Ultima X Previews

Aug 24, 2003 12:11pm CST tags: MMO, Ultima X: Oddysey
Both HomeLAN Fed and GameSpy are now offering their previews of Ultima X: Odessey, the new Unreal engine powered MMORPG from Origin and EA. Both previews are based on playtime with a build on display at the game's recent press event. There are also two video interview clips on UXO Stratics (thanks Blues News).
By far the best part of the Quest system is that it can be private. Many quests will spawn a private area for just you and your companions. So, if you're told to go to the underground hall of the dreaded mountain king, you won't reach his terrible throne room only to discover a crowd of other players waiting for him to respawn. A private copy of his dungeon will open up just for your and your friends, to live or die by your own means without interruption. Because of the dynamic difficulty and the choices you can make on each quest, no two missions will turn out the same for different groups of people.
