When Ultima Online introduced Renaissance in March-April 2000 an essentially turned it into an really crappy looking 2-D version of everquest, I figured I'd try the better looking one. Before the Renaissance patch, Ultima Online was pretty much like a red Everquest server, only you could kill anyone at anytime an loot everything off peoples corpses. Ultima Online was the reason they made red servers. Only towns were safe in Ultima, if someone attacked you in a town you could call guards, the guards would instantly teleport an instantly kill anyone openly attacking another person. Best game ever made.

UO really was special. The item\loot system was perfect because there were no fundamental must-have items. A vanq halbard was awesome, but you didn't *have* to have one to win in PVP. You could recover quickly after a devastating loss. God I miss it.
Not to mention the housing system which no modern MMO has ever replicated. EQ2's instanced housing was so god damn lame by comparison.
