This game is long dead, my friend, or I wouldn't be playing Regnum. The bastards, they killed UO! It still runs but it has few things in common with the awesome and original game, which is simply the best multiplayer game ever made. It's crazy that being the first famous MMORPG and inspiration of all the first-gen MMOs, it is still unequaled, but it was awesome.

I know that 95% of those who played UO from beta (Shattered Legacy) to UO:Renaissance (2000) agree with me... if you search a bit on the net there are still tons of nostalgia threads on the pure awesomeness of UO before renaissance. You see, dev teams change, patches are made, games are ruined, (online) lives are broken . I will forever resent Electronic Arts for ruining Origin Systems and UO.

There are a few "private shards", ie amateur UO servers, aiming to recreate the best eras of UO, the original (the shard is called UO: Demise) and the best era imho, the second age (the shard is called UO: Divinity). Those shards are mostly PvP oriented, however the problem is that they lack the original numbers and community of UO (200k active accounts at the good times, and no kids, mostly mature players). Ahhhhh how I loved this game. It's like having played Chrono Trigger or FF6 and all the game copies get destroyed, and you know you will never be able to play them again... UO was that good, or maybe even better, and shared with thousands of players at any given time.
