What EricL really looks like
Botsareus:
I mean as one space ship, or 1 to 3 people controlling the weapon systems of one space ship while 1 "drives" it .
Numsgil:
Again I say: Startport GE is entirely played with one character on one ship.
Botsareus:
Ok, I'll down-load it and check it out...

--- Quote from: Numsgil ---My favorite MMO of all time was Ultima Online. Most other games I play for at most a month, and get bored, and never play again. I played Ultima online, though, for probably a year all totalled, all at different times over the years. I wish newer MMOs had followed that train of thought instead of Everquests'.
Another good MMO: Starport GE (plus it's free). And last, A Tale in the Desert, which isn't free but it's very good.

Hah sorry to drudge up an old post, but I just saw this.
Hell yes, UO was my favourite MMO of all time I went through a phase of playing each new MMO trying to re-live my UO days but none came close, I have to admit everquest did eventually hold my interest for a few months but it took a while to get into after UO, and Eve Online got about 6 months subs from me spread over a number of years. But I played UO solidly for about 3 years, and made some very good friends. I no longer even try any of the new MMO’s they have all gone totally off track as far as I am concerned.
If I ever won the lottery, such that I could give up work, I would work on writing my own MMO and let people play for free and it would be very heavily influenced by UO and slightly by ATITD too.
Numsgil:
So you've played ATiTD? I actually really liked what they had going on. It held my interest for about a month, which doesn't seem long but WoW held by interest barely for 7 of my 10 day trial. Eve Online for about 7 days, too (I actually played when it first came out. And double actually, I interviewed with their NA branch in Atlanta that's working on a MMO based on dark fantasy themes) Sims Online was a few days, Dark age of camelot was maybe a month (my first taste of everquest clones).
UO, as I said, was closer to a year. They just had (and have) a depth of playability that isn't matched in other games.
