Gameplay feature: Character development - TrainingĬompared to the majority of current MMORPGs, which have become little more than EverQuest clones, the early years of Ultima Online were truly revolutionary.Constant updates are made available to further enhance the product. There are a variety of servers to play on, each allowing you to have 5 characters. Trades can also be conducted between players. The game uses gold currency to carry out transactions. Items and weapons of almost every kind populate the land. A huge variety of spells and potions are available. The mage's skill determines what level of spell he/she can cast. Just like in most RPGs, characters are advanced through skill, gained by fighting monsters in dungeons, or practicing a craft (or both). The game is presented top-down, and the game world is broken up of a huge mainland, and a number of islands. The game is open-ended to provide all flavors of an RPG, whether it be a warrior, mage, or merchant. Gamers create their virtual citizens of Britannia to follow a multitude of paths. The first game to popularize the Persistent Online World, Ultima Online is a online RPG world that borrows its story from the Ultima series of games.
