UO, or Ultima Online, is a sandbox MMO that offers players a unique and unparalleled gaming experience. Whether you prefer PvP or PvE, the game is meant to be played together, with players creating their own stories and shaping the world around them. No other game to this day has been able to achieve this. However, it's important to remember that the game must have rules to ensure that it isn't just a free-for-all and the Safe Space ruleset being our #1 priority here. The UOAlive team is dedicated to working together and communicating openly to provide the best possible experience for its players, and we are always willing to take risks and make big changes with the idea of bettering the server but also removing changes if they don't work.

But, honestly, what truly sets UO apart from other MMOs it is truly a magical sandbox MMO where the only mechanics you need are the freedom to roam and make your own decisions. The game allows you to use the world and the game to your advantage, and that is the magic of UO and the players. We highly encourage you to play without scripts. While using scripts can make the game more efficient, it can also take away from the magic of the game

I believe that the beauty of an MMO lies in its ability to evolve and grow with its players. We may cherish the memories and nostalgia of the past, but it's important to recognize that the true magic of these games is in the potential for new players to create their own experiences and shape the world in their own unique way. The ruins of the past serve as a reminder of where we came from, but they also provide the opportunity for something new to rise from the ashes. This is what makes an MMO truly alive, the constant ebb and flow of players and their stories, creating a dynamic and ever-evolving world. It is this potential for growth and new memories that makes the MMO experience truly special and worth returning to time and time again.

So, whether you're a seasoned veteran or a new player, I encourage you to take a step back, interact with other players, let some imagination into your game, and you will be amazed at what it can offer. Remember, the MMO experience is about creating your own story and shaping the world around you. It's about engaging with other players and creating new memories. It's about the magic of being part of a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game. So go out there and start creating!

I wanna update this:

You can play UO without scripts. But you won't be "the best". I believe that is a good thing. The problem is that many players who used to play the game want the most efficient route, because let's be honest we played the hell out of this game. But does that make for the best game-play? It is arguable that some people may enjoy it better than others, but UO is this magical sandbox mmo where the only mechanics I need are the freedom to roam and make my own decisions. In my entire time in UO I never once did high end PvE since the beta! I just interacted with people, the world, and the economy. Crazy. I was very good at using the world and game to my advantage. If the game offers it I want to situationally use it to my advantage. That is the magic of UO and the players.

This is why I don't believe in min maxing UO. I believe in interacting with the players, creating events, and engaging in the now overlooked magic of an "ONLINE" video game. It is fucking magic.

Take a step back, interact with the players, let some imagination into your game, and you will be amazed at what it can offer.

Remember this?


All I wanted to do when I saw that was to make a tavern and become an inn keeper. Ya know what? 1 year later I did it after all the trials and tribulations and it was awesome. But it took me a year to figure out how to get there. I didn't rush, I stayed blissfully ignorant. And it was where all my memories of this game remain. In those moments of ignorance and engagement with the world around me. I don't remember maxing out my skills. I remember opening my inn to my guild mates and listening to their banter as they sat at my digital tables, drinking my digital ale. Wow.. that was memorable!

Let's be honest if you played this game way back, you have seen nearly everything already and don't get jazzed by farming one more gold piece. But when a real human walks past you and the words "Hi" appear over their head, that is where you have a chance for magic.

Put a little trust in the MASSIVELY MULTI PLAYER ONLINE part of a roleplaying game.
