I'm not seeing what's impressive about the interview though. All I see is a bitter old schooler who can't accept change <--- that's written by an old schooler who thinks MMOs peaked at UO. I mean, is he fucking serious about bringing text back? There will always be a place for text adventurers and MMOs, but that doesn't mean their way is the right way. He blames graphically based MMOs as being limited. Well, I submit that text based MMOs are just as limited. After all, the limitations come from the human designing the place. If the human in either case is limited, the game will be. Posted by Malcolm on Jul. 23 2007,11:17
Text-based MMOGs will make a comeback right around the time command line Linux & Winblows swap market shares.

You know you're quoting me there? I fixed my original statement as the way I had it written made it seem like he said what I believe...(damn, that's confusing)QUOTE UO today sucks. Are you saying UO sucks now as opposed to its past or that UO sucks compared to today's MMOs? Posted by Malcolm on Jul. 23 2007,11:41
(Leisher @ Jul. 23 2007,13:23) QUOTE Are you saying UO sucks now as opposed to its past or that UO sucks compared to today's MMOs? Back in the "good ol' days" (which I'm sure is something of a debate in itself), UO reached a highwater mark that any MMOGs outside that timeframe (including UO) have yet to equal.

Agreed.That's our opinion, yes, but then again, we weren't raised in the "Time Out"/"Everyone's a Winner!" society. That's what UO had more than any other game, realistic human behavior. They should've put that shit on the box cover. Posted by GORDON on Jul. 23 2007,11:46
Yeah, present-day UO is a shadow of its own UO-1998 greatness.
