UO Outlands is a free-to-play Ultima Online shard loosely set in the T2A era which launched in October of 2018. Our mission from the onset has been to create a version of Ultima Online which enhances every aspect of gameplay, creating a shard which we believe emulates how Ultima Online should have always been had it stayed the course.
Outlands is hosted professionally on a top of the line machine with redundant cloud backups and the fastest connection available to us. The server location has been chosen to allow players from across the globe to make UO Outlands their home, with low ping from the Americas, Europe, and parts of Asia.
What a brilliant video.
Excellent editing and knowledge of the mechanics of the game, combined with beautiful personal anecdotes, thank you for sharing your experience with us.
Thank you!!! Reach out to me if you find time to startup on Outlands :)
When are you giving UO a try Josh, come on now.
We need you to try UO!
Would love to see you cover UO: Outlands in a video. Long time fan of yours, glad you found massive success, well deserved Josh. Edit: I really thought your middle name was Strife, hopefully we can make that a reality when you hit your next goals!
Josh and Pwnstar in the same room. Yes!
I was one of the earliest players on UO. I went from being a 'noble' player hunting orcs and liches to a full-time PK camping the crossroads outside of Britain and raiding guilds. No games ever come close to the fun UO had offered. It is indeed the greatest game ever made.
vendor buy the bank more guards!
Xroads west of Brit! Hoo boy! I remember my first solid time being griefed right at border if that canyon, lol. It was the introduction you need in order to learn not to get too attached to your gear. Thankfully, the guy who managed to pile up about 7 of my corpses stealthing and waiting for me to return and try to madly scramble to click drag all my gear back into my bag took pity and just let me take it. Dude's name was Castillo, and I remember it to this day, haha.
I played some pretty decent free shards like 10 years ago that managed to recapture a lot of that magic, it was amazing. Definitely the greatest game of all time. No game has come close to the economy of UO either.
Same here man
PK for life! I played on Pacific and Atlantic back in 97-99. Greatest gaming memories ever!
just listening to UO music brings me back to such a good nostalgia, almost to tears (of joy). Thank you for this video
Thanks for watching ;p glad you enjoyed
The game will be celebrating it's 25th anniversary in September. Quarter century! Crazy to think about it being a part of so many people's lives for that long. Thanks for posting this and glad to see you're doing well.
:)
Man so many great memories with this game in Middle school. I remember one time our guild beheaded a GM who forgot to put their invulnerability on and we ran and hid in our castle only to be summoned by him in jail and having him go through our bags. There was a glitch at the time where if you dragged and held an item inside your bag nobody could see it. So the GM found nothing and we remained the only guild on the server who had a GM's head LOL! Good times
The wild west it was back then lol!!
@@Me-qp8vz lmao bro how are u going to call me a liar when u werent there…. The GM’s name was Slime and i was most likely on a different server than you. He wasnt reported either. Chill out dummy
Haha gangster
what server?
38 year old here, spent countless hours playing ultima 7 (generally just messing around killing anyone or anything in sight and not doing the actual story!)
Got so hyped when they launched Ultima Online, it certainly lived up to expectations! I was never much good at the game but I put the hours in and had a GM thief and a GM fisherman. It took ages but was so much fun fishing for messages in bottles! Those who know will know what I mean haha. Legendary game, thanks for the video. Glad people are still enjoying it.
Thanks for sharing 👍 😊
Yes Www.uooutlands.com/play is GROWING. I'm guessing they will be at 3k online at any given time by the end of the year.
They've been online going on 4 years now
@@PwnstarrGaming I maybe up for trying it out, i used to play UO Renaissance for a bit which was pretty cool. I'm very tempted to play, but I want to do it without scripting/macros. Is this a silly idea?
isometric style is good and stood up to time pretty well,, but this game UI is so shit that its completley unplayable.
skills are somekind of templates also and limited.
this game is entirely made for nostalgia people and pvp only tho, since u can basicly level urself up sittin in the spawn place lol..
if u never played this game and have no sentiomentality or attatchment to it... just stay away...
Ultima: Online and Old school RuneScape are such enduring games because they hit that great balance of grinding, story, and community. Both did such a good job setting up the game for people to build and do as much as they want.
totally agree, well said
UO, DAOC, EQ .. the three best MMOs of all time. I still play them on freeshards to this day.
Wtf u talking about! The endgame is decorating your house!
it's been over 20 years since I played UO. And I still think back on those days! You are right; there is still no game like this. if not for my marriage and family, I would gladly join and play this again. I'll check out your videos!
If you find time www.uooutlands.com/play
Not only the mmo but the greatest game ever made.
:) aye
I was a multi billionaire legend in that game! I quit playing back around 2009 I think. I am about to make a new account and get back in just to travel around, remember and show my sons where a lot of their game phrases came from. I know I will never catch up to the new things in the game enough to PVP like I use to but I will enjoy looking around and remembering. I will probably tear up a lot. The game was a HUGE part of my life. :-)
shared this video with my dad. we played this game everyday when i got done with school. hes always been my hero
I can relate. My father and me have been playing games together forever. He's my hero too ! Hell yeah man!
