Arcadian over at Lum the Mad posted a great article about the turmoil surrounding Factions in UO. Even if you don't play the game, it's interesting to see the drama unfold.

Previews | Ultima: Third Dawn |

Daily Radar has just posted a preview of the UO expansion Ultima Online: Third Dawn. The preview contains 3 new screens, and this quotage: In addition to the look and feel, a new land has been added -- Ilshenar, which is geared for more advanced players. The monsters that inhabit the area are typically powerful and in groups, and there are no guards and very limited settlements. Lone characters can quickly be overwhelmed in the densely populated areas and with no ability to gate or recall from a fight, it's either win or outrun the enemy. Even advanced parties are in jeopardy, as elder land wyrms and demons roam around accompanied by other nasty denizens. And let's not forget the gazer town, or the fallen city that holds "The Lord of the Abyss" and more nasties than can easily be counted. As an added bonus to people concerned with aesthetics, there will be no new housing on Ilshenar. There will be new monsters, armor and weapons, though, throughout all of the game, not just in Ilshenar. There won't, however, be changes in terms of gameplay; this will be the same UO as that being played right now. You can read the whole preview here.

T Liam from Computer Gaming World tells all as he recounts his Massively Multiplayer Memories. I think he's way off base, here, however, by somehow equating Doom LAN play with the MM revolution. He mentions MUDs, but only in passing, completely missing the point.
