UO has a super robust eco system of private shards and server software. It’s kind of amazing. Pretty active development on things like ServUO or ModernUO servers. The client has been fully rewritten and actively developed with improvements on ClassicUO. All of these are open source as well.
For servers you have places that function entirely as different eras of UO like the Renaissance shard, or even entirely new content like what’s in Outlands.
There’s honestly a lot to be found out there and it’s really neat.
Does it still present the classic UO experience where as soon as you walk five steps into the wilderness, PKs descend on you, kill you in a few hits, and take all your stuff?
Ahh. the terror of walking into a cave and seeing nothing but inky black darkness and four lines of text pop up all at once
Corp Por

Always reminds me of this little ditty –
…on regs and runes I drift in the night
any place it gates is right
gate far
gate near
by a dungeon I reappear
well
you don’t know
what
we can find
why don’t you die for me little newb
on a magic Corp Por ride…
