"Excellent"
I left Ultima online when UO 3D was starting and didnt like it. I since have returned and love all the changes they have done to it. After a 5 year avsence it has been hard learning things over again but I have fallen back in love with the game.

"Works well on wine in Linux"
This game is a very good mmorpg and one of the first. The 3d client has been patched out in anticipation of UO: Kingdom Reborn. The 2d client works great on Linux using default wine settings. There are now a huge number of quests in game and also with New Haven that came out recently its easier to raise your skills when you begin. Overall it's very fun to play and there is still a big community behind it.

"WARNING - 3D No Longer Supported! BAD CS!"
This game used to be my absolute favorite game in the world. Now, it is useless. 100%, completely, utterly, useless.

The developers took away the 3D client in anticipation of a new 3D client that was supposed to be released "Spring, 2007", but it is May and so far it has not been released, nor has any definite release date been set. This means that folks who enjoyed the 2D client can still play, but people who only liked the 3D client cannot. The 2D client may have it's "charm" for some players, but to me, it's difficult, nay, impossible, to use.

Do those who don't know, if you get used to to 3D client for years, it is EXTREMELY awkward and clumsy to move to the 2D client later. Containers cannot be resized, meaning you can no longer find anything in them without spending HOURS (literally) moving items around in them. The size of the play screen can't be changed, meaning that on large monitors you have to struggle to see anything.

The developers have removed EXTREME functionality in the game in anticipation of a new release that is not immediately forthcoming. I will NEVER trust EA for an online game again. Removing functionality from paying customers without a suitable alternative is unacceptable!

I recommend staying far, far away from this. And I will personally never buy another online game from Electronic Arts as long as I live.

"*NOTE* This is NOT a DVD"
This product is actually 3 CD's and not a DVD as advertised above. *grumble*

Other than that, buy it! It's fun! Corp Por!

"Sorry, I just do NOT understand the game. There are no online directions for me to obtain."
I am having difficulty understanding this game. There are no Online directions for this game. Often, when playing with the online characters, I have difficulty with learning character activities, such as how to fish, and other tasks for the game. I also have difficulty navigating around to the different cities. The small map, provided lacks readability, and cannot be seen very well, either. There are too many difficulties to explain. I am NOT enjoying this game, very much. I am STILL paying $ 12.95 per month for it, in hopes, that it MAY be improved, soon. Yet, if it isn't, I may be canceling the Online fees, and putting the game on a shelf, forever.
