From here...
http://ir.netdragon.com/video/ultima.shtml
"Our new version of Ultima Online is a 3D MMORPG, based on the theme, characters and other content of EA’s Ultima Online™."
Nothing other than that on the official site.
From here...
http://www.massively.com/2009/07/22/ea-and-netdragon-to-make-a-new-ultima-online-for-china/
"However the new game sounds like it's being made for Asian audiences only -- not a brand new Ultima Online that will see a world wide release."
Particularly interested in the the first quote, that being the 3D part. Will certainly be interesting to see if players outside Asia will be able to access the game, though I don't see any particular reason why not.
Will also be interesting to see what the do with the core content and direction of the game. Will they follow the EQ levelling model, or the original UO sandbox model?
Interesting indeed.

You know, I used the 3D client exclusively for several years. People would ask me why all the time. What was actually happening was that - because of my slow connection or what, I don't know; I never heard of it happening to anybody else - I would frequently get a glitch where the spell effects would slow right down to about a sixth of their normal speed, so every time someone cast a spell, all the floating coloured light would take about five seconds to fade away completely. Because of that, the effects would overlay with each other if spells were cast in quick succession. So just somebody scripting Heal spells at the bank would cause this amazing glitch, like the characters were wielding an aurora borealis. It was incredible.
Like I said, I've never heard of it happening to anyone else, and of course doing events or hunting would then crash my computer because it couldn't cope with it. But when I switched to 2D, although just about everything else about the client was better, I really missed having my own personal lightshows.

I have to agree with Black Sun. He has the ugliest outfit of anyone in the game...hands down!

It's *supposed* to be ugly.
Same goes for tribal masks.
For both items they're less
"I'm a pretty, well dressed color coordinated fighter"
than
"Haha! you're gonna die!!!" *opponent flees in terror*

Not necessarily....
Mempo came in may styles from the Ryubu-bo which normally had a noble expression worked into it's design to the Ressei Men which normally displayed a savage violent expression. To say it's supposed to be ugly is a misconception drawn out thanks to Film industry.
As to Tribal masks, it really varied by culture, region, and useage. Some were hideous, other quite intricate in design, like this one for example

The classic clients paperdoll and the graphic animation for consecrate weapon,and in ec the firesteeds.

... allow me to rephrase more clearly.
The mask that was designed to look ugly is supposed to look ugly.
However, it doesn't follow that every mask in the world is designed to look ugly.
Which is why deer masks and bear masks also don't look ugly.
That's a matter of personal opinion...... Personally I hate the deer masks...
Underwear..... Ugly no matter what client your in... I always hated the underwear in the old 3d client... and I see they brought that craptastic garbage to the EC...... I don't want and NEVER did want brown underwear.... and boxers really??? No......

Malag, you just want to have your characters go "commando".... 
Every time I see the deer mask, I think of that old Warner Brothers cartoon with the "Hunting suit for the Mother-in-law", where when she pulls up the hood, it has antlers.....

Man, what a downer thread *sad face*
I love Slasher in both 2d and EC. I keep wanting him to break out into some thriller dance moves though with the way his hands are raised. *grins*

That'd be a fun thread! "What are your favourite monster designs?"
Mine would have to be the Ancient Wyrm and the new dragons - Crimsons and Platinums are gorgeous, and the first time I saw a Stygian I almost had a heart attack - as well as chicken lizards and vollems (d'awww), skrees (d'awww!) and Monstrous Interred Grizzles (eww!) I also really like ki-rins.
Does anybody remember the 3D client fire steeds and nightmares? They were beautiful. The nightmares looked like demonic Clydesdales.

My favorite monster designs (in no real order):
- Dragons and WWs
- Liches (still get a chill from that laugh)
- Demons
- Giant Spiders (being a bit of an arachnophobia, and give the relative size to real spider on screen, these still give me a little bit of the creeps)
- Lizardmen
- Rune Beetles
- Pretty much all of the elementals
(these are all in the CC btw)
My least favorite monster designs:
- Anything Todd McFarlane...UO doesn't need robots
- Any of the creatures they brought over from Third Dawn and tried to pass them off as "new" art (thank got they finally fixed some of those abominations)
- Pretty much any of the creatures in the EC.

You know, I never quite understood the anti McFarlane sentiment. Exodus is half machine. And the Ultima games has a space ship in it. It's really not out of place for Ultima. Although it is very overdone, and my taste does lie in fantasy, not sci-fi. So I understand the feeling against it. Just sayin'.
nice nice

Yes I would prefer that.... but since I have to have something I'd much rather have the 2d diaper to the EC brown boxers.
I'd prefer just a loincloth...
Ah..... but thinking of all this makes me sad because I miss the way you could rotate your character around in the 3d client....
And I miss all the actions you could do in the 3d client...

As a naked female in the EC you at least get lacey under garments . Where is the silky thong for my male toons? .

Exception to Molochs, whose abilities are inferior to their graphics
Golems aren't too bad either. (though not particularly good...)
Then again how hard is it to draw a hunk of metal?

My vote is for the Charger (Donkey) of the Fallen or that bird nest we got from the last Spring turn in.
Are you talking about the Nest With Eggs?
Because if so, that item is totally adorable in my deco.
