I have played ultima on and off for 20 years and recently I am on the "off" part of Ultima. I've been trying a game in beta that has caught my interest.
1) mobs only drop silver mostly, some drop materials used for crafting. So no searching through piles of loot trying to find the perfect stat armor weapon, jewelry etc... some people might enjoy that though.
2) all armor and weapons are player crafted. See point #1
3) you can buy shops needed to craft weapons and armor and charge people to use them. so the big citys are actually player owned shops.
4) There's areas where anyone can kill anyone and take ALL their stuff, even their horse.
5) The better resources can only be found in the more dangerous zone. so like felluca but people HAVE to go there eventually for the materials needed to craft better gear.
6) theres guild wars where you can actually take their territory.
7) there's only one shard, I always though ultima should consolidate shards but because of housing that cant happen.
So far the game is just what I was looking for, crafting, resource gathering, pve, pvp, gvg, and pks. It has a nice mix of pvp and crafting.
The only reason i'm posting this here is I have played Ultima online for many years and this game seems like something someone from ultima background would like. I don't think i can promote the game here but if your interested pm me.
