Ultima Online

Stygian Abyss.

It was originally supposed to come out this past summer, but was pushed back. Anyone know any info on its current state, or when EA plans to release it?

Also, do you look forward to it ,or not, and why?

You should know better than that!

EA doesn't tell its loyal customers anything. And it will be a cold day in hell before they give us a date.

Are they doing a remake??

That game was sweeet... wasn't it one of the first 3d RPGs?

Yes it was. I am looking forward to playing the gargoyle race, and exploring a vauguely touched on part of Ultima Lore.

Sadly, I believe you are mostly right. They probably won't release any info or a release date, till right before release.

I can't wait until Stygian Abyss is released.  There's been rumor that the destruction of Magician is a precursor to SA.  Although I'm not sure, I think I remember reading somewhere that the entrance to the void should be somewhere on Fire Island if they stick with the UO lore.  I also read of some changes supposedly happening in January, but I doubt that with the loss of some devs and the rest moving to Virginia.  I hope they take their time on this expansion and use it as a way to put some life back into the game.  I liked the ML expansion, but it seemed it was only a temporary boost to the game.

I am glad they are delaying the release.  I am really looking forward to it, but I have respect for EA for not rushing it out to publish just to meet deadline.  I did read a post from some guild on stratics who talked about the expansion.  EA allowed the guild to visit their building for a tour, and they seemed to be pretty impressed with what they saw.

Radiohead took four and a half years to release a well made record.  So I can wait for SA.

Looks like there is some pretty moderate activity here.

True, some of the posters have interesting ideas.

As all the developers were moved and Stygian Abyss delayed, its future is uncertain at the moment.

After the KR fiascoo I guess MythicEA will evaluate the game again and decide to put out the expansion or just put it into auto run mode.
