I remember when the UO2 trailer was the most baddest of rear end things I'd ever seen at the time. All that UO stuff in this matrixy steampunk future, all flipping round with swords etc. Didn't worry me that it didn't, well, show the game. Still the highlight of PC Gamer demo discs for me though.

My fondest memory of UO is doing Felucca champion spawns with my friends and being able to easily outrun all the reds that came to interfere because we had ADSL at a time when everyone else was still on 56k modems. Having broadband was literally a cheat code.

You ain't kidding. My parents opted for cable internet directly out of the gate, so when I played UO I could do things at literally twice or even triple the speed of people on 56k, and by the time people would catch me stealing poo poo out of their bag, I'd be a screen and a half away laughing my way to safety probably running face-first into a bear and getting mauled to death.

I remember once a Sage (green-robed OSI employees that would write and do quests) possessed Lord British to deliver a quest to a bunch of players, but accidentally removed Lord British's invulnerability flag, so one enterprising player lit him on fire and killed him, and all of the players lost their poo poo, claiming Lord Blackthorne had won. The Sage didn't know what to do so he jailed the killer and kicked everyone out of the castle, except he included all of the NPCs, and the castle was surrounded by a moat, so for like half a day there were a bunch of NPCs floating above the water haplessly attempting to commit to their walk cycles, but being unable to move because you can't move on water tiles and swimming doesn't exist in UO.
