Way Back Machine

Somebody was talking about this web site wayback.com on LS. They were talking about something else but I decided to look up UO.

This is the oldest Web archive that was saved from UO. ORIGIN - Ultima Online

Many of the links work. There are notes from developers and producer letter.

Look at the armor, weapons, and monster pages. Things have changed a lot.

The screenshots page is a hoot...

Wish I could play that game. It looks awesome.

What cracks me up the thread at the top of UOHall "Problems with Freezing During Gameplay..." 17 years later still one of the #1 problems.

yes way back when machine is the best resource tool for research, uo or otherwise, there's even a firefox add on for it when you come across a page of interest you click the button to preserve it forever. and you can look at that page at various dates if it's been archived before, which it probably has.

The forums were booming back then. There were many new posts per day about different things. The Stratics Staff was huge.

Yeah... the early days of Stratics was one of the most unique website cultures I've ever seen. Every little sub-forum had an entire page of new threads daily. It was truly the glory days of Stratics, UO, and the internet in general.
