Stratics was one of the most popular and long-running fan sites dedicated to Ultima Online (UO), the groundbreaking MMORPG developed by Origin Systems and later managed by Electronic Arts (EA). Overview of Stratics for Ultima Online History & Purpose - Stratics began in the late 1990s as a comprehensive resource for Ultima Online players, offering guides, forums, news, and community discussions. - It expanded to cover other games but remained a hub for UO fans for decades. Key Features - Guides & Databases: Detailed info on skills, items, dungeons, PvP tactics, and roleplaying. - Forums: Active player discussions on servers (like Atlantic, Great Lakes), gameplay strategies, and guild recruitment. - Shard (Server) Info: Updates on official and free shards (player-run servers). - Tools & Maps: Interactive maps, calculators (e.g., skill gain, resource tracking), and crafting guides. Decline & Legacy - Stratics faced challenges over time, including ownership changes, forum spam, and competition from sites like UO Forums and Discord. - Parts of the site became outdated, but archives remain valuable for historical UO content. Alternatives Today - UO Official Forums (EAs current hub) - UO-Cah (private server community) - UO Guide (wiki-style resource) - Discord: Many UO shards and guilds use Discord for real-time communication. Is Stratics Still Active? As of 2024, Stratics' UO section is largely archival, but some forums may still see occasional activity. The sites golden era was in the early 2000s, but it remains a nostalgic touchstone for veteran players. Would you like help finding specific UO resources (e.g., skill guides, shard recommendations)?

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.