I just started back on wow. Having a blast. But nothing beats UO. The greatest game ever made
FURY WARRIOR OR BUST BABY!
If you haven't popped into Outlands, come give us a visit! There is plenty of time between raids each week. It'd be fun to see you!
Truth! Bro try the free shard UO:Forever ... its old school UO before Trammel was introduced and its booming! You'll love it trust me its been running strong for like 8 years now
@@kenowilliams5952 A lot of us came from there. Great times for sure. I had my house right near Minoc Stables where my Meta Dragon still probably sits. I was in Trin, then EQMS, then City over the years..Im glad to hear UOF is starting to grow again! You should make some content for it!
Time for a graphic upgrade but keeping all the same gameplay
Wow this brings back memories. I sunk countless hours into this game in my youth. I had a GM swordsman and fencer and almost mage (the price of regents killed me). So happy this game still lives on. That was 20 years ago..... time flies and I feel old now. Thanks for that lol.
Yes :) Glad you enjoyed it. If you find yourself wanting to play, be sure and check out www.uooutlands.com !
I played 20 years ago, right now I don't know if I could recover the account since I use a different email.
@@Skyrim973 outlands isn't tied to retail.
Its its own separate entity
@@PwnstarrGaming I pre ordered my Collectors edition before the game was officially released in 1997. I was a beta tester and frankly this is my favorite game I've ever played, to this day. Great Lakes!
I had a GM Blacksmith/Tinker. I made some awesome boobytraps.
Awesome video! Thank you!
Since the early 80s I've played 1000s of video games on all systems beginning on a VC20 to a Xbox Series X. I've played dozens of MMORPGs.
Ultima Online is - by far - the best game I ever played. In all these years no other game came even close. It is the game I've played for 25 years now and I will still be playing when I'm old.
respect!
Spent around 14 years of my life playing UO. Starting when i was 8 years old from Polish RP servers to American pvp servers like Defiance, Defiance is where i've learned english from 0 knowledge to being able to communicate with people. After 20 years i still talk on daily basics with people i met there, made tons of friends playing this game. Thank you for this video.
i used to sit at the duel pits on top of roofs and at the farm pits and duel 24/7... i wish i knew how to get a hold of people i used to duel all day just to say hello!
learned english? where are you from?
This made me so proud :D
And yes! There is no other game like UO! The adrenaline rush you get from PvP is no joke, I'm literally addicted to it :P
There are so many facets to the game, roles to play, sides to choose, goals to be achieved...
Whatever you may try to achieve, you will feel a sense of gratification like no other MMO out there.
And btw thanks for the content, as it helps grow the community. Well done!
Dude, I love your positivity. I also love your videos. I won't try to say hi to you though when I think you are hidden in a dungeon because I don't want to be squelched again.
You had almost the exact same experience as I did with Runescape, memorizing phone numbers and all! I learned of Ultima Online from a retrospective years ago, but when looking into it I thought it was something I had to purchase a subscription for, and for a game with such little players I didnt think it was worth it. However, now that I know that there is a free-to-play server with a relatively sizeable player base, I am 100% going to get into this game!
The late 90s or early 00s when I went into the computer store or a book store and picked up UO because of the back of the box. I know it had a subscription but I honestly think it had the first month or 3 months free to hook you and I think that's how I started...? The peak players in those days was 245,000 I just looked up! Sounds about right!
Ayyye Vesper was my stomping grounds on Sonoma back in 1998. Good memories for sure before Trammel expansion. Getting PKd by my own guild created some trust issues that still last today lol. Great video!
I grabbed my beer even before you said I would.
UO is my all time favorite game hands down and I miss it... Back in 1999 my friend introduced me to UO and I played it for over 15 years. I would still play it today, but, you know... I listen to Stones every now and then to get my memories back to the days. Im 32.
Cheers :)
My favorite game of all time that all multiplayer games are compared to. Nothing comes close.
I ran the original UO client on a 486 with Win95 and 20MB of RAM. And it ran quite good. For us AD&D and roleplay nerds, this game was like a miracle in '97. I remember the game slowing down to a crawl at the Britain bank, where ~200 ppl were hanging around. The bank box would open like half a minute after I spoke the magic words. Rumors were spreading that each UO server was running on a dual Pentium Pro system (unbelievable, wow!). And I remember the feeling when I got my first grandmaster title, after felling thousands of trees and crafting thousands of clocks.
This channel is awesome, you are 100 responsible for my new mmorpg addiction. I should have tried UO a long time ago.
Love to hear that :) Welcome ! feel free to reach out in the discord if you have questions
@@PwnstarrGaming Will do man, I'm normally bugging people in the newplayerhelp channel. Cheers!
Loved this Game. Played it on Dialup. Sometimes the town was so crowed you would lag out and not be able to move until it cleared out. I had 5 MAX toons of each style. Loved the Taming and Crafting in this game. I had a "Red" wizard that would just hunt people down. It was great game
UO led to so much that's happened in the gaming landscape... The Stratics boards, black market online sakes, haha. I remember helping run a dial-up internet cafe with my wife, a Senate candidate, and a couoke other geeks in SLC Utah. Much of the crowd was UO, along with some counterstrike clans, up until the Guild Wars open release event, the dawn of Wow,, etc. We had a local news station come cover the early gaming scene. It was an amazing thing to experience. And it is so great to see UO still alive and kicking. There's just nothing like it.
