Ultima Online has always been my favourite Online-game, although the graphics are, well, let's say: far from modern. What makes UO huge in my opinion is that you can really do a lot of things, play different types of characters, interact with other players, and, errm, kill them ![Smile](https://apolyton.net/core/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Unfortunatly EA (the company who owns the game) has totally turned what UO was some years ago into a nightmare - so, I quit my account (hell, why pay for something that is not fun after all?). Luckily a friend of mine told me, that you can play UO for free too, on the so-called "freeshards" - which are, in fact, UO-servers run by players for players. Now, woosh, there were many, many shards, and it really took me some while to find one I like....
Long speech, short sense, my new favourite UO-shard can be found at www.endeffect.org. What I like about this shard, is that there is no pressure or endless interviews to get on - there is friendly staff that really cares about your issues, and the people who are playing there are really nice too. The gamestyle is a *lot* like the UO of the old those, if one of you actually played it. This means: PvP is encouraged, so is RPG, but it is not enforced. An unique thing there is too, that the clients support the UO:Third Dawn version of the game too (at least I did not see that on any other shard I checked out, which does not mean that there isn't another one) - so, if you maybe want to try out UO, or return to the game, check out this server! And, of course, it does not cost a penny
