Comment on Why the original, 1999 version of EverQuest is still one of the best MMOs to play today

UO has a super robust eco system of private shards and server software. It’s kind of amazing. Pretty active development on things like ServUO or ModernUO servers. The client has been fully rewritten and actively developed with improvements on ClassicUO. All of these are open source as well.

For servers you have places that function entirely as different eras of UO like the Renaissance shard, or even entirely new content like what’s in Outlands.

There’s honestly a lot to be found out there and it’s really neat.

Does it still present the classic UO experience where as soon as you walk five steps into the wilderness, PKs descend on you, kill you in a few hits, and take all your stuff?

  Always reminds me of this little ditty –
  
  …on regs and runes I drift in the night
  
  any place it gates is right
  
  gate far
  
  gate near
  
  by a dungeon I reappear
  
  well
  
  you don’t know
  
  what
  
  we can find
  
  why don’t you die for me little newb
  
  on a magic Corp Por ride…
