hah ok again... i have played UO before... but i have recently picked up the game on a free server that includes all the expansions until the Samurai Empire and they have drastically changed the game...
Previously in UO gear and items meant little in the world of combat... a player with the best gear could easily get schooled by a person wearing crap that had more skill... and the best part... take all of their great gear afterwards...
UO set many, many precedents for the MMORPG world... player housing, skills, rp value, guild benefits... just over all immersion... you could literally do what you wanted to... the game was incredibly intuitive for its time (early 90s people come on...) in the sense that you were able to wash bloody bandages in water and reuse them (one of my all time favorite features) and fighting on horseback... if you were knocked off both you and your horse would fight the enemy...
the expansions added greater items, stats, skills, lands, housing opportunities and over all better graphics... personally the greatest feature is probably the housing changes... they basically packed on the Sims with the samurai empire expansion... allowing players to design a house and yard, leaving room for incredible variations...
these expansions combined with the inventive nature of loyal players have lead to some incredible free servers out there, filled with scripts for races, quests, items and tons of other things... so if you have some free time and just want to poke around in a fun MMO... check out UO... i personally play on this server... www.oblivion2.com ... and my character's name is Aido
