Just my two cents. yeah and Half-Life was Valve's first game, etc etc. The trolls choose to ignore the obvious facts in favour of irrelevant minutia, unfounded speculation, and blatant lies, often all three in the one response. the level of delusion can be really quite impressive.

To add 2 cents, wasn't Ultima already a well established IP and, having not played Ultima Online, was the gameplay so different from the previous versions, or did they just move the IP into an MMO setting? Otherwise, yes, every company that is making money off of games today started with a "first game". -mklinic "There's a point I think we're missing.

Origin might have been new to the concept of MMO's but at the time UO team was formed it was one of the premium game development companies. They weren't starting things from scratch - they had already some parts of the engine coming from old Ultimas, some artwork as well and very experienced and talented in house crew. Grabbing experienced people who had been already involved in MUD's for a good while wasn't problem to them back on those days. Raph Koster for example was considered a MUD veteran with several projects he had participated, even if mostly volunteer ones. So IMHO you can't even remotely compare the Darkfall team with the UO team at Origin in the time they started. Playing: Vanguard Played: UO, DaoC, Horizons, Ryzom, WAR, LotRO, Eve...
