>whats the appeal of these games?
Massive RPG (for their time) that required a lot of player involvement to enjoy/complete (use of imagination, drawing your own maps, writing down hints/clues).

Why did they stop making games then if it was so good for its time, it could have been the West's Final Fantasy

>>376223515
because they were bought by EA who then proceeded to butcher the studio when Ultima Online made them a ton of money

>>376223515
They weren't selling massive amounts, online guides rendered drawing your own maps and taking notes useless, and people don't have time to fill in the gaps with their imagination, they want to be spoonfed story, character development, etc.

And UO was great for its time also, but look at where modern MMOs are now and you'll see why that is also dead.

Shouldn't have sold their company then, what'd they expect

No, if you didn't play them way back you probably will not enjoy them.

Giving them attention is what they want. That said, they at least contributed to the thread while you fag it up.
