poopface is. I've been reading much about it and they seem to have their heads on straight. Time will tell.

You tap on the crystal ball and are rewarded with such sayings as "Eat at the Blue Boar Inn". Obviously.

It didn't take EA long to destroy Ultima Online. Don't really have high hopes that a new Ultima by them won't be complete garbage from the outset.

Trammel UO....

"Ultima Forever" picks up 21 years after "Ultima IV" left off. Players can join up to three friends, as each works toward the goal of becoming the virtuous "avatar" of the land.

While the graphics, look and feel have obviously been upgraded due to advancements in technology over the years, Flack said the concept still remains true to what it was nearly three decades ago.

"It's about mastering yourself, not mastering the world," she said. "When (a non-player character) asks you a question ... you are forced to pause and ask yourself, 'What do I think is the right thing to do? Do I want to be kind, or do I want to be fair? What kind of person am I?' "

Rather than seeing how many creatures a player can kill or how much gold they can accumulate, Flack is more interested in getting inside the player's head. She says the game is almost like a personality test, giving players choices in the attempt to be a good person. How they get there is up to them.

Sorry, lost me at "Login to your Origin Account."

I like how not long ago EA done a return to UO thing where all the old accounts where activated for a week, yet I tryed to log in and out of 7 accounts i rember not one worked even on there site.

for some reason EA are using origins name again not there own branding, much like C&C TA if anyone plays. EA love buying out great starter companys and ruining them, saw they taken funcom too now.

IGN: Will the multiplayer be co-op only, or will there be PVP as well? How many players can quest together?

Jeff Skalski: Multiplayer will be co-op only, but it doesn’t mean you can’t have a little fun with your group while playing. i.e. Activating a trap at the wrong moment. As for the group size, it’s a total of four.

No PVP huh? Sounds a bit Trammel to me.
