UO Second Age

UO has grown a lot, and currently it has grown into Stygian Abyss, the new expansion pack with reworked art and some graphics (improved KR engine). Of course new race, items etc. What do you guys think about the game itself? Has it moved away from what UO originally was? Is it going in the wrong dir...

Do i need 3 accounts for multi clients or just one will do?

sweet! thanks!
Is it possible to run two clients at once and play two chars at once?

I played UO forever ago back when i was a lot younger, years and years. I stumbled on this site through nostalgia and am very interested in playing again:) Im not sure if this is the right section:) Any tips on how to get started once ingame? I remember runes and runebooks being extremely important....
