today. There were still many roleplayers, and those reasons make it worth playing. A good community is better than graphics, especially when you compare it to the toxic hellhole that MMOs have become nowadays.

It was around 2010-2011 when they released the High Seas expansions. I don't regret spending time there, and the other expansions were fun. I don't know how it is nowadays.

Why would you continue to play after trammel got added? I made the mistake of continuing on for two more expansions (okay, the runic hammers in Lord Blackthorn's Revenge were a cool idea for crafters), but it was clear that the game was dead.

I looked at screenshots after I had quit and age of shadows came out and suddenly everything was % this, % that. Looked like diablo-esque dogshit.

For all his stupidity I'd rather Garriot take Ultima and sit on it than EA do whatever it is they're doing with their current UO version. Either way, I'm enjoying Outlands. So whatever retarded NFT crap Garriott does will not bother me.

*Gets IP*
*Takes a massive shit on the community servers - using his money to cease and desist them into hell - lets be honest he's petty enough to do it too*
*Utterly kills Ultima Online*
*feels smug*
*Releases his own Ultima Online with blackjack and hookers*

We just went through this with Shroud.

Come on you're trusting a guy that was friends with Ghislane Maxwell and who's wife is basically a deepstate glowy. I wouldn't trust him at all, at least EA is playing the sleeping giant game, just leave em alone and no one gets hurt. Garriot to me is the type to do shit just out of spite.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Yeah, RG should have fulfilled the Shroud game to completion and promises. Nope, I'd rather real enthusiasts bought the entire Ultima IP.

Can you clarify what you mean by this? I wanna know all the juicy drama

 

[kaisergeddon]

If a video game could be a lolcow, Shroud is an entire planet occupied by individual ones. It's all but impossible to summarize that tragicomedy, but the Codex has a thread on it already that can get you up to speed.

Gist of it is, he rug pulled the whole thing. Its never got finished, he bailed and took the money.

Interplay published BG, but the devs were Bioware. OG Bioware and Interplay were pretty tight, they even licensed the Infinity Engine for Planescape.

Fallout was Interplay/Proto-Black Isle, Black Isle was Interplay's RPG Division made after the release of Fallout.

I did update my SOTA game file. I mean, just as well keep it fresh. My rando alt on the offline is still kicking .... at the very beginning. Stupid DUDE! That is what I call all my first try alts I'm not attached to.

Ok. Btw, which thread is the OFFICIAL Ultima Online thread? There are like two pages in the search engine all of varying quality.
