Ultima Online: Worlds
built 628 days ago
Ultima Online is a persistent universe set in the mythical land of Sosaria after the time of the Avatar\'s defeat of Mondain. Ultima Online: Renaissance is set after Minax\'s defeat of Lord British. The worlds that are Sosaria have been split by the powers that are Trammel and Felucca, the moons of Sosaria. Trammel, the land of good, honor, and order, links to Felucca, the land of evil, dishonesty, and chaos via a network of moongates and moonstones. Plots evolve by design of the forces of Order and Chaos (apparently), and provide a great number of experiences for the player. Translation: think MUD with a sprite interface!

[I]t is said, that Ultima Online is only the mirror to the real universe, created by Cthulhu himself with his teethbrush while visiting his sister in law, Lucy, a couple of million years ago. Since then a copy of this dimension mirror has been saved to an OAL Disk, hidden on the moon, found by Darth Vader, and stolen by Blizzard, who tried to make the real universe 3d, creating World Of Warcraft inbetween. In 1950 Kurt Russel found the disk in the sands of Gizeh, and to hide the fact, that the world is two dimensional isometric in reality, he invented the facts listed above. So he has released some savegames of Cthulhu as the Ultima Series, and hid the rest of the code in the Linux Kernel, which led to Projects as Gnome and KDE, proving, that Linux is driven by Forces of Reality, including Drakons and Gnomes.

After that, Ultima Online was published to attract people who have no life at all - or simply the victims of World War II who had no house, no food, no family nor a chick to fool around with. Finally, Ultima Online established to be the Uber-MMORPG ever. Since 1950 there are more than 3,123000 faggots paying 10 $ a month for beeing killed and looted every five minutes.

The shattering of the Gem of Immortality was the genesis of Ultima Online. The shards created were perfect images of Sosaria. But with the essence of immortality seeping from the fragmented shards, the fabric of the universe began to unravel. While mysterious guardian spirits are credited with the salvation of Sosaria, in actuality, the primal cooperative magic of the elves mended the world anew. Such an immense enterprise, weakened the fey folk significantly and they withdrew from the world and its affairs to restore themselves.

The world of Britannia really comes to life in Ultima Online. Scissors can be used to cut cloth that can be used to tailor a new shirt; an axe can be used chop up wood that can be whittled into arrow shafts; a fearsome wandering chicken will yield feathers that can be combined with wooden shafts to make arrows. If you have the inclination, you can really live out the life of a butcher, a baker, or a candlestick maker. Of course, this "interaction" merely consists of clicking one object onto another, but the levels of detail really help to create an immersive environment.
