Are any of us who have caught up with the Ultima series, especially Ultima Online? It was a DVO that we enjoyed very much, where we spent hours passing like water, Ultima Online, even if today DVOs have reached these points, we can say that Ultima laid the foundations.
The creator of this series is Richard Garriott, or Lord British, as he is more commonly known among the cast of Ultima; In an interview with PCGamesN , he said he was developing a new DVO. That must be great news for those who remember the old days, isn’t it? But there’s also a detail in this interview that might spoil our taste.
“To me, it’s not a really good NFT game,” said Todd Porter, who worked with Garriott. I haven’t really seen anything I feel like I’m playing any games,” Garriott said, adding that it’s only been a long time since the NFT became popular.
The pair’s approach to developing a blockchain game was different from the others. We are talking about the very early stages of the development of the game, it does not even have a name. However, they shared the knowledge that it has a format similar to Ultima, that it will be a top-looking, isometric RINK.
They used classical funds to provide the resources needed for the game, but they also intended to take advantage of the NFT land sale. This means players will be able to print the money and buy part of the game as an NFT if they wish. They say you can build your own inn, shop on this land, or even open a portal to your own dungeon.
Sales on eBay at the time of Ultima Online seem to have convinced Garriott that such a job could be done. I’ll tell you what, I’m excited to see a new Ultima (similar) game years from now, of course, but the issue of (extra) monetaryization of games is getting more and more frustrating, and I can’t help but point out.
