    Because the past is not something to live in, it is there to be talked about fondly.

    Ikcin in response to yours sincerely debating whether or not single-player offline MMOs exist...



    'This does not apply just to ED but SC or any other game. What they will get is Rebirth/X4, likely prettier but equally underwhelming and pointless. 

    It is incredibly difficult to design some meaningfull leg content that would fit a space ship game - simply because it is not a leg game.

    It is just huge resource waste....'

    Still. . no bank.   That makes it more of an extended trial. . not F2P.

    "Why bother looking for a game that brings back fond memories of more "hardcore" MMO days when you know that Ultima Online, the game that many feel is the standard for what today's MMOs should be, is going free to play? "

    Pre molested UO and modern UO are two completely different games. You don't call a frog a tadpole, and you don't refer to publish 99 as the hardcore MMORPG of decades past.
    This was where even free shards seemed to fail. . I played 2TA and LOVED it. . until I realized that I had done it all before. . the other shards that add stuff or set in a later period of the game have the itemization that I thought ruined the game OR have severely restricted PvP.  I never initated PvP ever but I did enjoy knowing it could happen.  It made the game world feel more organic.

    I might check out that other one someone posted. . forever I think it was.

    I was the Alpha / Beta tester for this game (yes paid $5 for the CD too) played it for 4 years and i cant believe that 18 years later there are still people still paying sub for it or even play it all together.

    I looked at the difference between f2p and sub accounts and f2p account will make it impossible to play the game.. they restrict you so much that it would be pointless after a few hours of gameplay.

    I wonder what they were thinking when they thought it would be a good idea. Reminds me of that f2p in ArcheAge fiasco.
    They were thinking it would be pointless to play for free after a few hours of game play.
