UOAlive is bound to be the future of UO. So if you're looking to relive the good times from back then, or just want to play the greatest free-form MMORPG ever made, check this out: http://uoalive.com

  • Great gameplay backed up by extensive website data about the live game world makes this server truly the best.

People get inspired by others who are having a good time, so if you can explain to people or show people exactly how much you enjoy your time in Ultima inviting others to join you will be a piece of cake!
