Huh, I took down the server since there was no interest at all.
There's not much to it, really, besides nostalgia.The game has a weird perspective, inspired by Ultima VI (not 4, like I said in the OP, I misremembered), and it used to be considered hardcore due it's PVP rules: you could attack other players pretty much anywhere. That, and a harsh death penalty that erases days of grinding. Besides that, quest design was quite novel, if kinda obtuse, making the game feel full of mystery and interesting the explore.Nowadays, at least from what I've seen from the current version, it feels like a Diablo-lite. Most penalties can be mitigated somewhat, they are opening new worlds constantly, making players rush into them to see who gets first in the leaderboards, etc.This video summarises it quite nicely (the current state of things, not the old experience): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwwMhf4bIAY
