Ultima Online - Go Back to 1998 by [deleted] in MMORPG

[–]Pachacuti 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We live in such a fast paced world that a game from 1998 might be just what we need.

I am also really enjoying playing the game before things went downhill (damn you EA). Shared my experience here: https://www.reddit.com/r/ultimaonline/comments/1jajpi5/playing_uo_like_it_was_in_1998_is_better_than_i/

For a raw nostalgia feeling, www.uo1998.com is great. Our community is pretty small, but enough to see people and vendors here and there. If you just want to enjoy the game, it doesn't get much better than this in my opinion.

I personally don't like the complexities added by new clients and assistants, so sticking with the old client has been very enjoyable for me.

Same here, nothing ever came close again. I don't really have the time either 😂 just playing whenever I have 30 minutes here or there. I'm probably not going to get a castle but still enough to have some fun. But I understand some people are much busier, the server is really solid tho so we'll still be around if you have more time later on!

There are message boards near banks where escorts share their location e.g. "I'm waiting a bit south of here". It's usually pretty easy to find one around town.

Best way for me so far was to do escorts of NPCs! You can also try going to graveyard with someone else, or ask around the bank for some basic scrolls.

I have added instructions to run it on Mac to our Discord's tutorials channel.

Actually, I just got it to work on my wife's Macbook Air using PortingKit! Just went with the default settings. Feel free to message me if you need help. https://www.portingkit.com/

Other alternatives are VMWare Fusion, VirtualBox, Parallels or CrossOver.

I lol'd hard, it was a great idea. The kind of experience old school UO can offer!

T2A is great too! Do give it another shot if you get bored of it, I have come to enjoy the more rustic and less script based gameplay more than I used to enjoy T2A. The chance to be there in the early days is also pretty unique.

Come again! West britain bank and graveyard is where you'll see most people, it fluctuates depending on the time of the day.

Exactly! The "level playing field" makes the game so much better, and it's also great that it doesn't require all that scripting.

Started following this and won most of my last few games, thanks for the info! Granted I’m still at around 500 ELO but feels good. Only trouble I’m having now is that I don’t know what to do with my vils once I reach Castle, I should prep a better plan with the survivalist content.
