This is what I always envisioned UO 2 becoming. Take this game and implement UO's history would be a WIN WIN WIN

Hail Guest! Please read the new announcement concerning the upcoming addition to Stratics. You can find the announcement Here!
Can you put things on the ground in that game?
Such a simple thing and most games don't have it.
There are other games in development that might replace the UO itch.

This seems pretty close to the older UO which to me was the best UO.
Wild Terra Online, an open world medieval MMORPG that draws inspiration from Ultima Online, presents its new gameplay trailer.
What is "Wild Terra"?
Wild Terra is a massive online multiplayer life simulator in a medieval setting with a fully player-driven economy. Here everyone will find an activity that appeals to oneself: exploring the world, hunting, crafting, building, fighting, etc. There are no NPCs in the game; therefore, the only way to get something is to create it by yourself or buy it from other players... or take it with brutal force. However we understand that not every one have enough time to "live" in the game doing everything by themselves that is why all game processes are expedited to make the game a little bit easier.
We can say this about your character progress as well. It is very boring to level up your character to XX-level just to get a good sword and start to fight. There will be levels however, but they will only grant you small additional benefits in combat, not total domination.

Eh, I don't see it. Just seems like another Korean MMO to me. I mean it's not even skill based, and the classes are gender specific, which is stupid. Like a prettier, but less cool archeage.
How people see this as the next step in uo style gameplay (its not) and not something like Shards is beyond me.
Yeah the graphics are insane for a non loading MMO. The combat system is interesting and it has pvp.
I am also interested in this game

It is some of the old UO leads, Skill Based, Player Housing,taming and pretty much a revamped Ultima Online
I am not sure of the backing though or interest for the road ahead
I just backed this only yesterday after keep an eye on the development. I can't wait!
I also backed shroud of the avatar but now I'm more excited for shards online.
Hey @Logrus got any shards promo codes going?
What game is like UO , move characters with the mouse like UO ? No Pvp areas like UO and no taking of stuff by brutal force like the one mentioned above? Houses like UO? I just do not think such a game exists, except UO. If it does please tell me.
ironic how alot of these games have a uo feel in some manner.
@Cyrah that would be Shards. I'd recommend waiting for a later build solely because it's still in Pre-Alpha and it would disappoint people who expect a complete game. It's still far from being feature complete, but it's very much Ultima, from a gameplay perspective and atmosphere.
(Pledging isn't that expensive though)
That's also why I'm playing UO at the moment

I can say from being a beta tester that its far from boring, and also has 3 expansions ready to go which treble the size of the game.
And how many MMo's do you know that even allow you to do Investment banking.
I highly recommend trying this, not many games I beta test that actually make me stop and say "whoa, that's new".
Two things that are major selling points for the Shards Online.

That alone tells the story. As a player, and knows what they like or dislike, they have the option or lets say choice to play and choose the game they prefer how to play. So all they want to do is PvM and no worries of PK's ever they have that option. You all hardcore about your leet keyboard smashing abilities and want to rekt people then go to an all hardcore shard. Then the ultimate in game killings is a perma death shard. Have to have all glory and expect no less if you have that choice. Rekt or be rekt.
This is very very very important. You but the game and can play the game with no costs. Now unless you go step farther and want to run your own server hosted by them then only do you pay to cover costs. The big point is there is really no subscription. Seems some of the former UO devs were listening here on Stratics and the MMO market in general.

I just got done playing the 2nd beta for Black Desert and it is interesting, but I think eventually it will be thrown on the heap with all the other MMORPG's that did not succeed
aka the list of "next gen/wow killers".
I agree! this game has me hooked even though it is way early! I got guard whacked in my first 15 mins!! Ah the good ole days :>)
Exactly.
It may not be an MMO, but I am working on a UO-inspired game for those who enjoy dueling. Mage Duels.
Ahh, the Donald Trump response.
Shards Online is the only one that interests me at the moment. I can't bring myself to muster any enthusiasm for a P2W game, or for Garriott's latest "It's not Ultima...No, I swear! *wink, wink, nudge, nudge*" disingenuous, not-even-a-real-MMO cash-grab.

it is if you want to Wear the best and have the best, but if you just want to play the game and have some fun you don't have to spend all dem Benjamins.
Your own.I love the idea of shards..except what shard do I pick

Yeah except I don't have the time or patience any more to "create" I'm more interested in my old age just playing when I get time.Your own.

I'll just play on something that looks fun. There's already a lot of shards with their unique scripts and it's only pre-alpha. Some have their own crafting system with more skills, sorts of ore and stuff. Some are roleplay oriented with an emphasis on narration and storyline.
What makes me curious is the changing dungeon they're working on at the moment.

Personally, I've been keeping my eyes on Shards Online and Albion Online. SotA looks interesting as a "distant relative" of UO, but it is not a spiritual successor by definition. I think Shards Online is making the biggest effort to become a spiritual successor, not just for us, but also for all the fans who've left for player-run shards (probably a smart business decision). And being able to build and shape your own world for other players definitely sounds like a sandbox experience.
Albion Online doesn't get much attention around Stratics, which kind of surprises me. It looks like UO's slimmer and sleeker offspring (and maybe funner, but we'll see). Aside from a humongous skill system that dwarfs UO's, it doesn't otherwise appear to be aiming for UO's abundance of complex systems and mechanics. I kind of like UO's abundance of complex systems and mechanics though. Then again, that's something that happened to UO over the course of many years.
Here's a gameplay trailer for Albion Online.

And then, of course, I still play Linkrealms, my UO away from UO. One of the coolest things about Linkrealms is that you don't just pay for a house; you pay for a big-ass plot of land that you can build whatever you want on. Pretty damn sandboxy.
Shards Online is still in a Pre-Alpha stage, so nothing is finalized. Since users can literally create their own shards, complete with rule changes, different AI, custom crafting, their own plotlines, etc...and these appear to run on their home machines... yes, I'd say some shards may vanish or be less available than someone might like. Who knows though, once the game goes live Citadel might have a shard hosting package available.
I was looking forward to Black Desert tho...
But then yesterday they posted pics of some gear...and i had the impression that black desert is going to be yet an other heavily asian influenced game...that's game nr 10.001 now
Someone posted this a few months ago : Linkrealms | Old-school Sandbox MMORPG
This game seems to be a more enhanced version of Ultima Online.
