I'm considering a revisit to Ultima Online after all of these years. What's prompted this treading down nostalgia lane? They're pushing a graphics update that looks quite good. It's not exactly on the scales with recent MMOs, but the isometric views are visually pleasing nonetheless.

With this push back to prettier 2D isometric, they are discontinuing UO's old optional 3D view, which shouldn't leave anyone crying as it was a poor hackjob attempt to compete with Everquest in the first place.

The details of my old account are probably buried in an email somewhere, but I don't know if I could revive my character from 1997 anyway. Geez, it's been an entire decade, I think his name was Semaphore, but I'm not even sure on recalling that correctly. My house is most certainly long gone by this point, hell I don't even know if the server Shard I was on still exists.

One thing I do still have is my UO original cloth map. =D

It's going to be incredibly mind-blowing for me to step back into that universe.

Ultima Online: Kingdom Reborn is currently in beta, with no exact date for release other than RSN. I'm going to wait until it's out before using up a 14 day free demo account.
