Ultima X - Odyssey Officially Unveiled

Thanks to HomeLanFed for their initial report on the official unveiling of EA/Origin's new PC MMORPG, Ultima X: Odyssey. They say that the previously rumored title is "...a massively multiplayer game that was described as a 'sister' game to Ultima Online. The dev team promised that players will not have to worry about using macros in the game or beating up on tiny rats just to level up at the beginning." It's also confirmed that the game is "powered by Epic's Unreal engine", and "very action oriented", and much new information is expected as the EA-X Event continues on Friday. Update: 08/22 15:26 GMT by S : There's now an official press release, screenshots courtesy GameSpyDaily, and a 21mb trailer downloadable from Gamershell, Worthplaying, and via BitTorrent courtesy GameTab.

Well, there's the developers at the announcment. Check. Publisher. Check. Engine developers from Epic. Check. There's something still missing, what could it be? Oh, that's right... Lord British. I know I need to move on and just get over the fact that Richard isn't there anymore, but it's like a ship without a rudder. It's still a ship and it sails, but it lacks direction.
