U/O compared to other mmorpg?

User Rating: 6.2 | Ultima Online: Age of Shadows PC
If you were to compare most other mmorpg's to U/O you would find that the graphics are very basic. However what the game lacks in graphics it makes up in game play. A person can spend countless hours playing and still just touch the basics of the game. Most people (now days) want to play a hack/slash type rpg. If you are one of these people then this game is not really for you. The game allows a player to decide on what his/her job will be through out the game. what I mean by that is a person concentrates on his/her stats to make the char. better at the profession he/she choices. Example. If you start out as an miner you would concentrate on bringing your mining skill up. It goes a lot more in depth then just that to bring that skill up. You have to work on bringing your basic stats up to produce better results in mining.
The only other problem that I see in U/O other than the graphics would be, the time it takes a person to level up in stats. This game is one that a person must dedicate a lot of time to. Its not one that you can just play a couple hours and expect to kick butt. It can take (literally) a couple months of dedicated playing to notice a differance on how you char. performs in U/O.
