was just sitting here and i noticed the date.

Sept 25.

that is the day that UO was released in 1997.

that makes it birthday day for UO!

Ultima Online's success resulted in Guinness World Records awarding the game 8 world records in the Guinness World Records: Gamer's Edition 2008. These records include "First MMORPG to Reach 100,000 Players", "Longest Running MMORPG",
the LONGEST running MMORPG.

happy birthday AND a congrats.

Happy Birthday UO and may you have many more. I just wish other people would realize what a great game you are even if you do look your age. I have always heard its not how you look that matters but what you have inside, and UO is the best.

Happy birthday, Ultima Online!

While I've only played 10 years and 9 months, it has been a lot of fun. UO really has grown into a world. What is the line from the original game intro? "Shattered into a hundred different worlds, each with its own people, history, and destiny."

Happy Birthday UO.

But I think it's the only birthday I remember that's not been marked in any way by EA. No cake in the bank box, not even a mention on the log in screen. I'm feeling a bit sad about that right now.

I know I thought we would at least get a cake. I was upset when I logged on and saw nothing.

I made a few boxes and engraved them with a cake and a new plant in them and laid them down at the bank lol.

Happy 11 Years, UO!!

My wife and I have played since August of 1997, and we still love the game!!

Like Petra, I too was a little saddened by the fact that even with the heads up on the boards by THP, and others, in the previous week or two, not even an acknowledgment of this milestone (every year for UO, at this point, is a big milestone, IMO) on the log in page.

But still, we have had years and years of fun, playing the longest running MMORPG in existence!!

:hug:

Eleven years ago today, Ultima Online was released to an unwitting public. Raise your glass in toast to the world we all love so much and all the hardy adventurers who bring it to life!

11 years?! Amazing! I remember where I was on this night 11 years ago...running through the Yew forest with my guildies that I had met during beta. There was just something exciting about it being "live".

Happy birthday Ultima Online! And thank you to Richard "Lord British" Garriott and all the folks who have shared his vision.

I was born a poor tailor on Magincia. It took almost a year before I could afford to start training in magic. That was 10 years, 10 months ago. Thank you to all those that have given me such wonderful adventures, from the Devs to the GMs to dear friends, some long gone from both worlds. *raises a glass of ale* Salute!

I'd raise my glass but I threw it away for fear of it being duped.

Happy B-day UO, but you (EA)don't deserve the loyalty that UO players have always shown you.
