This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Ultima Online LOL
yes, as a huge ultima nerd, i was excited for UO. after spending hours barely being able to do anything because of my 386 PC and 14.4 dialup speed, and then getting killed because of all the lag and losing everything, i said i guess i don't have the money to play this game, and left it
but that wasn't bethesda-- still origin at that point
It ain't even Bethesda's now. EA bought them, not Bethesda, or ZeniMax, or Microsoft.
there was some point in the not too distant past where i said "ok, everything is bullshit now" and stopped paying attention. ultima is EA now? ok. fuck EA, and fuck ultima
Yep. And their management is ultimately what led Richard Garriot to quit.
corporate bullshit. same shit with ken and roberta williams of old school sierra
As a child their games where always too difficult for me, so I preferred Lucas Arts adventures but looking back at them now they had some real gems. Games with... soul
ah lucas arts-- both grim fandango and xwing will always occupy a place in my heart
UO was pretty popular and good up until EA bought Origin in 2004.
