| The best online RPG ?
Online gaming - multiple players on a computer network playing real-time games via modem connections - has progressed from basement computer geekdom to the mainstream. Ultima Online has grown to hundreds of thousands of active players in its two-and-a-half years of existence. Ultima Online 2, the next multiplayer online world, will feature a next-generation 3D engine and beautiful animation created with state-of-the-art motion capture technology. Like the original, community building will be a top priority. UO2 will feature a full suite of community-building tools, including robust communication software, a comprehensive party/guild system, diverse player-owned property and detailed character customization to ensure a thriving community.UO2 will be balanced to allow for single-player adventuring, although players may find that this is less efficient in terms of advancement. Ultima Online 2 is a multiplayer game first. As a result, players who adventure together will often find that they are a more effective adventuring team than the sum of their parts. There will also be parts of the game that are specifically geared towards groups of adventurers. |
