With the expansion of Age of Shadows they took out the entire purpose to Player Versus Player combat. This game is rapidly becoming another clone like Everquest or World of Warcraft. This game was unique years ago and EA has destroyed it. EA has done nothing to help this game, it has only milked it for profit. The Samurai Edition was only added to attract more of the Asian player base. It added nothing unique or even interesting to Ultima Online. If you're looking for a unique MMORPG I suggest checking out the site www.uogamers.com.
This is the only game that I've ever rated below 2.0 and the rating is well justified.
