A Review Of The Ultima Online Website

Role-playing games have increased in popularity and are leaping up everywhere online. You can easily find a game with a genre that fits well with your preference and playing style. There are games from vampires to fairies, with every possible niche covered in between. Websites abound with information geared to the role player, and Ultima Online is no exception to providing concise, clear information to new players and old alike.

The interface of the Ultima Online website is clean and simple. The reader isn't bombarded by Flash media or pop-up messages, nor is the site loaded with over stimulating ads. The colors and graphics are pleasing to the eye, a factor that draws readers to explore the site further. A line of runes at the top of the page lets players know this may be a Dungeons and Dragons style of game. Screen shots of an Ultima Online game clue readers in further to the genre, showing small soldiers battling to hold governance of a fortress.

Click on the 'New Player' section and there's a clear overview of the Ultima Online game, as well as a link to the player's guide and third party tools. Ultima Online isn't a free game, but new players are offered a free, 14-day trial to make sure they do want to pay to become a regular member, which is a nice option in a money-hungry world. A quick resume of how to get started playing Ultima Online doesn't overload the reader with 'too much information', another attractive aspect when so many sites feel they need to bombard new players from the start.
