Lord British Returns To Ultima Online

Thanks to Origin for their news release announcing Lord British is returning to the world of PC MMORPG Ultima Online. The article trails: "Talk circulates throughout the land of the return of a figure from Britannia's past, whose whereabouts have been shrouded in mystery for these many moons", and GameShark has contacted NCSoft Austin, where Ultima creator Richard 'Lord British' Garriott now works (and where he has even introduced Lord British's character into Lineage), and reports that "Richard Garriott... gave [Origin/EA] permission to reintroduce the character into the world of Ultima. Origin apparently made a deal with Richard that allowed them to use the character if they had Richard's blessings."

RIP "Lord British"

No Lord British = Not an Ultima
No Richard Garriot = Not Lord British

Thanks for the series Richard, I'm really looking forward to your next creations. Here's hoping they will be as influential as the past ones.

P.S. Think "single player"... wink wink :)