I played this game in the 90's nice to see it's still going strong. it's been so long I've forgotten most of it but the things that stick are getting killed by a cow when I was a noob, getting ganked by PKs exploring the map selling a keep for a million gold and recdu recsu vendor buy the guards a bank, corp por, kal vas flam, you are wracked with extreme pain and the sound of a halberd as you lose 50% of your HP in 1 hit
Wow you just hit the nail on the head! You just brought it all back to me hehe
Hell yes you should. You should play it not expecting a loot hamster wheel, or purely gear dependent gameplay, etc., for anyone UO curious. Heck, there will be times you'll actually go grab some cheap, "disposable" gear because you know you'll be getting into some fights where you may well get your gear looted from your corpse, lol. And you can do the same to others.
UO is a game where you join up in guilds and communities for more than just running a raid... It's for survival in a dangerous world, it's for legit socializing... There be player killers out there! So go find your gang and then get revenge! It's all in good fun!
You have players who can pickpocket you! So learn to keep an eye on your shit! And learn to do it, too, if it sounds fun! And guess what? It makes managing to get something truly cool and rare, surviving while making it back to your house or bank in town where it's safe a massive, memorable time! It's a rush far beyond opening up a raid chest and hoping RNG is kind to you this week like so many other "yawn" games.
UO is loaded with items with no functional purpose other than collection that you seek after simply because they're fun to go chase! Like collecting cards or anything else. Beyond that, there are the ultra rare items that DO have a purpose, too.
UO has many, MANY systems of progression. It's more of a fantasy world Simulator. You're out chopping wood to make arrows.. you have a high tracking skill and a high hiding and stealthing skill. Your tracking for goes off! So you hide. Then you hear galloping. Next, a gang of red murdering player killers ride by on llamas, ostriches, bears, etc, lol. They don't see you. Whew! That was close.. you load up your wood onto your pack animal and get the hell outta Dodge!
Many fun as hell, close call experiences like that, lol. Many deaths to PKs. Many times breathing hard managing to kill PKs and survive. (Like me and 2 others in my guild last night... They picked the wrong targets. We chased each other all around, health going up and down as we fought... Until my pet spider landed a web, PK got stuck, and we buried them, lol. It wasn't a tab and hammer a rotation fight that ended in moments. It was back and forth, running behind walls, us and the enemy trying to outmaneuver until a lethal mistake was made, or a stroke of luck like my spiders web landing with perfect timing.
All in all, you learn to not get too attached to "things". The truly rare things you value the most, you save up to get blessed, or you lock down in your house. Just getting them safely into your bag and hone us a rush and an achievement, and they're now safe.
Really though, the motivation for why you do things in UO is just different. You'll never find a game where just riding around mining and then blacksmithing will be more fun, even if you never even train a combat skill. Build a house, deck out a kitchen, and supply players with the best food in the game. Or potions, weapons, armor, books... They need it! And hunt your meat yourself, grow crops yourself...
There is nothing like UO, and Outlands is the best non official server I've seen.
-Chipette, Grandmaster Shepherd, soon to be Legendary Tamer
damn dude!!! beautifully said!!!!! love it!!
I think you just talked me into getting back into it. My favorite game ever. Got into it around 1999/2000 ish. When ICQ was big. Lol.
Man, I have never played UO before and after the video I was definitely going to play it. However, after reading this comment I am now super hyped to play it lol.
We used to ambush people before they opened they’re house…get they’re keys and loot loot loot, some houses became my guilds houses…we usually killed with the crows bow, and the spell reflection spell…once you’re hit with a weak opening spell, we would continue to run around and reapply the spell…this was when the game first came out….we had 2 main characters…one was a dread lord, and the other was a geared mule to go into town to get supplies….dread lords was killed on site, if you got close to any town….the guards would teleport, and bam you’re dead.
Being a PK was fun as hell…we all wore bone armor head gear…and would have guild meetings, and wage war on rich guilds….we were so hated, many guilds would ban together, and Literally hunt for us….they would usually all end up dead’ specially newbies with melee weapons’ we would run around and crossbow them to death.
We once seen lord British…and tried to kill him…he was cheap, and would send us running.
I played from 1997 to 1999. You weren't safe anywhere, except town, and it was awesome. "Do I take my new Indestructible Broadsword of Vanquishing with me, or leave it in the chest?" So much time investment, strategy, and execution involved. And if you were successful, it felt really good. Usually the hardest battles were with my dial up modem though lol.
Amazing! I didn't realize there was still an active UO community out there. I used to play back in the early 2000s on Catskills in the Gentle Rest Inn guild. Now I'm thinking about picking it up again, all these years later. Thank you!
Yeah very! About 2300 players online at any given time at www.uooutlands.com !! Tons of fun see you there!
