    I'll never understand why they didn't invest in a proper new client for UO. Pretty amazing that it is still playable after all these years. Brings a tear to my eye just thinking about the fun I had playing.

    I have no problem paying a subscription for a game I enjoy.

    I don't understand people saying "I'll drop $60 for a new 8 hour campaign" but "I refuse to pay $15 a month for a game that I play for 40+ hours a month".

    Same intro for the past many years. Still looks nice.

    <3 UO on EA's servers. 18+ years going strong.

    Because with the $60 game, you can play the 8 hours of that game over whatever period you like. It can last 6-12 months or more if you like to play in small bursts. The game has a lot more value that way, instead of feeling you're forced to play it within that month to get your money's worth.

    Ahh I miss uo so much.

    Imop the devs should be forced to play 5 hours each day in uo before working on sota..

    Totaly worth any delay.

    I might be a bit bias but man what a game.

    I've kind of wish they would have taken the world map of sota and made it into the real spiritual successor to uo. I'm still hopeful this game will turn out.

    me ether, not enough context i guess.

    I ment more like the amount of money they must have gained from having the game still funnling in.

    im cool with subs.

    I prefer paying for a subscription, but sadly that model doesn't seem to work anymore. I will be really interested to see whether Camelot Unchained can attract enough subscribers using the subscription model.

    The tutorial should tell you how to PK.

    I would totally go and play UO again if they would do something about the now horrendous graphics.

    After loving the video of it for 3 minutes, fondly remembering the game for another 3 minutes, pondering on what I would do again playing the game for another 3 minutes while watching it...
    I then fell asleep on the 10th minute, because I was bored out of my mind thinking about the end result "being stuck playing in the same old world, the same old way with the same old ......zzZzzZZzzZzzzzzzz"

    The only reason why im not playing uo still is the 90' ghraphics and user interface. On a good note uo is the reasons why my family put $10000 into this game.

    Still have an active account in UO since Oct 1997. Rarely get on... thinking of canceling once SoTA comes out. I still remember the first days playing and the massive amount of people in towns. Now.. all the "old" preexpansion towns are ghost towns.

    I had a DAOC account, good game and fun. Decided only 1 MMORPG subscription was worth it - so I kept UO as I had the most invested into it at the time.

    I followed the Kickstarter for Camelot Unchained but never pledged once I read those words - subscription. No CU for me as long as they have that model in place.

    Just saying,,,

    Me to. I log in every couple days to get the last few skill points needed and see if any of my friends/neighbors have left. I thought I might cancel once SoTA went final wipe but I know I'll pay them until the servers get shut down.

    This is how you know a game was made right! 19 years laster with a subscription and people refuse to quit it.
