I close my eyes and am transported to a 12 year old version of myself. I am taking another sick day off school due to not fitting in, afraid of the other kids who just seem so confident. I take solace in the sound of the internet dialling, knowing that soon I will be able to escape this cruel world that I feel so lost in. The sweet inviting sound of this melody welcomes me into a world much different to the one I am used to, with endless possibilities and adventures to be had. I meet with friends I have met along the way, simple pleasures such as farming lumber for the morning, together we make a killing due to playing on an Aussie server but everyone else working or being at school. Plenty of goodies for us! This game brought comfort to me during a time of great difficulty, with family problems and lack of support. Now, I am very different to that scrawny, short terrified kid. I am very strong, very attractive (you can take my word for it) very successful. I have an amazing family, many friends, beautiful wife and daughter. However, this music takes me back to that comforting feeling I once had, so many emotions flood my brain. In the end I feel only peace. Thank you UO, and to the friends I made there, a moment forever lost in time.
@@copycatt2579 rust is good but UO is completely different. Greatest mmo of all time. The pvp still hasn’t been touched by another game. I know this is all subjective so it’s all imo
@@Nate-lp2cu I agree but from the standpoint of looting peoples houses, teaming up, and dying and loosing your stuff I get the same feeling watching rust videos as I did playing UO.
Started playing and a buddies house, first time i loaded it on my new computer and started it I was rolling on the floor screaming when this song started
There will never be another game and era like this. I feel lucky to be a part of UO experience in the early internet era. I genuinely feel sorry for anyone who is never going to experience something like this. No matter how hard we try to recreate the same game, it's never going to be the same experience. Times have changed, we have changed, our lives have dramatically changed. But I am glad that at least I experienced this.
must have been amazing it was new you could meet people around the world must have been magical when it was new no its nothing special anymore i dont really talk to other players in games these days
Always send shivers down my spine, no experience has ever been better than this while playing at the computer, in search for a similar thing since late 90's. Quite sure I'll never find it, gotta go back to it from time to time just to remember what the greatest game ever created in human history feels like.
come to legendsofultima.online/ They created the entire UO map inside of the unity engine (using the legends of aria client). They just released the map of Britannia 2 days ago after 3 years of creation. It is very cool and everyone is a noob all over again (they did a mostly server wipe when they opened the new map).
❤ I was not there, but I was for a day. And it left an imprint on my soul and I have to play every Ultima game that I can, even if some are better than others, even WAY better than others. When I was a kid, I went to my Dads friends house and they let me play this game on their PC for a while. After that, I bought the Samurai one at a game store and I didnt know that I needed a subscription to play it.... I was very young. So I never got to play it on my own, but now I own every Ultima game on GOG. :)
This is a great video well made it shows all the old artwork from the game! I always remember they were going to shut down Chesapeake shard and I was playing on Atlantic and all of a sudden all these players rushed Britain and started screaming about Chesapeake being shut down! I remember they were spamming “THEY MAY TAKE OUR LIVES BUT THEY WILL NEVER TAKE CHES!” Was a riot and the GMs had to come down and threaten everyone!
I remember my first experience in The City of Britain. It was running across a player with a tamed Dragon and talking to that person. It was the most amazing thing I had ever seen in video gaming. I play "UO Outlands" now. A great creation using all of the original UO Online content plus much more.
I remember learning about this and missed the alpha testing sign-ups by like a couple of days. Not that I would have been guaranteed a spot, but I remember young me being crushed. I had played the older Ultima games (especially 6) and was in love with the idea of the game. Fast forward a bit, I ended up telling all my friends about it, and they told their friends. We had loads of people on and it was an amazing experience. And experience is a good word for it. Being a humble smith that became known and trusted, guild wars, IDOCs, the exasperation of losing a boat full of stuff after a thief stole the key, PvP at the crossroads, GMs asking me to stop blocking passages with loads of furniture, having games with locals to award them hundreds of thousands in gold, realizing there are other people at the other end and feeling bad for murdering someone's pack horse that they worked hard to fill with ingots, Abyss - the list goes on and on. And anyone who played this no doubt has dozens and dozens of stories to share. It really was an experience, and one I've not captured since. It had a lot to do with being a pretty early MMO, learning the ropes, and all that no doubt. But it is a fond memory that will no doubt stick with me forever. --a former resident of Chesapeake (Abyss, and Siege).
Same but with the road out of Skara Brae on lake superior... funny how once you master all the monsters and dungeons, you turn to the hardest prey ... other humans
That's my favourite too. Currently playing ArcheAge, and the artistry skill allows you to play songs. I'm going to have to convert some of these MIDIs to MML so I can play them
outlands is 100% toxic.. You can look up vids on youtube about extortion and a recent players castle that got deleted by the devs with no compensation. Automatic stealing bots and PK's that embody the worst of incel behavior.
In Gedenken an Stormlord, der erste Taimer, den ich kannte, der Taiming auf 120 brachte, in dem er wirklich jeden Tag einloggte und einfach nur spielte. Ganz ohne Hilfstools. Waren schöne Zeiten mit dir... Ruhe in Frieden alter Freund
I don't remember these soundtracks sounding so high quality. I know they're exported from MIDIs, but still. This is the best sounding playlist on TH-cam. Thank you for the nostalgia, they sound fantastic on my HiFi setup.
Because most people back then (including me) played them by using the MS GS wavetable synth.. which is horrible by all means. Even today if you download the original MIDI and play it on Win 10 it will sound horrible. The composers of the music used the Roland SC-55 which is far superior .. and the reason I made this video by using a SC-55 soundfont.
@@seanbean3070 Download the MIDIs and play them in Windows.. the default MIDI synth of Windows is how most people experienced the 'original' music on their PC at the time.