Aye played Catskill shard myself, miss the old days I log in now and again for nostalgia but never see a living soul, recall all over looking for signs of life
Bain Darkthorne, T9C The Ninth Circle and AE Ancient Clan of Elders I remember your guild "Gentle Rest Inn" I believe a fellow name Goss was in it but its been so long i am unsure. trying to recall the top guilds PGoH and VvV we tried having an alliance with a few for co-guild events and such, Hail and well met to the fellow catskill citizen, *tips hat*
Thank you so much for the tribute to UO. I started playing UO from day 1 on Lake Superior then moved to Siege Perilous to get a better experience. You did the game justice. Thank you!
The term PK/PKer/PKing was around before UO. There were a couple other MMO's before UO came out that had PvP, including but not limited to, Meridian 59 and Lineage (I had a Korean cheat sheet at my desk to help me communicate with others).
Now, the people creating M59 and people creating UO talked and shared ideas. M59 saw that UO was doing something they thought was cool, and tried to do something similar, and vise versa.
These 2 games are VERY different styles of games. But there are similarities as well, such as being skill based game, rather than level/class based.
Considering getting back in to UO, and exploring different servers.
So much Nostalgia! : )
I hear a few people here and there talk about m59, cool stuff! thanks for sharing
I played this game also in 1997, with original copy, of course. Around 2000 to 2002, I created "Reino Argentino" (Argentine Kingdom, in spanish), one of the biggest Ultima Online' private servers in Latam. I made a custom map (really big), scripts, music, etc. It was great. Good memories. I never had find another MMO like Ultima Online. A lot of younger people talks about World Of Warcraft but, for me, after Ultima Online there is no other MMO that can beat it.
Thank you so much for this well made retrospective on a game that is still kicking. I think I will try UO for the first time, and I will do it on the Outlands server. I was one of those kids that grew up playing RuneScape since 2003 and it was the most immersive and enchanting world I could ever imagine. Had always heard about UO but just never played it. Now I shall (: the classic 2d sprite art style really makes me feel cozy.
^
Ultima 4 was my first gaming love. Obsession really, since the 1980s. Was super stoked for UO when it came out. It will forever be in my heart.
:)
The highly detailed pixel aesthetic of late 90s- early 2000s pc games is one of my favorite aesthetics in all the world
I gotta agree!
id love to see an UO 2 built in Unreal Engine 5. Full 3d with 1st person and 3rd person views. Fully immersive would be amazing
That would be pretty neat for sure!
They were actually working on UO2 back around 2000. Had screen shots and everything. Back when everquest released. But, It got cancelled. I think the rumor was they didn't want to compete with themselves. Ended up coming out with 3rd Dawn I think instead?
We need UO VR!
I loved UO but the graphics never improved and can’t play it on your phone like you can Diablo immortal and other mobile games. Also my houses fell lol.
hell yeah. I just wish I had WiFi back in 1997. Playing with a dial up modem was its own battle. Game crashed at the worst possible times.
this man is a hero! I lived
glorious times of joy playing this game, ty UO!
This was like my entire high school gaming life from 10th grade onwards. I think I started playing when I was 16. Many years later I think I passed on my account, I kind of wish I'd kept it now, but I don't know that I would be able to find the time anyway. Huge nostalgia pull for me. 😃
I miss this game so much. I was around 9-10years old when my big brother tryed to teach me playing this. I got addicted so hard on this. Over 10years of joy my server got down (defianceuor). Now im 29 and im still thinking this is the best game ever. 👍
For sure!! Come hang out Www.uooutlands.com !! Its free!
@@PwnstarrGaming I made account, been playing 6 days now, LOVE IT!
@@hehei22 yayyyy
Love the shirt! I played UO during the beta and for a while after the initial launch. Good times. Looks like it's changed a lot since then!
Yes! This is a free to play custom server www.uooutlands.com ! Check it out sometime!
I love how into this game you are, man. I played it in the early days and had to quit because I was too hooked haha. Hearing you speak about UO I was nodding along the entire time.
Lol I love that! Thank you 😊
As a kid back in the old dial-up days, I remember reading lots about UO and wanting to play it a lot. I was really intrigued by the different factions and the idea that they could fight battles over land and castles. Like most of the early MMOs, I never got a chance to try it myself (I'd actually honestly never gotten to play any MMOs until the late aughts, I spent like $150 to get WoW, Burning Crusade and three months of game time, right when Lich King came out. Played for a month and went back to Morrowind and Oblivion since while several of my friends played, they were all hardcore raiders and at the time I hated being glued to my chair for hours at a time) but was always amazed by the depth of possibility.
On the other hand, I'd tried playing Ultima 7 countless times and being blown away by the open world and the level of interaction you could have, but never knowing where to go or what to do and always dying to some random enemy while wandering aimlessly around.
I'm really tempted to try this now just... dear god, the graphics. The interface.
Lots been jumping on older and indie games. The way to enlightentment in gaming (hahaha if thats a thing) sadly doesn't seem to be in graphics. But instead in... gameplay/value of time spent playing!
Either way! Thanks for watching and commenting your story. Enjoyed reading it! Morrowwind and Oblivion had me hooked as well!
Man...I played this game during the second age. Got hooked for a couple of years, and it is still the game I have the most amazing memories from.
The 8x8 bug.
The Virgil's Criss weapon that was GM made.
Neon dyes, neon hair dyes.
Boom boxes to break paralyze spell.
