I plan to get back into this game, even if I end up playing entirely solo. I was one of the really early players (Bob Star) when the community had like 30 or so active players and the game hadn't been finished. It was one of the most enjoyable gaming experiences I've ever had. Raiding the tombs with a group was definitely a highlight.
I don't know how active I will be, but I'm hoping to beat the game again. I beat it twice in the early days of U6O, but my memory is fuzzy on some parts... plus some new dungeons have been added. Should be a lot of fun. I encourage anyone to play Ultima 6 this way, even if it's solo. Bugs have been fixed, there's more content and you might have some others jump in and help out. Remember to use your buckets effectively people!
