re: Anyone ever play Ultima Online back in the day?

I didn't know IPY was back up? I thought it had went down some time ago. In any case, I like hybrid because of (1) the amount of players -- was ~200 users at most times and more at peak about a year ago, (2) it incorporates some of the newer OSI stuff while not having felucca crap, and (3) it has some of its own mods that make it worthwhile. Anyway, I go on MMO kicks, and usually UO is the answer. I've done LOTRO and got tired of it and quit before the mines of moria expansion. I played wow for a time. I plan on playing KOTR when it comes out and I am holding off on using my MMO energies until it does. I'll just continue playing cs 1.6 (wc3ft mod only) for the time being. I honestly dont think an updated 'UO' type game would survive today. Most people are too scared to PvP in MMOs because of the consequences unless you do something like LOTRO did. The majority of MMO players would rather grind and be safe knowing they can beat the predictable NPCs or monsters. Just look at OSI with the felucca crap.

yeah man IPY went back up yesterday. 1100 players active on it.

I agree, they need to just release a classic server I think it would gain so much popularity
