Bear in mind this was when I was in Junior high. The absolute freedom of being able to do whatever you want, the Fear and thrill of Pk's killing you and stealing all your equip was amazing. Easily my favorite MMO to this day, probably played and thought about this game more than any other. So many good memories of just sitting infront of the Brit Bank, and checking out the cool crap that people were wearing. Alot of the music files for me still bring back memories, Brit/Yew damn I miss that game.

Haha... me too.
I played that game way too freaking much. I still have an active account, which I log on to once every few months or something if that, but as other mentioned that game absolutely died when Publish 16 hit.
Played Pac 1997-2000, LS 2000-current (if I play), and Sonoma from 2001-2004.
RIP UO. They really destroyed that game. It is pretty ridiculous when an MMO like that can have such a lasting impact on so many people and the developers wanted nothing more than to destroy it. Kind of funny now that UO is completely in the toilet with regards to subscriptions numbers and has only a fraction of a percentage of their former market share.
Oh well, you reep what you sow, which is exactly what Electronic Arts did.
Best Computer game ever for me. Surefire #1.
Other games I've played which I loved:
Baldur's Gate II - Absolutely amazing and the expansion takes it to another level. Why isn't there a BG III?? Seriously.
Half life - Counterstrike sucked me in for a long time.
Civ Series - I've played it all since Civ I and they are great fun.
Warcraft II/C&C/Age of Empires - Loved all those Real time Stratagies. Tons of fun.
Not sure what it is about NWN that people really seem to love, I've seen a lot of people mention it, but I found it didn't even hold a candle to the BG series. I liked NWN 2 a lot better than 1, precisely because it played like a BG.
