Shroud of the Avatar (in early development, 'spiritual successor' to UO but looks like it will be very RP and not PvP-centric at all)Īnyway China probably wants their Great Wall of Text back, but would be interested to know the community's thoughts. Archeage (currently in Alpha i believe? Looks to be a promising mix of UO and WoW, am keeping a close eye on it) Mortal Online (haven't looked into it much, I'm wary of lower-budget games as they tend to be pretty crap) Darkfall (seems buggy and not like it's very well supported) basically anything that came out I tried it at least for a few weeks.Īnyway as for what I'm aware comes close at the moment, this is the list as far as I can tell: the list includes GW2, Shadowbane, Aion, SW:TOR, Warhammer, Neverwinter, Rift, EQ2, FF14, EVE, etc.

I've tried basically every mainstream MMO since UO was released at some point, but none of them except WoW have held my attention as they've all done basically a worse job than WoW does.

I miss that in original Ultima Online you could do so many things creatively to make gold / interact with the world / influence people due to the sandbox nature, whereas while WoW has great straight up PvP compared to anything else out there it still feels too 'theme park' style after all this time. I've played WoW since vanilla and it's been the 'best' thing since original UO due to the great polish and responsiveness of the combat, but the way it's so limited in what you can do has always been frustrating to me. Basically have exhausted everything on Google attempting to find a modern replacement for original Ultima Online (talking late 90's in its first couple of years of existence) but completely failing. Decided to finally register after being a reader/lurker for several years.
