  yes, as a huge ultima nerd, i was excited for UO. after spending hours barely being able to do anything because of my 386 PC and 14.4 dialup speed, and then getting killed because of all the lag and losing everything, i said i guess i don’t have the money to play this game, and left it

  but that wasn’t bethesda– still origin at that point

    It ain’t even Bethesda’s now. EA bought them, not Bethesda, or ZeniMax, or Microsoft.

  UO was pretty popular and good up until EA bought Origin in 2004.
