EA Phenomic Revives Ultima:wow power leveling






Germany-based BattleForge developer EA Phenomic's latest project is Lord of Ultima, a browser-based title reviving the almost 30-year-old Ultima RPG franchise as an online strategy game.







A gamer playing on World of Warcraft aion gold servers in Taiwan has earned aion power leveling all 986 of the wow game’s wow power leveling achievements, reports MMO Champion.


In Lord of Ultima, players build and manage a unique city in a fantasy setting, interacting with other online gamers doing the same. The mechanics and presentation are similar to Blue Byte Software's The Settlers real-time strategy series, though it takes place in the Ultima universe. The game is currently available to play for free -- albeit as a limited closed beta.


That means the player, a level 80 wow gold Tauren Druid named 小灰 (”little ash”Wink, has conquered every dungeon, explored every corner of the game world, maxed out every profession skill and turned in a fair share of the game’s quests including all the seasonal tasks that pop up during special holiday events like the Midsummer Festival and Hallow’s End.


Electronic Arts planned at least two follow-ups to Ultima Online, Ultima Worlds Online: Origin and Ultima X: Odyssey, but terminated both projects as the publisher laid off and eventually shuttered developer Origin Systems. The company, however, released Ultima Online: Kingdom Reborn, a free client with updated graphics and a new interface in 2007.


Originally debuted in 1981 and created by Richard "Lord British" Garriott, the Ultima series has seen dozens of releases on PC, home consoles, and handhelds, and a popular online spin-off in the form of Ultima Online. UO was one of the first successful MMORPGs before the genre took off with World of Warcraft, boasting a 250,000+ subscriber base at its peak.


The player’s total doesn’t count wow power leveling feats of strength, the achievements that were retroactively rewarded for accomplishments before the expansion aion gold Wrath of the Lich King was released in 2008. Many of these particular achievements are now impossible to earn.



Lord of Ultima's developer EA Phenomic, which was purchased by Electronic Arts bestisdimoe in 2006 when it was named Phenomic Game Development, most recently released BattleForge last year, a free-to-play and card-based strategy PC game with microtransactions. Before the acquisition, the studio was best known for its SpellForce strategy and RPG series.

Neither Electronic Arts or EA Phenomic have announced details on Lord of Ultima's full release or planned pricing models.


So while this guy may have meticulously worked his way through nearly aion power leveling all the content in World of Warcraft, he didn’t play the game back in the day. So he’ll never nab the achievement my Night Elf Hunter grabbed for earning the lowly rank of Sergeant Major in PvP battles way back when. Noob.
