Maybe its just me but do you think perhaps the UO devs and the owners are *really* taking the mickey out of the players now?

Next April fools joke to be a card saying

"Ultima Online is to be brought into the 21st Century!"

or

"IOU five years subscription fees"

or

"IOU a fixed factions system"

or

"IOU a functioning Kingdom Reborn Client"

or

"IOU Stygian Abyss"

[now that one would be worth logging into UO to see]
