The end of the Ultima brand
Written by Warcraft News.
Once upon a time, in a previous millenium, there was a great series of single-player roleplaying games called Ultima. They were relatively open world compared to their competitors, and so it is not surprising that the series culminated in one of the first mass market MMORPGs, Ultima Online.

Written by Warcraft News.

We considered doing the show with just me hosting, but the prospect of an entire show dedicated to my poor choice in accents (is it Scottish, Russian, or pirate? I can’t tell either) and talking about tanking on a warrior in excruciating detail didn’t seem like the best move. …

Written by Warcraft News.
