Description
The best-selling role-playing series of all time makes its multi-player debut in Ultima Online. This revolutionary product allows literally thousands of people to exist simultaneously in the same fantasy game world over the Internet. Players can enjoy true social interaction with other participants in real time — form adventuring parties, engage in battles with other players, take on perilous quests, or chat in a tavern over a goblet of virtual wine. Other elements of the game constantly evolve — a functioning virtual ecology drives monsters to roam in search of food if it's scarce, and world events are inter-related through a closed economic system and limited resources. Ultima Online allows players to indulge in a continuous, ever-changing game world, complete with day and night, light and shadow effects, 3-D terrain and 16-bit color SVGA graphics.