Rare blue and red colored sandals that you got from killing certain vendor NPCs. Not to mention black sandals.
Releasing a tamed dragon or wyrm in Britannia to se it go wild and kill people.
Buccaneers den.
Star room duels.
The list is endless haha!
Old school Great Lakes player from back in the hay-day. I'm poking around looking to start up my own server for my friends and I to play on. Loved your video man, those were the good old days, brings a tear to my eye just thinking about it.
I played from 97 Great Lakes. Never joined BC but as CaD I was one of the first married in game as a kid it was pretty eye opening the friendships you created back then on your 56k modem.
the memories ;p
man I hope that game survives forever.. speaking that truly from my heart.. man I make your words mine.. I have the feeling as you about this game.. amazing !!!
I couldn't wait until the day this game went live and it finally came! It was an amazing experience from day one and I was HOOKED like no other game I have ever played! I quickly outgrew one account and started paying for a second account about three months in to playing it. I had almost every profession Gm characters from black smith to animal taming, which was my favorite GM character. Taming dragons and making money hand over fist was so addicting I barely had a life at that point it was sleep, work and the rest UO! I was placing houses and castles and selling them on the shard and then got into selling them on eBay for hundreds of dollars. I was selling houses, gold and even accounts I would make and GM characters on them and making more money selling UO items on eBay than I was at my job! Guys, I remember the days!!! Days and memories that will never be lost!
Thank you for posting this video and bringing back those memories! I wanted to share my experience with the UO game for all your viewers. I am 50 years old now, I am a hard core League of Legends player that I have been playing since it came out but it still cant replace the fun times and memories of having all my gaming friends on the UO server. To me it will always be the game of my lifetime! My problem is I just can't install it because I got so addicted it took me over and I know it would do the same today! lol Peace friends! good luck on the game!
I understand completely. I appreciate the time you took to share your story. I remember my father selling a singing crystal ball for $250 on ebay haha. Later we all sold our accounts and then did similar in everquest .
Lol the old days!
Some of my best MMO memories are from hanging out with my guild in UO:R. We had a guild house just NW of Wrong. I levelled a miner just because we were right next to a huge mountain chain and eventually got GM Smith purely mining my own ore.
Tried out Outlands and while I love the gameplay and mechanics of the shard, I just can't enjoy FFA PvP. Having to leave dungeons every 5 minutes because PKs come along gets old quite fast. I get that some people enjoy that part of the game, but for me it just seems like a bunch of people having fun by making sure nobody else does.
I'm sorry you had that experience. If you look in the comments for this video (1.5 year old) and the more recent one (6 months old) you will notice lots of new players coming and enjoying the shard with a different experience.
Hope to see you in Avadon after you give it another shot.
You're a pro man! UO Outlands has been an amazing experience for scratching that Ultima itch. Great to see so much UO content hitting up the UA-cams as well! Keep it coming, I will try as well ;) lol
Aww.... You include their their music.... Brings back memories
I played this so much between 2000-2006, I was on Lake Superior, and I played anything from the leader of a PVP Guild of Stealth Archers at the Yew Moongate in Fel (The Mexican)... To one of the most notorious traders/crafters (Accident).
This game means a lot to me, and made me who I am today.
good times :)
I always thought I just couldn’t enjoy games as much as I used to because I wasn’t a kid anymore.. Then I gave outlands a try and my god was I wrong, it’s not just hype it’s actually that good. For any ex uo players or anyone on the fence about trying it just do it, it’s also free.
Within a couple hours of being in the server, I refound how much fun it could be to even just go around mining, chopping trees, and not worrying about levels
So crazy you say this, as I have been thinking the same thing. I've been trying to finish up the Witcher 3, but even with the amazing story and mechanics, I just can't seem to stay interested. I'm an old UO player from way back (quit around AoS), but this gives me hope that my old passion and old friend is still out there. I think I just might end up giving Outlands a try. Thanks man!
The only thing I'm on the fence about is scripts and razer etc do I absolutely need it
@Lykewise to be honest, you don't need a whole lot in the way of scripts to be successful. Maybe the only time is if you want a semi auto way of resource gathering, but they have periodic captchas pop up to stop bots.
I mainly use the UO client for macro purposes, which has a ton more options than the original. Razor is only needed for more advanced macros for things like training.
@stevedub40 Appreciate your advice! I'm excited already downloaded the game just haven't got razor yet. I'm thinking if going either archer or thief idk but tyvm any u recommend for newb?
I remember the day it was released after beta and the servers were so slow and lagging you could barely move but for days I still tried and tried. Finally fixed the issue and made the best online friends I ever had playing this game. Amazing.
I still remember, in 1997, picking my copy of the expensive edition (with the cloth map) up from the post office and going back to play. It was a buggy mess for months with constant server crashes.
Nonetheless it is the most memorable game ever for me. I sunk so many hours in. It really was a brand new genre, and truly an incredible game for the time.
My brother has the same recollections. It was just so fantastic you had to experience it in the late 90’s to truly appreciate it.
I've heard so much about UO. I was too young for it back then, but as a roleplayer I've always *dreamed* about being around back then. I cannot wait to try this out!
Thats great! Plenty of RP communities in Www.uooutlands.com !!
