Every day, multiple times, ORIGIN wants to do long updates etc. Why? Just now I turned on my computer and I hit X at least four times as it kept trying. That and the constant emails from long complex senders are enough to make me want to get out the old "WayBack Machine". Harrumph!

I do not think it is ORIGIN, if it was I think you would see more people on here asking about it. I have ORIGIN installed and it has NEVER wanted to do an update. Did the E-Mails start when the ORIGIN problem started? It might be time to scan and clean you computer.

Thanks MeltedMantis (scary name) and Frodo, but....do I really need Origin to play UO.... When I needed the Origin store I got in somehow... I'm not buying any more games. I have several but I'm too addicted to UO to actually play them. None of them are EA or Origin games. Things like "Planescape: Torment" and "Civilization 5." I also do paintings and read several books a week in real life. I actually don't remember an Origin problem. I am quite old, lets say 39...

You do not need ORIGIN to play UO but it is one of two ways to open the ORIGIN store to buy UO stuff

I would still run a scan on your computer because it does not sound right.
