As I wondered though the Graveyard at Britain and into the mining cave north of Britain, I have to say I got quite emotional to see the game so deserted and re-living so many memories from such a long time ago. Seeing as such a long period of time has passed and the tendency has been going away from Sandbox FFA full loot virtual worlds, I am beginning to doubt I will ever experience such a thing again. RIP UO. If I won the euro lottery I know which type of game I would create and let it be F2P.

With so many gamers agreeing why do developers continue to make Care Bear games? I agree with MANY of the posts that UO is quite simply (pretrammel) the best MMORPG ever created.

Why is this such a memorable event. Someone should re-write the events so they aren't so bias. Leeroy Jenkins was scripted. Why is this such a memorable event.

I've played EQ, WoW, UO, SWG, AoC, PotCO, AC, Eve, and many others and I have to say UO and SWG were the kings of their respective universes, there is nothing better in either fantasy or science fiction, even though Eve Online has to get huge props for being so awesome, you can't get a lightsaber and that's what made SWG so great before they screwed it with the CU and then the NGE and totally ruined that game. UO should have stopped before they put all the different elemental damages on weapons and just stuck with ruin, might, force, power, vanquishing modifiers with some spells like it had to begin with, they tried to copy SWG's system with that and it doesn't work too well, and then SWG just threw it ALL out the window and messed the whole game up. RIP to old UO and SWG, I will always have fond memories :D I have to agree about UO being one of the best ever, that game and Star Wars Galaxies both took a huge amount of my attention, and I loved playing them both.

As many before me have already stated, the game was the "wild wild west," wherein anything went. Nothing will ever compare to that game, and every time I look at screenshots of that game or talk with someone else who played it, it makes me realize how far superior that Ultima Online was to anything and everything else. I spent COUNTLESS hours at the Crossroads killing people, it was quite simply the perfect game. And as others have pointed out, the game was bought out and ruined. RIP UO, RIP.

On 6/6/06 in Runescape a player that went the first 99 construction party and found a glitch in the pvp dungeon. Some how he did something, then used the house portal to teleport to Fallador, and it teleported everyone there. That wouldn't usually be bad but he kept the ability to attack players, but they couldn't attack them back. So while he went around a Fallador fulled to the brim of people, he wouldn't just chop them up and take the rewards. The event lasted over and hour and it worked its way out of Fallador and to Edgeville. In all the excitement he forgot to store his items he got. He got perm banned but nobody got their billions and billions of gold in items back. What about the Fallador Massacre?
