My answer is simple

UO Might be dying on official shards... but private shards *snip*

Deimos - Which aren't allowed to be advertised here, as per the ROC

Is UO dying? No. But it isn't a fun game anymore that's for sure. It went from #1 to average at best.

I disagree in that I first started playing UO and while on something of a prolonged absence, I toyed with other MMORPG's and while the graphics were impressive and whatnot, I found that they lacked the charm, community and just plain old fun that UO gave.

While it might not be the flashiest thing out there, I enjoy it and will continue to do for as long as I can.

For you maybe, but alot of people still enjoy it

It has its ups and downs as all online games do but the one thing that no other game seems to be able to pull off is the unity of players playing in a community setting. Guess it depends on what a person is trying to acheive in the game.

Myself, I am crafter never *fought a single time in all the years I have played and yet I truly do enjoy playing UO everyday just by helping others acheive their goals.

*except I do let a mongbat now and then feel my boomstick in order to restock vendors :cheesy:

Amen to that. My blacksmith is not a fighter and would get his head handed to him if he got into a scrap.

My assassin on the other hand....*smiles innocently*

Sure. But looking at statistical charts, a lot people have quit UO (coming down from #1 or #2 online game) and now it pulls an average customer base at best. But it's still chugging along at least.
