von Sebastian,
Ultima Online 2 ist tot
Die Nachricht kam für alle völlig unerwartet: Ultima Worlds Online: Origin (UO2) wird nicht mehr weiter entwickelt. Wie auf der offiziellen Seite zu lesen ist, hat die Entscheidung den Hintergrund, dass man sich nicht Konkurrenz im eigenen Haus machen wollte. Die Zeit und das Geld von UO2 sollen nun in die Erweiterung und den Support des bisherigen Ultima Online und dessen Erweiterung Ultima Online: The Third Dawn fließen. EA und Origin bekräftigen aber, dass keinesfalls der Ausstieg aus dem Geschäft mit MMORPGs geplant sei.
Electronic Arts and Origin Systems have announced a plan that will increase their focus on Ultima Online and halt production of UWO: ORIGIN (UO2). The reason is simple, rather than creating UWO: ORIGIN (UO2) as a parallel world competing with UO, we´ve decided to put those resources into growing and improving the core offering for Ultima Online´s 230,000 loyal subscribers. In the near future and with the release next week of Ultima Online: Third Dawn, players will see new lands, new creatures, and a world that is continually evolving within Ultima Online.
