Mythic To Assist Ultima Online Team 28
Gamasutra reports that Mythic will be assisting the UO team, now that they're both a part of the EA family. "The short website message indicates that the existing Ultima Online team will be working together with Mythic, best known for their work on the Dark Age of Camelot MMO, to 'forge Britannia's future.'" Fans of the venerable MMOG should be happiest, though, with speculation that the company will be assisting with a sequel or update to the world of Britannia.

Switch from wow to uo? bwahaha.. Uo is a sinking ship. Its been sinking for years and wow put the last cannonball through their hold. EA killed that game. UO2 was designed like over 5 years ago and scrapped. It was so horrible that they just rolled some of the better features it into the current game and made a 3d client out of it. A 3d client where you could stack things on the 2d client and then not see them on the 3d one. That was great fun. Lots of little bugs like that. I remember reading something that no more than like 2% of the playerbase actually used the 3d client for any length of time. Personally i always thought they should have improved ship travel. The fact that ships were the biggest dupe/leveling tool in the game probably made them shy away from introducing features there. Still some massive ship to ship battles with pirates and shit could have really saved that game.
No ones moving back to UO. Uo was an amazing game 8 years ago but people generally like to move forward in technology not backwards. The only things EA EVER added to that game were stupid little trinkets (holliday bags, fake rares etc) and overpowered weaponry ( i remember when invulnerable meant something ) just so people think its changing. It isnt. No one wants a crappy 3d client bolted onto a 2d mmorpg. Or to put it another way - hey EA, 1997 called, they want their mmorpg back.
