LOL... They even allow you to set up a monthly payment plan!

I'm curious as to why people are so excited for this?

It will be, quite literally, nothing like UO.  It is more like the old single player Ultima genre with some sprinklings of UO mechanics -- but it will be absolutely nothing like UO.

I agree with Orich. I think the worst misstake people are doing is thinking it'd be a new UO. I can see a lot of disappointed faces coming from just such people.

Has anyone bothered to look at the videos on Youtube?

This game looks absolutely atrocious.

I have now played with it a few times during pre-alpha, and it looks better on a large screen with a good card than it does on YouTube...

And no, it isn't UO, since that is owned (and still slowly being killed) by EA! But I am enjoying what I've seen so far, and they *do* listen to the players that got involved...

What kind of exp or Knowlegde have you to state that it will be nothing like uo?

Have the Dev Stated that this is the new Ultima online game?if so i can understand some of your comments,but if not your guys are lost.

i know a few Open Sandbox Games that will be 99% uo like but i respect this uo Forum to much to advertise other game.

i have been Lojal to uo since 1997 and have played Mortal online,Age of conan and tons of others,but nothing is as free /relaxing/adrenalin kick/ Fear/beeing robbed/build a uniq house with all you can imagine,Go for fame anf glory,become a Soldier or a Guild King,its only imagination that stop what you wanne do on uo,thats why i end up here allways after trying new promising open sandbox mmo,s,BUT UO ISThe BESt Game Ever of its time!!!!!!!!!!!,and i will alwayss be around in the shard,even tho i can play another game on the side.