Getting killed and losing all your things was part of the UO experience!
I remember it talking me weeks before I had the courage to walk through the crossroads, only to be robed, killed and looted by a naked mage with a hally! Good times!
I remember playing it when it came out in 1997, was the best experience of my gaming life for couple of years... and yes i remember the PKS and getting so mad! but when they split trammel and felucca and prevented pk's.. as much as i hated them, it sort of ruined the experience. :D
Wish I had time to play that again
Right there with you. Only pks I truly hated were the right outside town sort. Pacific shard, day one, played for about 6 years.
Yeah me too. You weren't safe anywhere, except town, and it was awesome. "Do I take my new Indestructible Broadsword of Vanquishing with me, or leave it in the chest?" So much time investment, strategy, and execution involved. And if you were successful, it felt really good. Usually the hardest battles were with my dial up modem though lol.
@@the.shotgun.approach oh my god. Kids these days don't even know what rubber banding really means. So many times I watched as my character bounced back and forth trying desperately to run while an ettin stomped in my skull.
@@Delta9Church Lol, I remember vividly. 2 guilds fighting each other, all red names, Chaos vs Order shields. 50 people on screen, Corp Pors, Explosions, and heals all at once, while getting around 4 frames a second. And I'd be lucky if I didn't crash. UO was really before it's time.
@@the.shotgun.approach I was an animal tamer and blacksmith primarily, and for a period was extremely rich as a result of making friends with a gold seller, so I was basically employing new players to mine for me and selling to an RMTer for double the price. Then he stole it all and I quit.
This is the First MMORPG I ever played. I Loved, loved , LOVED, playing that game. It was one of the first to allow you to build a house and have land. I remember when a house decayed you could loot everything that was in it. It was like finding a needle in a haystack but so fun. Learned how to PVP in this game. Probably played 5 years hard and then went to WoW. Now I loved WOW but I always thought Ultima was better. Even in 2D. Glad to see it is still out there. That music really brings me back. I may just have to get back to this.
Hope to see you around!

I m a lucky man for being able to see those old days. Did share the same excites as you did and lived as you lived in a different corner of the world. Ultima Online unites the gamers. Greetings from Istanbul)
Great video!!! I perfectly remember the first day I played UO (back in 2001) .. I was used to playing D&D and I finally found a video game that was perfectly comparable to this famous board game ..
I really miss them, I miss those times :(
yes, I'm crying.
PS: i love your shirt oOooO oOoo OooOO xD
i love this game and still play since 97, by 98 i had my main acct with a tower and 3 large homes on Atlantic and a small marble on Hokuto. im 66 yrs old now and still on the game non stop since 97.
I played on Atlantic Shard. Force of Light guild. My favorite memories was mass PvP at the Britain graveyard before the server went down each night and you didn't lose exp for dying because the server didn't save.
Server wars!!!
Check out this upcoming years version of this video here !

This brings back memories. I think it was 1988 or 1989 when I first saw Ultima on a friends dorm room pc. And that was before the online version I think.
The love i have for this game i started playing Pre-UOR .. it was an amazing journey. From being a player to becoming a dangerous PK with untold amounts of murders on his head. *sighs*
Relive it! Www.uooutlands.com
This really takes me back to playing on Napa Valley. I miss this game so much.
Free to play at www.uooutlands.com very popular too!
Lots of other servers very popular too!
bro... this game makes me emotional. its so nostalgic i cant even explain. one of the best games probably out there
I cant believe this game is still alive and Im glad it is. The music brings all the memories back:))
I was so young when I was playing this (I watched my brother play a lot) and I never got to explore as much as I could but only the basic dumb stuff and running around all day. Watching this Ive decided to get back into this world and continue the fun:))
Love it! You are in for a treat :)
Was born in 98, this was the first MMO I had ever seen or "played" lol I still remember sitting down by my dad's chair watching him play it, even have the disk case and discs still I believe 😂
those might be worth some $$!
I’ve played this game with my little brother it was our favorite game i lost him recently and seeing this video brought back memories of me and him pvping in swamps in my castle.
I wish this game would make a real comeback. I miss how social MMOs (esp UO) used to be. It's great that there's 2k+ players but I imagine with how big UO is it still manages to feel somewhat empty. Either way, I'm definitely looking forward to downloading this and jumping in
You'll find yourself pleased if you jump on outlands. Def doesn't feel empty at all. Very busy!

Thanks for the video man it was great nostalgia taking a trip down memory lane bringing a tear to my eye thinking of my old friends sadly some no longer with us. My uncle beta tested this game years ago and introduced me to uo osi on Atlantic trying to steal me over from Diablo 1 bnet days. sadly I was too poor to be able to maintain my account on osi back than so I cruised free shards for decades under many alias, i will never forget the old t2a days, the evolution from sphere to runuo. it was so long ago I can't remember the first t2a free shards I played but probably some of my most notoriety days were uo gamers demise days as Snail trails, Nosferatu, Artemis, and my crafter Mary's little lamb lol. I can't even remember my admin characters names now it's been so long.
maybe some day I will swing by and check you guys out over at outlander. but I doubt I will ever come back fully to this game because it will just never be the same without my uo family with me.
