A letter to EA-Mythic

by prcnetworks on June 27, 2007

Jeremy,

Please don’t take this the wrong way, but I felt pretty strongly that I should say my peace. As a subscriber to Ultima Online for coming on ten years now, I have a good amount of emotional investment in the franchise. Between Third Dawn, UO:R, and Ninjas.. Well let’s just say I’ve felt gypped by EA more then once.  The announcement of today of Kingdom Reborn going live, even though there are a large number of crippling bugs still in existence concerns me a great deal. I had been a herald for Kingdom Reborn, tooting the proverbial horn from the moment I heard about it.

I honestly believed that EA was going to finally provide us with a next gen engine that was bug free, and had the benefit of a long development process in which as many bugs as possible were addressed. Now, I realize you guys are dealing with years and years of code, and revisions upon revisions to that code. I understand the huge project that this facelift is. However, I cannot help but feel that EA has shoved this title out the door much like Pagan, and Ascension.  

Please, tell me this isn’t so, tell me I’m just over reacting and everything is fine.
