Here's DD on UO's birthday, answering how UO pushed the genre forward 20 years ago:

Raph concludes with this:
"Ultima Online ... nobody else has managed to make something quite like it. ... So that imperfect, barely functional...
I had this problem, too, on a high-res laptop. I can't verify what I'm going to write next as I'm on a prolonged vacation without that laptop.
I think I at first copied my old steam folder (or part of it) over to the new laptop. I further think there is a html-file in the steam folder, and that...
Do you think UO runs on a cheap 2-in-1 tablet/laptop uoforever (<1 kg) ... just for house refreshing?
I have a 6 weeks journey coming up, where I won't take my gaming laptop (too heavy), and I don't have anyone friended to the houses.
I solo 100%, am unguilded, and have no complaints about PK. Narratives can create perceived truths, though. Goonswarm in EVE ...
However, I think more important was the changed dynamics for the top loot from champs, which really were pretty much dominated by EQMS (or not?).
EQMS sort of succeeded where OSI failed:
Let the sheep have fun on a joint shard of sheep and wolves (Felucca). Although for many, the price was too high (bow to someone like Gluttony).
Was the size of EQMS so negative for the server that now the wolves left? Or was the big problem just the...

And THAT is UO-magic.
See the poor little ratman? Hunched. Bizarre. Trying deperately to REALLY check out the rock in front of him. Trying desperately to NOT look at the disaster-in-making behind him.
Look natural!
It'll be interesting what our devs will do with the "back to the roots" update that Shane hinted at.
Lots of stuff from the early times would drive people crazy nowadays. Passively training other people's spirit speak just be standing next to them, lol. Provoking in towns. Stats oscillating all...
1. get into discord
2. wiki on the forum page is ok for server specialities
3. stratics.com is ok for vanilla uo things
4. make a provocation dexer or archer for first money maker
5. get a good Cappuccino machine
Enjoy!
My walk outside the Trinsic gates brought me to the strip of land between our two rivers. Hadn't a small tower stood here? Hadn't it collapsed a good while ago?
The canopies of the jungle overshadowed a ruin, hardly anything left of the tower.
I stepped closer. The stone floor had already...
