I dont like these sentimental nostalgia posts. For me UO was a mindless and empty grind, because there was…nothing! It was a barren world devoid of a story, meaningful quests or anything, for that matter (please dont reply with „But…“, because there were some pieces of content here and there, but it is near zero by modern standards). Some remember this emptyness as a great canvas for their fantasies of freedom and roleplay, I rember empty pointless grind and dealing with grifters. Runescape did much better job in creating that kind of UO-like MMO.
