Nah UO isnt a disaster Ut, the only people who really think it is are just the old original players that hate what it has become. I logged into UO about 4-5 months ago and those still playing happen to really love what EA has done and is doing with the game. I notice most of them though have only played for a few years at most.. I know a few that played on opening day like I did that still play but those people are few and far between.
They have tried to take alot of whats popular from other games and add them to UO which is why the current 150k or whatever player base loves it.. and those of us that loved UO for what it was hate it. You use to be able to dress your character based off style and still be a monster in PvP and PvE. Now its all about stats and resists, and artifacts.
Truth be told its all great additions. Its added alot of life into the game but as someone who played the original Ultima 1 (dating myself I know) it feels EA is finally driving the final nails in the Ultima series coffin.. and its just a little hard to watch
