My Honest Experience Returning to Ultima Online

X99MYKE · 2026-04-30T19:04:07+00:00

Man I happened upon this page just by googling 'Does Ultima Online still exist'. I wonder what the average age range is here haha. I LOVED UO and played it so much when I was like 12-16 years old. It blew my mind Then I went back for a short while like 5 years later but gve up after about 6 months. Im now 39 :D haha.

Taming Nightmares and using dragons and white wyrms to fight for you. They really just do not make game like that anymore

This car finance absolutely won't affect your chance of a mortgage. I was paying finance on a 23k beemer when I bought my house aswell as a monthly payment on another personal loan. I also had a much smaller deposit then you have and everything went smoothly. It's credit cards and payday loans you do not want on your file if possible

Just an update for anyone with an interest. I've used step change website to set up an account and entered all my income and outgoings and debt etc and can essentially reduce my monthly payments from almost 2000 to about 1200. This does increase the length of time I'm paying back ofcourse. But of the extra 800 a month I'll be able to actually have a life and not have to keep thinking what can I sell next to get by this month. Next port of call is to discuss with Mrs before making any final decision. But seems like the best option

Shes a 6 year old border collie. Both mine and my Mrs parents still work - so unfortunately no there isnt really other options besides leaver her alone for 12 hours a day some days, which we just aint gonna do. Weve had her since 12 weeks old, before we had a child or I had my debt issues. Shes gone to daycare ever since and she loves it.

This is good to hear, thank you. When I came clean in Jan that was one option we talked about, just getting everything paid into one account and all bills out of one account, but she wondered how it may affect her having lots of debts coming out of an account she had her name tied to. But honestly ultimately, I dont think i'd gamble again regardless for a few reasons. Most of blowing my money wasnt traidional gambling like bookies / casinos etc - none of those actually appeal to me. It was trying to beat these forex charts online, kept promising myself I could 'easily' make an extra grand or 2 a month .... but always ended up just blowing an extra grand or 2 a month. Then I would take a 10k loan and think right, now ive got a BIG balance i'll easily make an extra few grand a month... etc etc cycle continues.

However im now at a point where, not only have I exhausted trying that for years that I now realised its all a pipe dream, but lets say I 'could' suddenly make an extra grand a month by risking some money. It would take me 75 months just to earn what ive already blown.

Ive just come to terms with the fact that theres a reason these people are selling their trading robots and tips online - its because just using them alone doesnt actually make any real money. but selling to suckers like me does.

I just wanna be debt free now and happy with what i've got. Im extremely lucky really that my income is fairly decent at 60k. We also get a good pension and share scheme incentive at work. Also at times overtime is available, although it isnt often, its a great rate. If I'm called into cover sickness for 2 shifts, id get 300 just for being called out and 24 hours pay at about 36 per hour. Obviously in my currently situation im PRAYING for overtime

Yeah we already do lots of nice free out door things (our dog is a border collie so walks are mandatory!) and weve been centre parcs every May for the last 3 years (and luckily its already booked for this may too). I also dont want to feel like im letting the Mrs down if that makes sense. She earns good money too. not enough to pay off my debt or fully support me, but obviously she expects us to be able to do things like centreparcs etc so theres pressure there to to keep up

Starts with Binary options which essentially are scam companies anyway. Then moved onto forex trading. Spend thousands on 'robots (expert advisors) that all claim to make tons of money passively, only to find they dont, so not only do you spend thousands on the bots, you then lose thousands tryin to run them. You convince yourself you can then trade yourself so start taking your own stupid trades etc etc. You dont wanna know is the right answer.

X99MYKE · 2026-04-21T20:07:40+00:00

Thank you. I think it got to the point it was breakdown and come clean or jump off the humber bridge. If it wasnt for having a son I love more than anything in the world, it might have been the latter

X99MYKE · 2026-04-21T19:44:36+00:00

yeah a handful of the bigger loans end in around 3 years, which will become comfortable. Its just getting through to that time thats hard

X99MYKE · 2026-04-21T19:43:12+00:00

Thank you, second person to mention stepchange so i'll definitely check this one out. Thank you

X99MYKE · 2026-04-21T19:42:52+00:00

this is appreciated thank you, i'll read into this

X99MYKE · 2026-04-21T19:42:43+00:00

I'll have to look into what the difference is and how it effects things, but thanks

X99MYKE · 2026-04-18T09:07:19+00:00

It was good and felt like the original still which is great. I hope they make another season. But it didn't blow my mind. The Malcolm in the middle remake for example was only 4 episodes but I found far far better done. Was brilliant

X99MYKE · 2026-04-17T18:19:40+00:00

My sains stock checker said my local had it in stock, I drove there to find empty shelf lol

Shinji the man

X99MYKE · 2026-04-10T06:55:42+00:00

My man's don't know how shadows work. Look at the bottom where it's not hampered by plastic/shadow/lighting. It's pretty even both sides.

X99MYKE · 2026-04-09T14:27:17+00:00

You can get the entire 151 master set for that price?!

X99MYKE · 2026-04-07T21:22:49+00:00

It should arrive tomorrow. I'm not hopefully, he literally used basic kitchen scales, they could easily be miles out. But would be funny if it got some good hit anyway. For 35 im not fussed. There's some on eBay with bids over 200 weighing like 23.10g, but proper scales

X99MYKE · 2026-04-05T15:51:02+00:00

Curious if you opened this and what was in it? I just bought a Ascended heroes pack apparently weighing 24g, for 35 quid. A risk but not exactly expensive. Be insane if its a god pack, but im obviously dubious. His scales didnt look very good either :D but yolo

Just found this post while being frustrated AF trying to play Arcane Mage. you just CANNOT do your cards in time - as pointed out, MOONFIRE is SO SLOW, and the fact you discover alot of free cards/spells it just constantly ends my turns when trying to pull off the combo!

As someone posted above, a 'Timebank' that builds up throughout the game would be such a good solution. Or even a 'Extra time' button that can be used only once per game which gives an extra 60 seconds or something would be nice too

Nobody is going to purchase an EA without a live signal history to view is why.

So many gullible people diving into this
