Ultima Online (UO) is a groundbreaking massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) developed by Origin Systems and released in 1997. It is considered one of the first successful MMORPGs and set many standards for the genre. Key Features of Ultima Online: Open World & Sandbox Gameplay - Players could explore the vast fantasy world of Britannia with minimal restrictions. - No strict class systemplayers could train skills through use (e.g., swordsmanship, magic, crafting). Player-Driven Economy - Crafting and trading were essential, with players able to become blacksmiths, tailors, alchemists, etc. - Housing allowed players to own and decorate their own homes. PvP & Full Loot - Open PvP was allowed in most areas, with consequences for criminal acts (e.g., becoming a murderer). - Players could loot almost everything from defeated foes. Persistent World & Roleplaying - The world continued evolving even when players logged off. - Many players engaged in deep roleplaying, guild wars, and politics. Influence on MMORPGs - UO inspired later games like EVE Online, RuneScape, and Albion Online. - Introduced concepts like housing, open-world PvP, and skill-based progression. Current Status: Official Servers: Still running under Broadsword Online Games (latest expansion: New Legacy in 2021). Free Shards (Private Servers): Many fan-run servers exist, such as UO Outlands (a popular custom ruleset). Legacy: Remains a cult classic with a dedicated player base.

The War Within brings so much fresh content to WoW. The new zones are absolutely stunning and the storyline is engaging. Been playing for 15 years and this expansion reignited my passion for the game.
The new raid content is fantastic with challenging mechanics. However, there are still some bugs that need to be ironed out. Overall a solid expansion that keeps me coming back for more.
