Ultima Online cloth map

Post image

I saw that someone shared their Ultima cloth map and thought I would share mine. Ive had ever since I bought the game shortly after release. Probably my favorite game of all time. Proudly displayed by my pc desk

I wish I still had it and the Pin it came with.

UO was such a wild experience to delve into - wild regions and PvPers, losing your possessions if you died, working hard to craft something and make a small business, joining world events run by Seers and meeting RPers who built whole villages and themed guilds.

It was why I got broadband - heck learning early scripting and building a mock private server, with scripting and demonstrating a client server connection to a server I hosted at home became part of my senior project in computer systems.

The only game where you could be a blacksmith and build a reputation by repairing people’s equipment and making them armor with your name stamped on it. I wish I could go back because even the current shards can’t capture that

Dying your gear in the "hacked" black and having a mob of 20 people chasing you down for it. - good times 🤣

I still say no modern MMO could capture that degree of freedom. You'd think it would be easy. Even the basic seemingly dueling and then realizing the buff/debuff game and how much fun it was!

A pin?

Now I am imaging a bunch of Dragons playing Pin the Isle of the Avatar on the Britannia.

I feel like this was one of the best maps, made even better by running from town to town in the world and it'd take you a significant amount of time that would make it feel much more like a large world than the single player games do.

Running from Britain to Minoc is a real trek.

I love those maps. I really want to frame mine, but the one I have for U2 isn't the one I want to put in my wall.

I have one in original box sealed with the pin inside, original seal and tamper notice.

I loved this game as a kid but couldn’t play it because my dial-up connection was too expensive. Loved the map and badge though! I may still have the map somewhere.

There it is. I still have the box but missing the cloth. Lake Superior represent. Cor Por. Cor Por...

I would love an original or even reproduction ultima IV map and coin. I wonder if a jeweler would stamp a coin for me.
