Unless you want better everything, then I suggest Legends of Aria. It has a way, way better rpg system than UO. The last time I checked out UO they did have starting area quests to guide players so in my opinion they blow LoA away in that regard, but I have to say, in my opinion, LoA does absolutely everything else better. And, again, when it comes to the rpg system there is no comparison.
My hope is player run world servers are popular and have good custom content and quests like a lot of the NWN servers.
( Note to self-Don't say anything bad about Drizzt.)
An acerbic sense of humor is NOT allowed here.
Any idea if it's still the same?
Thank you for your time!
What do you know about being smart?
Not sure what you mean.
There is auto-attack in game (melee, ranged and unarmed skills) and you can assign keys to spells and most skills like healing and channeling.
Also there are even native keys for target self, last target, etc. Not to mention that you can even Tab for target and use WASD movement if you wish.
About being smart, dont say Steam servers, if you don't do anything for the actual steam players to get a decent plot x).
You're welcome, i love when kiddos ask question and get what they deserve

For me, character development systems and the overall rpg systems is my biggest draw to games. Why would I not want a new game I somewhat enjoy (UO) with a much superior and improved rpg system and character development?
Its the exact reason I am looking forward to WoW Classic.
Could not agree more.
What sets apart all the theme park MMOs? Why play new MMOs when you can play EQ? *sarcasm*
Regarding Legends of Aria, it has lots of similarities to UO, but there are also lots of differences.
The article above is a great example of these differences. The bard in LoA is completely different from bards in UO
Not just that, but these type of people, and this type of thinking, is exactly what got UO2 cancelled. That was the game I was most looking forward to, and it getting cancelled out of nowhere for this exact type of corporate thinking infuriated me at the time.
What is also weird is Shadowbane was as much of a UO clone as this game and no one said a word about it, as well as many other games since. Why all the backlash and hate on this specific game?
If I had to guess I would say that some of the people who have issues with this game might be angry at the differences, that it isn't Ultima Online. I also think that there is a contingent of players who are upset at the recent changes to the ruleset.
Quite frankly, from where I sit it looks fun. This wasn't really a game I was even remotely considering but after reading a bit about it I think it could be good.

Here is a good example of a well done base game + dlc. The pricing for the dlc is VERY reasonable too.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/527430/Warhammer_40000_Inquisitor__Martyr/
Having so many DLC even at $2.99 allows them to put their base game on sale and $2.99 for a DLC? A big mac costs $6 so you can get 2 DLC for the price of one big mac.
LoA IS the type of game that has enough content in the base game already to be worth the box price.
I've spent about 300 hours in the game so far and would gladly pay $4.99 for extra classes like the bard or how about monk or maybe a druid. How about actual "Shards" which can be paid DLC themed instanced worlds with unique mobs + loot. Volcanic world, Steampunk world etc I'd pay $4.99 for each and every one to support the game.
No fate but what we make, so make me a ham sandwich please.
I'd give it a shot as except for some pvp issues it's not really as bad as what people say it is. Still it's no Ultima Odyssey (track and mark pvpers with a skill)
This isn't a signature, you just think it is.
If you go back and look at CoT and SoH threads since the private CoX servers came out, you have people mad these games are being developed, and people mad other people are excited for and looking forward to spiritual successors. I was never a huge fan of CoX - I thought it was okay and had a lot of potential if they did x, y, and z different or better.
And I'm not saying people don't or can't have valid criticisms of a spiritual successor, or a plain old successor. I think FO 3 and 4 are fake fallouts. Diablo 3 gutted and ruined the one aspect I really liked about Diablo 2 (skill trees and interesting character building). I could list a million examples like this. But what I don't get is people getting mad at spiritual successors in general. I never one thought, "Why would someone want to play Diablo 3 when they can play Diablo 2?" Because its new and different. I definitely don't like that tons of people prefer the complete shit rpg system diablo 3 had over the actual good one Diablo 2 had. But that is criticizing a specific idea or system rather than the general idea of people wanting something new and different or have better systems (in their opinion).
One guy above stated UO is better because of a specific system where you can mark and track a PC for pvp. Its not a system I care about, but I know when SWG had it people loved it, and I understand that its exclusion could alienate people who want it. I can understand that. I can't understand why people would get mad or comment on people excited about CoT and SoH because there are private servers for CoX.
I'm not sure if I am explaining this well or clearly but I already spewed enough text so hopefully this is somewhat sensible or understandable.
Ah, yes that is silly then. While I think the return of CoX may cause the spiritual successors some trouble, it is ridiculous for fans of it to be angry that the new games are being worked on and hopefully ultimately released, or be bothered by excitement over them.
The return of CoX (other than one private server that was shrouded in secrecy) has just recently become available essentially out of the blue. Prior to that the successors were the only hope for the vast majority of CoX fans of playing a game like it again.
To turn on them now, after years of effort of trying to create something akin to what was thought lost, is certainly something they don't deserve. It is also rather foolish, as the fan celebrated return of CoX as pleasant as it is will always have an element of risk the successors do not.