You just talked me into trying Outlands, and earned a subscriber. Thanks for the great insight.
Welcome aboard! tell em i sent ya :)
Still got the pin.... :) Been rocking that since I'm 10Yo back in 97... Kinda miss the old skool rpg where everything goes and theres no hand-holding the players... Heck, even the PK bunch were doing their stuff while roleplaying.
Didn't realize "Akalabeth" means "she that hath fallen" in tolkeens ancient elf language. Makes everything from Ultima and Richard Garriot tie in and make more sense.
Thats badass. Love it. Thank you for sharing that
My step dad got us into this game at a very young age and it's still one of the best games I've ever played and I go back to it or Ultima Online Forever version very often. I absolutely adore this game and today's games have lost the art and touch that games like Ultima Online had. It's a tragedy. Gonna have to go turn my account back on. Step dad's account is like looking at gods in the Ultima world. hahaha. Literally nothing he can't do between his own characters. Flawless flawless game.
God, I loved playing this game..
I remember farming for rare rocks and shadow mares with my guild Oleum, on the pacific shard.
guilds are great :)
Sometimes I wonder what happened to my UO friends. We hung out at the bank standing in a row just chilling. Now we’re all 20+ years older.
"i don't wanna grow up, i just wanna be a uo(toys r us) kid"
4:53 I am a computer science student who likes distributed systems, where "shards" refer to partitioning to facilitate distribution and occasionally replication of data. I never thought where the word "sharding" came from and I thought you're spewing bullshit, until I checked it up. It's such an amazing discovery for me : D I love old school MMOs and video games they were all just so great. I am currently playing Final Fantasy XI on some private servers and having a blast, hopefully will get to Ultima Online someday. Thank you for the great content!
Thanks for the comment !
I was playing UO this is where my love for mmorpg started and by this day I still play different mmo’s
Who here remembers Felucca being the only server and the write ups in magazines about how terrible it was for noobs because it was just a straight murder fest 24/7, almost becoming a failed game. You'd buy the game and spawn and be instantly killed :D Welcome to UO! Still, it grew beyond it's growing pains, and I loved it. Then I graduated to Asheron's Call, which was my favorite MMO.
I remember that well. Mobs of murderers waiting right at the town exits to slay every newb daring to leave the city, while experienced blue players didn't care at all about their innocent brethen getting slain over and over. In the end, we always stayed near the city guards to enjoy the game a bit and level some skills. When Trammel came, I finally could see all the wonders of the world I never dared to visit before because of PKers. Got myself a log cabin on Trammel, not far from Vesper. Those housing days were exciting.
I started in 1997 and still play to this day. It's nowhere near the glory days, but its still the best game and the best MMO I've ever played. I wouldn't trade the tens of thousands of hours I've sank into UO for anything. They are memories I cherish. Long live UO. Pacific/Baja Green Horde vet. IDOC hunter.
Actually I never play any ultima series. Now im playing ultima 9 and origins systems company is what brought me to this video lmao. I think this game will live forever
I've never played Ultima Online, but I've always wanted to. May take a break from Star Wars Galaxies to finally try it out. So happy to see that it's still running.
Www.uooutlands.com
Oooo swg!! That's such a great game from the stories I've heard!
@@PwnstarrGaming Super good. The Legends server is kickin. It's such a good time for old school mmos, even more on the horizon. I'm excited about EQOA as well.
Wow! I used to play Ultima Online late 90's early 2000's, and lived through the 3D conversion phase. I had three accounts when I had to leave the game due to an unemployment issue and I couldn't fork out the cash month over month rationally. I was clicking through video suggestions on my page, and I thought to myself.. "I wonder if Ultima Online is still even a thing?" So I typed into the UA-cam search and wa-la! I mostly played on Atlantic, Sonoma, but I did have some characters on Europa and Pacific because when one server went down for the night I'd hop time zones and played around the world doing an all day all night run. I loved the player community, and the shared spirit of the world, and I eventually created a Tamers Guild. My first and main account was stocked with GM Warriors, A GM Tamer, GM Mages, GM Tinker, GM Carpenter, GM Smith and a GM Alchemist. I had two Large Houses and a Medium house that came with the account I bought from Ebay I did play on a player server as well, but I had admin powers there, and it wasn't really a challenge anymore, but it was a fun distraction, and it's probably why I gravitated to Skyrim and modding my Skyrim. Yeah, the game was brutal and if you died, you might end up in a kill loop running from the Wandering Healer back to your corpse, just to get killed again by the same creature that killed you initially, or PK'd by someone looting your corpse. There nothing more satisfying than killing the monster that killed you and getting your stuff back from its corpse! The Dev events were awesome and sometimes brutal too, but the loot was good and the community fought and died to save Britainia! I miss Lady Devil, Lady Marissa, and all my UO guildmates, respectfully submitted Lord Ian Fallenhope of the Shard Atlantic.
Man come check out Www.uooutlands.com sometime. Its a great growing community !
I LOVE YOUR SHIRT! Great video and amazing nostalgia.... I miss playing on my old shard! I still till this day keep in touch with people i played UO with back like 15 years ago

PK was in use before UO... i remember using the term in diablo 1 multiplayer too.
