Editing Ultima Online (section)

==Gameplay==
''Ultima Online'' continued the tradition of previous ''[[Ultima (series)|Ultima]]'' games in many ways, but due to advancing technology and the simple fact that it was Origin's first [[persistent world|persistent]] online game, many new game mechanics appeared. Since it was partially designed as a social and economic experiment, the game designers had to account for widespread player interaction as well as deal with the tradition of players feeling as if they were the center of attention, as had been the case in single-player games.{{Citation needed|date=December 2018}}

===Worlds===
''Ultima Online'' began with a single world, with specific expansion packs adding additional territory and new worlds. The second world was the "Lost Lands", often referred to by players as T2A due to the expansion's name, "The Second Age",<ref>{{Cite web |title=Lost Lands - UOGuide, the Ultima Online Encyclopedia |url=https://www.uoguide.com/Lost_Lands |access-date=2023-02-01 |website=www.uoguide.com}}</ref> with additional land, dungeons, creatures, and terrain. The third was Trammel, which was a mirror of the original ''Ultima Online'' map. The release of Trammel led the developers to distinguish the original world by making the environment more grim and naming it "Felucca".<ref name="CNETuor">{{cite web |url=http://reviews.cnet.com/pc-games/ultima-online-renaissance-pc/1707-9696_7-30976459.html |title=Ultima Online: Renaissance (PC) – PC Games – CNET Archive |publisher=Reviews.cnet.com |access-date=January 29, 2012 }}</ref> The two kinds of servers were "normal" servers with both Trammel (consensual PVP) and Felucca (non-consensual PVP) ruleset and "siege" servers with non-consensual PVP and no item insurance. Siege servers support one character slot on an account, limits to ways of traveling and have other rules which generally make them more challenging than other servers.<ref name="FrejaSP">{{cite web |url=http://uo.com/Players-Guide |title=Player's Guide |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121006065647/http://uo.com/Players-Guide |archive-date=October 6, 2012 |access-date=April 13, 2019}}</ref>
