R.I.P Ultima Online ?

In it, I talk about why I think UO is in serious long-term trouble, and what can be done to possibly reverse the trend and rescue the game." From the article: "Admittedly when something is very large, its demise often takes a considerable period of time...The Titanic took something like four hours to sink after initially striking the iceberg. But there are a couple of reasons why I believe that from a long term market share perspective, the game could be in trouble."

More like "immature fanbois of Lum's" kicking boy. Lum and I seem to get along just fine.

Thanks.

>Predicting the end of UO again, eh Brucie?

When did I predict it the first time?

For that matter, I'm not exactly predicting it now, either. Not a firm date, anyway; all MMOGs come to an end eventually. Just don't expect UO to go up to 500,000 subscribers.
