    UO has a super robust eco system of private shards and server software. It’s kind of amazing. Pretty active development on things like ServUO or ModernUO servers. The client has been fully rewritten and actively developed with improvements on ClassicUO. All of these are open source as well.

    For servers you have places that function entirely as different eras of UO like the Renaissance shard, or even entirely new content like what’s in Outlands.

    There’s honestly a lot to be found out there and it’s really neat.

      Does it still present the classic UO experience where as soon as you walk five steps into the wilderness, PKs descend on you, kill you in a few hits, and take all your stuff?

        Ahh. the terror of walking into a cave and seeing nothing but inky black darkness and four lines of text pop up all at once

               Corp Por
        
                             Corp Por
        
                                                           Corp Por
        
        
                Corp Por
        

        Always reminds me of this little ditty –

        …on regs and runes I drift in the night

        any place it gates is right

        gate far

        gate near

        by a dungeon I reappear

        well

        you don’t know

        what

        we can find

        why don’t you die for me little newb

        on a magic Corp Por ride…
