Great to have you here Mesanna:
It is nice having you folks from EA around. Some players like myself have been playing the Ultima games since we were kids. I started back in 83 with Ultima 3 on the Com64.. To this day I still play. And I am happy to say I have since found and gotten all the older Ultima games to run under winxp just fine. I even found a port for the very first game. Akalabeth. And even a port for the not very realeased Escape from Mt. Drash to work on my laptop.
I am really hoping that in the future UOKR will run much smother on many systems. Desktop and laptop alike. Right now when I run it on my laptop. (Toshiba M3 2.0ghz, 2gb mem, 128mb NVidia Running at 1400x1050) It runs very sweet. I am still dealing with the system kicking the fan into over-drive when the game is running. BUt I have been able to work around this.
On a side-note. During your road-trip this year. Any chance of coming back to Seattle at all. I have checked the road-trip map. And Seattle is not listed..
Anyways welcome to UoForums.. Hope to see and hear more from you..
Till then, keep up the good work.
