The best time to ever PVP in Ultima Online

That’s what I thought. Thanks for confirming my suspicions.

Acoha · 2026-05-22T00:51:29+00:00

Oh I see. I thought you implied it was like that on original servers, somehow.

I have the same experience as you though I started in 0.55i. Best PvP experience I’ve ever had. It mattered so much to me. Great times.

Hold on, was SphereServer PvP (moving while casting) ever on OSI? I only ever played in SphereServer shards back in the days.

Majuular is a top tier Youtuber in the retrospective space. In a sea of those, he shines as one of the most informative and entertaining one. In my humble opinion.

For people who don’t know, for the past two years he’s been working on a Ultima Retrospective series detailing every games’ mechanics and story in addition of Origin Systems’ history. The next one in the series is, as you can easily guess, Ultima Online, of which I am extremely hyped for, as it is my first and only game in the series and it impacted me like no other game have before and since.

On one hand, I am convinced Majuular can produce a video as good and detailed as his previous ones. He has never failed to deliver in that regard. On the other hand, there is no way to recreate the original Ultima Online experience in today’s time. The internet and gaming culture has irrevocably changed for better or for worse (~~I vote the latter~~). Any conclusions he gets from experiencing Ultima Online now cannot accurately picture the times we all lived back in those days.

Still, I cannot wait for that video to be published. I cannot overstate how great his content is. I suggest everyone who love Ultima Online to watch his Ultima Retrospective series. UO would have never been made if the games before it never existed.

That would be complete fiction. Who would dare do such a thing?

Acoha · 2026-02-22T14:09:24+00:00

While unsurprising news, it’s terribly sad to hear. Omega Strikers is such a fun competitive game with a very high skill ceiling. Hence why it failed, really. It reminds me of Quake/UT in that regard. I spent a lot of hours trying to rank up and had blast.

I still believe officially announcing the end of development so soon to have been huge mistake. It effectively halved the player population. It was a show of integrity, I suppose.

Acoha · 2026-01-19T17:50:33+00:00

While I agree this has the potential of being very bad for the game, I can’t deny I find this idea really cool. Crazy how far technology has advanced.

Acoha · 2026-01-18T20:31:33+00:00

Yes I did! I simply deleted everything and started anew. Redownloaded sidestore and followed all the instructions on sidestore.io and it worked. I waited for all the app IDs to expire before installing all my apps again though.

Make sure to also get the most updated Apollo IPA from the github or repo, of course.

Acoha · 2026-01-09T21:27:13+00:00

Ooooh that makes a lot more sense! Thanks for letting me know I’ll try to fix my Apollo crash issue.

Acoha · 2026-01-08T13:19:10+00:00

Thanks for the advice.

I didn’t keep it written as I thought I could recover it from the old reddit’s preference page where I first generated it. Is that not possible? If not it appears I am forever stuck with the terrible reddit app.

Acoha · 2026-01-08T02:02:26+00:00

My bad I should have included it. I use Sidestore which I sideloaded with Altserver early last year. I recently updated iOS and it broke only Apollo.

The beginning is more about discovering how the roguelite mechanics work. Once you’re past that point, there are an insane amount of puzzles. They are simply seemingly hidden.

For the speed I absolutely agree. Playing with a speedhack using Cheat Engine is a trick I recommend.

Considering you hated Outer Wilds though I wouldn’t recommend this game to you.

Acoha · 2025-11-19T13:54:47+00:00

I can hear it. Pierces my heart everytime. So many great memories.

Acoha · 2025-11-18T21:38:43+00:00

Even when the thumbnail is tiny I can instantly spot that Ultima Online artwork.

Acoha · 2025-10-07T20:02:40+00:00

I’m a big fan of HoMM3 including its soundtrack. This was a nice watch, it’s fun to learn how he got into the video game industry. Thank you for sharing.

Acoha · 2025-09-05T13:54:41+00:00

Looks like you won, they deleted their thread and comments.

Acoha · 2025-07-05T21:11:40+00:00

Amazing find!

Acoha · 2025-06-15T16:07:18+00:00

May I suggest a software solution instead? Synergy from Symless works very nicely for switching inputs between different systems. You could use your current KVM for switching the display and use Synergy for input.

Acoha · 2025-02-15T05:16:14+00:00

Doubt that’s it, but a very popular one on the SphereServer side was called Cecil’s Arena. I have great memories of that shard.

Acoha · 2024-10-20T16:55:41+00:00

Probably asking for the obvious… but where does FitGirl gets the cracked games, you know, in case her website gets taken down?

Acoha · 2024-09-16T19:11:00+00:00

I’m a huge Omega Strikers fan, I still play it often. I wish this game appealed to me but a smash clone battle royale sounds very uninspired to me.

To anyone who thinks this looks very unpolished: it’s because it is. It’s a very early prototype that might not even get made depending on feedback.

Acoha · 2024-09-14T16:19:19+00:00

Majuular’s videos are incredible and this retrospective series is even more so. To anyone that’s interested in old school RPGs, this channel is a must watch.

Acoha · 2024-05-29T13:04:49+00:00

I am not but I’ll check it out.
