If so many of us love sandbox MMO's, why aren't we going back to Ultima Online? Time after time I see repeated posts about everyone's "perfect" game; and a lot of these posts lead straight to Ultima Online.

So here is a poll for you..

 

Forum Poll

Why haven't you gone back to Ultima Online?

Graphics are outdated
Game should be free or cost less than $12.95
I am the anti-EA
Waiting for a "hardcore" PvP "classic server
Tons of free servers, why bother paying?
Not enough quests
Elves? Ninjas? They ruined Ultima!
Hackers/Exploiters have run amok
It's just too old, may get laughed at by friends
Wait, I AM playing Ultima Online right now

You forget the option "there are even more people who do not like sandbox games and just want a good hack-n-slash".

You kill the Joe, you make some moe

Its an old game, chew on the same thing for years and you get tired of it.

Alot of us want somthing more modern.

Eve attracted plenty of sandbox customers as well.

Yes but the scope of those people are outside of this website. From what I gather, there seems to be a growing demand for a sandbox mmo within this small community. This poll was directed at said small community.

thats cause hack-n-slash is not an mmorpg, that would actually be considered a single player game, you can add multiplayer function and you have a game with a chat room and maybe someone to hack-n-slash with.

Beware the "Shadow Rogues"!

i honestly have to say that your right everyone does pretty much want a sandbox MMO but they want a new one, with a new story.  All games are at some point based around past and older games, Ultima Online has probably everything a game needs to have in it, and there is really not much more you can add to make it a better game as far as content.  But all that needs to be recreated maybe in a new universe or even in a familiar one, like Dragonlance maybe, even though thats associated with DnD you get the idea.

Beware the "Shadow Rogues"!

They just need to make classic servers.  Simple as that.

Correction:  that demand exists within the small segment of this small community represented by the select few boards within MMORPG.com you choose to read.

In other words, a gnat's eyebrow.

You are very frustrating to argue with. I will continue however...

It is safe to say that there are MMO fans outside of this website that also want a sandbox MMO. Go to other MMO boards and you will see this. Not ALL of them, but I am sure we can find some sandbox fans outside of the MMORPG site, dont ya think? lol

So what if my poll was directed at a "gnat's eyebrow". What's your point? That the poll is irrealevant? Fine. So is everything else. Aren't all posts here irrealevant?

It's to old of a game in the end for me. The game lags insanely for me and there is to much stop and go in terms of graphics lag. It's all leads back to the graphics and the actual client. As much as they try to change it the whole thing needs to be scrapped and completely redone from the ground up.
