Yes it still happens occasionally.

The time the next one will happen has not been announced yet.

Don't be such a cheapskate! It's well worth the $10 (£10) a month and if you played before then you probably know this already.
It's only $10/mo if you're paying 6mo at a time, before taxes, which someone who just wants a quick fix is probably not going to do.

They can say what they like. I and a few others now know the truth.
There won't be another RtB as the game will be F2P once Steam is agreed with EA.

Deny it all you like, we'll see who's right come the end of the year. ;)

By the end of the year? I'll take that action.

Name your price.

As far as the OP is concerned though... trial account it up if you need a quick nostalgia fix. If you want to actually play... well 15 dollars isnt that bad considering its a month long.

or you can go to my facebook and look at the endless pictures i have on their for free..... oooooo pictures. :)

Hey diddums, did you see the post I was replying to? I know it's really really hard to read words that come after words, but here, let me put it there again for you. Try harder this time, champ! I believe in you!

And then I replied referencing the different rates for different lengths of subscription time

Now if you could take a walk until you understand context, that'd be great.

I put up my entire account that's on hold now, all 14.7 Platimum worth.
I'm not paying anything more to play a subpar version of UO anymore, this game now is an embarrassment to an "official" server.
Almost ALL free servers now put this paid subscription version to shame.

You can all continue to pay monthly wages for people that are doing nothing but slowly killing UO, I will not.
Take EA to court for full ownership of UO or for Christ sake kill the game and put us out of our misery, were only here still because we have so many years invested we cannot walk away.
Do the decent thing and kill it for us.

Broadsword are basically your street corner drug dealer, charging you too much for your fix of crap.

lol, @Aran with your arrogance there is never a dull moment.

quite simply put. @DJAd is on the European continent... meaning it may be 10 euros not dollars for him to play for a month even with out buying a 6month GTC....

Even if you dont buy that... get it "buy" that... with exchange rates it might still be 10 euros to the american 13.99 dollars.

Further more UO.com is the american website... other countries often have to deal with other websites to buy things. for instance the asian website provided the singing balls and secret chests, while the american website didnt.

Okay, so to get this straight you're throwing up 14.7 platinum that UO will go free to play by the end of the year?

To be clear this means by the end of the year we will be able to log in without paying.

I'm down.

No more RtB.....
:rolleyes:
On the contrary, RtB should be yearly, Sept. 15th to Oct 15th. With plenty of advertising on uo.com, origin.com, massively, etc.

This would give returning players a bit of anniversary pomp as well as a taste of any Halloween content (which should start on Oct. 1 like clockwork). We want them to get excited and resub, remember?

Or would you rather UO continue on the slow slide to unprofitability and certain cancellation?

RTB, when it happens, is usually in September to coincide with the birthday.
I put the price in context by comparing a month of UO, as many hours as you like, to a trip to the cinema, lasting just a couple of hours.
OMG you can still go see a movie for less than a UO 1 mo. sub, where do you live?

Then please do us all a favor and cancel/delete all your UO Accounts and have Stratics delete your stratics account while you are at it. Why do you even post, oh yea that is right you just like to stir up ****.

What a 100 percent depressive nonsense. Phew, I pity you. Cannot imagine how it feels like to be so negative. I still love playing UO and I always did. And I never asked what Broadsword or anyone else was doing for the game as it was always up to us to decide, what WE WILL DO WITH IT?

If you didn't get that til now, you really didn't understand the magic of UO...

Because I have as much right as you to comment on a game I have invested 15 years worth of subs into.

Ok @Slayvite and @OREOGL

Both of you hand me over your 14.7 Platinum and I will manage it until we get to the end of the year and determine who the winner of this official wager is.

I am sure you both would want a third party broker to handle this kind of a challenge. Icq is the best way to get a hold of me and I will post to confirm I have each of your amounts.

Both of you are the type that puts your platinum where your mouth is.

I can't wait to see how this turns out! On a side note, I am curious as to which one, if either, is crapping in their pants, because their bluff was called in front of all of Stratics. :)

Ummm I actually play UO because I enjoy it, if I did not I would not have been playing since the start of time and continued to this point. Does UO have problems sure it does, but it also has a massive amount of content that can be revisited time and again and never become boring. Seems to me if you get bored in UO it is your own fault.

Nice gold sink! 14.7 bil less in game!

Btw my feeling is that the game is in a much better state population wise than last year thanks to the "expansion". If the devs keep working hard uo isnt going anywhere!

If by some miracle they find some way to update the graphs the game will flourish again!
