BTW at second 0:50-51 , you can see that lamp posts have arch window light effect facing east, the other windows also light outwards, not inwards.

That's the era I miss the most just because it was my first experience and I was just so blown away by uo in general.
No game will ever compare to that first year of uo.

I do miss the old character creation screen. It screamed Ultima (very true to the series). The current one just looks like a typical registration/creation page with a few visuals.

Yea what they said. Totally gave me a boner I still remember the first time on my own account. Sounds are so crazy in evoking old memories. The chest, moving of pages, and of course the corpses.

Reminds me of spending my first Ultima hours running around Yew as a ghost.

I had attacked a deer.

I lost.

My first death was due to attacking a boar somewhere in the bloody plains. After dying and getting ressed by a healer, I happened upon a corpse with a colored cape and was so excited I wore it all the way back to Vesper. I later learned you could dye clothing, making my find less awesome.

My first was on the road east of Brit. PK's surrounded me with walls of stone. I was outraged because I'd managed to, like, kill a chicken for some feathers, and they dry-looted me.

For me it was a Dire Wolf. I was about 11 years old, alone and confused because I couldn't figure out how to res until accidently running into a Wandering Healer.
