I’m sure for many it was exciting to see we have more things in store for Ultima beyond just rereleasing the classics through GoG, setting up a history site for all things Ultima, and continuing to support UO as it hits a major milestone next month –its 15th anniversary. I’m sure for others though, questions were raised. Why is BioWare not putting more development effort into UO […]
