Re: [OT] New look at Order vs Chaos in Britannia

Oh people, people... I'm an UDIC, I make the claim to know most of the Ages of (at least) u5-u9. UO NEVER HAS HAD ANYTHING to do with Ultima. And since EA grabbed it...

Re: Slightly OT: EA shuts down Origin for good

I would wish them to either find a new home together, away from EA, or to get together and build something new. Sadly, you guys before me were right. That wasn`t Origin anymore. It was a handpuppet for EA. But if I look back on the (partly gross) changes UO alone went through.. *shakes her head* Nop...
