So my guess is that an Asian style UO might be more commerically viable .

So my guess is that an Asian style UO might be more commerically viable . So what you are saying is about 100k subs to the farmers/gold sellers all trying to sell the the 35k that live in NA? Personally I wouldn't hold my breath on the idea of another UO. We have seen already two failed attempts at this. Even if we did see a new release it would probibly turn into a level/quest grind. Doubtfully it would resemble the UO we all once played besides the names.