That got me interested in the origin of the term. A simple Google search gives no definitive answer, but I imagine it originated in Muds from the 80s or early 90s.
I remember long ago, when you could place runes on random lands, and eventually people would build homes on those lands. Then you could loot the entire home
Hahahaha! OOF
Haha, I played this after the first expansion (still preferred old game client over new 3D one), but mostly on some of the biggest custom server at the time (I forgot the name) leveling up couple of characters.. I remember leveling up smith was very rewarding despite all it's repetition on mining and stuff. I had character with stealth (hiding in shadows) and thieving that was kinda fun to goof around with around the town, but it was hard to level up as far as I remember and wasn't very useful until skills maxed or something, but turned out to increase usability then. Had one simple mage for PvP against those threatening my smith/miner, as it was getting assaulted quite often lol. And then had animal tamer with some combat skills I forgot about, but I was going alone with the tamer mostly and it was really rough - I was trying to kill some monsters that were way out my level with it and it was rewarding to do so when successful, though they didn't always drop the loot I wanted on single session. There was this dragon or drake cave around not insanely far from the main city to tame those... or was it that you could only tame drakes and kill dragons with your tamed drakes, you could've got 2 drakes if I remember, at once? And didn't they increase their stats over time granted they were kept alive. With combining best out of those I'd get custom house on place I wanted and modifying it was really fun, also choosing the place was vital thinking about my crafting characters due mining and stuff. Fun times. Very time consuming game, tho. Lots of depth in this game when it comes to creating different type of characters whether for moneymaking or PvP, or PvE. Getting killed and losing your stuff was brutal haha. Many different classes feel truly unique and useful, plus rewarding too, whether smith, PvE warrior, PvP mage, or animal tamer (damn that was fun to singleplay too lol). Might revisit the game some time perhaps. It's been too long tho.
Great video!! EO was my very first MMO I ever played. Friends from London ON told me about it. I still have that cloth map of the world tucked away somewhere from the boxed game. Lol...I still remember dying fighting a...sheep. So ya, it had a brutally lethal combat system. I also recall the first time I was PKed. I decided to wander as a ghost for a while and entered some PC's house way out in the wilderness. He started talking to me...which freaked me out. Back then I didn't know you could learn the still to see and talk to ghost characters. I will admit I didn't stick with the game for more than a year or so. Moving to Dark Age of Camelot. I might actually see if this old laptop of mine can handle the game. Cheers!
Hope you find your way here to Outlands! Its a great game for sure !! Www.uooutlands.com!
The music brings back so much memories. This was the game that had me hooked.
Yeah its a great one!
I played this game back in 90's and 00's used to love. Best MMO ever, it's a unique experience, wish they just have a updated graphics version.
I've been playing since about 2000, still love the game there are also so many free servers out there so there is always something new to do and discover.
Renaissance,UoForever,Outlands, and where I currently reside Uo untouchables just to name a few!
Hell yeah brother! Long Live UO!
I just started Outlands yesterday. Originally I played 1998- 2012 official, then 2012 - 2018 on player shards.
welcome my friend!
My first MMO back in the day! Got tired of being a great lord and started killing pcs and got to dread lord in just a matter of days. As DL, I ended up becoming friendly with many more people than I had as a GL. 2 people tried to gang up and kill me. I killed them both but guarded their bodies while they came back for their things. We started chatting, and over time they started long-distance dating and eventually got married. All thanks to me! Haha. I'll always remember the early UO days fondly.
Now thats a love story!!
PK didn't come from Ultima.... long before that... Meridian59 (the true first graphical online MMORPG) ... though only the original players around during the time of the dawn of internet gaming. Just FYI. 😉 for the old players!
thanks man brought back some of my best UO memories on Neverlands shard 21 years ago. Great Video.
Just started playing again after many years ...haha Sadly my old account must've been lost in the nether... BTW some of the stuff you claimed were originally Ultima Online-based sadly was not. For example, PK (player killer) came from games years prior with PvP "Neverwinter Nights".... but Ultima still had some basis of originality for sure...
When I played my first game 18 years ago, no other MMORPG can attract me more. now I play UO again.
For those who look for a vintage experience, Uo Renaissance is the best.
I played there a while!
Flip I love this game. My "guild" were a bunch of dicks. I remember fishing tens of thousands of fish. Chopping and cooking them adding deadly poison and putting it in stacks in front of the main bank. Log out and back in on another character loot the grey bodies and banknit all. Good times
Golden Bear Mall is another place you should check out (Prevalia Moongate)!!
BEST PRICES BEST STOCK
I used to love to play UO, dude, such an important game in my life. Id like to play it again, but can't find a realiable shard to do so...
See you in Outlands, Avatar!
Seeya in Outlands! At any given time, cities are crowded, invasions are happening, and you'll feel at home.
I haven't played since 99... this video makes me want to again
I haven't played this in YEARS!!! I'm down to get back in. I thought it was dead.
Excellent - see you soon! www.uooutlands.com is where I play - OR www.uo.com for the retail version.
It's just...ULTIMA.Thank you Richard,you've done it right.Compared to the broken game releases nowadays,THIS IS MASTERPIECE!
