Playing Ultimate Online for the first time was incredible. A MUD with full graphics! thousands of people online at once!
But mostly just the mystery of that unknown world. Using just the printed map that came in the box I decided to walk between the town I started and another town. Such an adventure, getting chased by wild animals, meeting real people some friendly some not. And finding that the map wasn’t exactly accurate.
And later on getting together groups of people to adventure into a dungeon. Including the all important wizard who would be able to open a gate so we didn’t have to walk all the way there (after they tried and failed a few times, grumbling about how many regents it was using). The the absolute chaos as we got word from other fleeing players that there was a murderer (a player who’s name had turned red because of the number of other players they had killed) further down in the dungeon. Should we cut our losses and gate back out or were we a strong enough group to take them on?
