Ultima Online becomes FRANKENSTIEN
Okay… Ultima Online did not become Frankenstien, though I guess in a way it kind of did. Why? Because today, EA starts to ship their new version of Ultima Online - Ultima Online: Kingdom Reborn. Why do I think its Frankenstien like? Well, you’re taking a game that’s 10 years old, which is dying, because everyone is turning to the cool 3d looking MMOs and then they’re making it look “cooler”, by building on top of a engine that probably needed to be re-built 9 years ago. But, I’m not complaining, because I love me some Ultima Online. And anything to make it look and play better, then I’m all for.
What’s good about this upgrade is that you don’t even have to BUY IT if you’re already a subscriber. I mean, it’s free. Super free. See, you can check it out here: Ultima Online - Kingdom Reborn files. Oh, and if you aren’t a subscriber, you can still download it for free. You’ll even get a free 14 day trial for all of your efforts. Aren’t you excited?
This trailer says everything about the game:
So, if you’re into playing old school games, but would feel better playing with a community of old school gamers, why don’t you check out this new release of Ultima Online? You might learn somethin’ these new school games will never teach you.
