Correct. UO Received a Steam Greenlight but was never actually released on Steam.nice!
Although this : "Thanks to its Steam release and a healthy update, Kingdom Reborn, the title has managed to stay relevant despite its age."
UO isnt on steam, correct? And the kingdom reborn was never finalized - and was scrapped for the EC... ?
Its a bit unfortunate that this is mentioned in a post like this then - if people suddenly go looking for UO on steam, and then think it has closed down when they dont find it there.Correct. UO Received a Steam Greenlight but was never actually released on Steam.
That might change with the release of endless journey. Emphasis on "might" though...Would be nice to be on steam though
Someone let me mess with a WOW account for 3 months, I hated the gameWhat is even funnier is that WOW is listed as #4
Doubt it will change, EA has been pretty adamant about not having their IPs on Steam since they want to drive as much traffic to Origin as possible. Even though Origin is inferior in almost every way...Asheron's Call 1 & 2 Servers have been turned off as per 31st January.
So that's one down and six to go

Please don't remind me I think, Mass Effect 3 & Dead Space 3 were one of their first Origin-exclusive games. Since I played parts 1 & 2 of both IPs, they forced me to play on Origin, because I didn't want to miss out on part 3. Origin was even worse in the early days. Horrible...Doubt it will change, EA has been pretty adamant about not having their IPs on Steam since they want to drive as much traffic to Origin as possible.

It was around the same time that EA decided against letting more IPs on Steam. Might be that the Greenlight campaign started, but EA's decision was made so nothing could go forward.Please don't remind me I think, Mass Effect 3 & Dead Space 3 were one of their first Origin-exclusive games.

Anyways, back to UO. I know, that the changes are less than slim. But just wondering why they went to Steam Greenlight in the first place. Was this without EA's permission?
They really made this decision that late?It was around the same time that EA decided against letting more IPs on Steam. Might be that the Greenlight campaign started, but EA's decision was made so nothing could go forward.
thats not what Guinness Book of World Records says.The Oldest MMO that is still played today is The Realm Online. The game was launched in 1996. The game is ran by Norseman Games.
Tibia is another MMO that was launched in January of 1997. The game is still played today.
I'd say UO is the most recognizable game, but not the oldest.
And now Greenlight is being discontinued.Correct. UO Received a Steam Greenlight but was never actually released on Steam.

I thought everybody said it was EA/BS/UO that asked UO to be Greenlite, that says it is the Steam/Greenlight customers by voting on what goes on Steam.It will be interesting to see how this works out. The failed experiment in consumers picking the games that get onto Steam that Greenlight is cannot be replaced soon enough
erm kingdom reborn was a add on and was released heres a hard copy image of the boxnice!

I played that!! Character creation was amazing for it's time, it was the bugs that stopped me from playing and also terrible lag in player towns.And not one mention about Istaria (Horizons) that was released in December 2003 and still going today with a graphics engine upgrade underway.
Istaria is the BEST crafting MMORPG and has playable Dragons!
oh my bad - I thought kingdom reborn was that client that they started developing and then later scrapped for the ECerm kingdom reborn was a add on and was released heres a hard copy image of the box
You should look at it again, a huge number of bugs have finally been fixed and you can even run thru Tazoon now with zero lag. It's still my goto game when all else bores meI played that!!

It was a client upgrade that never made it to public live shards.oh my bad - I thought kingdom reborn was that client that they started developing and then later scrapped for the EC
Steam user do vote for what gets a Greenlight, bur Broadsword actually started the campaginI thought everybody said it was EA/BS/UO that asked UO to be Greenlite, that says it is the Steam/Greenlight customers by voting on what goes on Steam.
Thanks for that!You should look at it again, a huge number of bugs have finally been fixed and you can even run thru Tazoon now with zero lag. It's still my goto game when all else bores me
The EC client is basically KR but rebuilt and renamed. They renamed it because KR had such bad reviews when it was released as it was so buggy and wasn't finished. Once they finally fixed it up a bit and rebuilt a lot of the client they dumped the name Kingdom Reborn and called it the Stygian Abyss client. It was eventually renamed again to the Enhanced Client. It's also colloquially known as the Speed Hack client because PvPers who can't compete in real UO (2D/CC) will often use it as a crutch due to the movement speed difference and the way chars bounce around obstacles.oh my bad - I thought kingdom reborn was that client that they started developing and then later scrapped for the EC