Nostalgia. AOL Legends! The feeling that I got, when getting my first Glacier staff from the Ice serpents (used to farm them day & night) is still vivid. Or the helmet from the efreets (spelling? it's been long).
It's hard to believe how this music evokes such powerful emotions from me. I don't just feel nostalgia for this game but for a more innocent pre 9-11 world and a younger innocent version of myself.
Man I miss this game. Nothing like rolling up on other guilds houses/castles. Also loved hanging out and dueling at all the hotspots mmo ever imo. The pvp was fantastic
I remember I had just joined the game, someone gave me this thing called a "blessed item deed". No idea what is was, thankfully another generous player traded me a boat for my deed.... lol but it was worth it, I remember first time setting sail. It really felt real.
INteresting note, there are alternate versions of some of these midis as I think there was an error in putting incomplete versions in the main MIDI directory while some of the other directories like the AWE sound font ones had the correct versions. Cove I believe suffered from this problem, as did Nujelm I think. Magincia might have as well, sorry it has been a LONG time since I went through all of these.
Glad I found this, most my youth online memories are from UO. Gave so many hours to it, then trammel released and then EQ and my friends left for EQ and it was never the same. RIP logicbomb, phyer, el barto, cohok, theraven, and my boy Thyme that got some ungodly gear in Asheron’s call for being some sort of game journalist at that time. Fuxalot signing off, those were the good days of the internet and online gaming. Oh yeah, can’t forget badfish, hope you’re doing well bro. ❤
Oh fuck Eric myst, can’t forget you. You were the youngest at the time but last I heard you were a pharmacist, hope you’re still doing well buddy. This video made me really feel how it suck’s knowing you’re old.
I was 11 or 12 when I read about Ultima Online in a magazine, it sounded so magical so I sent away for a copy of The Second Age which took forever to arrive. Boy was it a blast, first day I baked bread and sold it to an actual person. Blew my mind, Much thievery and house collapses followed. It's a shame the genre followed the EQ model, I guess theres just no money in an open sandbox mmo. Elder scrolls would have been great for it but nope another EQ clone. Oh well, the memories are cherished. Create1 still gives me goosebumps.
Yup..I was 18 when I read about it also in a magazine. There was only a small snipped about it but I knew right there and then that this was going to be a groundbreaking experience. A year later a friend invited me to play on a free shard.. it was not the original OSI experience but it was still awesome.
Very nice compilation, and the screenies bring back such memories. I have a playlist that I put together myself of many of the themes, to play to fall asleep to, or to read by, but this one does it all nicely in one video. Kudos for the lack of ads (very important if you are trying to go to sleep!) I do wish the sound level were more uniform throughout, though. Maybe next time?
Thanks.. the problem is the MIDIs themselves.. they have varying degrees of volume, some are way too loud.. I could've fixed them but then it wouldn't have been the original MIDIs anymore :)
Quel jeu (long): Rencontrer des gens en personne de la même région qui, par hasard sont dans la même ville et sur le même serveur (Catskills), aller à la rencontre d'un ami UO gérant de resto sur le broadwalk d'Atlantic city, vivre des moments inédits à ce nouveau jeu sur un modem plus lent que les meilleurs PK, ont été des ancrages de souvenirs importants. La réminescence de ces derniers, suite à la lecture de tous les commentaires ici, délectables, sont à la fois une joie, une délivrance, un échappatoire, une tristesse, une colère.. Pour faire court, c'était le début de quelque chose de nouveau et de puissant dans ma petite vie. Certes, les mots manquent. "Shroud of the avatar"..., j'aurais espéré voir un engouement ou une suite aussi prometteuse, mais non. Heureusement Uo a eu une fin. Cette fin peut se réanimer par contre. Je le constate. Il s'agiera maintenant de bien cadrer et limiter cette ferveur, cette passion. C'était difficile pour moi avec UO.
Was? Still is. If you miss UO check out Ultima Online Outlands. It's an amazing server and the developers care about the community and update the game on a weekly basis. I played UO from 97-2003 OSI and then switched to UO-Hybrid after the addition of Trammel ruined the feel and fun of OSI servers. Hybrid was cool for several years but eventually the population declined and the server felt dead most of the time. From 2008 to 2019 I was without UO and was sad to say goodbye but a little over a year ago I heard about Outlands and I've been playing it every singe day since. So if you have some time. Check it out and you'll be glad you did if you were truly a die hard fan of Ultima Online. Even better is the fact that the game no longer has the choppy lag it used to have. Now it's liquid smooth when playing with the classic UO client that's built in with Razor. www.uooutlands.com
I loved this game back in the day until my house collapsed while I was on a one week holiday, despite me updating it literally the day before I left. That was when I stopped originally. My ranger armour.......... wonder who has it now?
I can honestly say we will never have a gaming experience like Vanilla UO ever again...so much fun! Also Check out the UO outlands server!!! started in 2018 TONS of players!
UO Outlands is full of people all the time. Like you said I myself will never the same gaming experience from when I entered Britainnia the first time. It was a blast.
I'm now 30 yrs old with a family and I remember playing this game as a small child in 1998. I left the game in 2008 and never played another MMORPG (WoW is terrible btw) This game was great Hulk from Sonoma
I've been producing hip hop/trap and other genres of music for 20 years. I was also a HUGE fan of Ultima Online and I've recently produced some remixes using samples from the T2A music from UO. If you're at all down to hear any of them just shoot me a message on Discord and I'll send you some of the MP3s. Suicide#7924 is my Discord ID. Much love! 😎
Hello I wanted to say I find these songs, which I really like, feeling not as good as the midi originals because of too much reverb setting in general. Also thank you very much for sharing this ^^
Hello , these are the MIDI originals taken from the T2A CD. MIDIs are just notes, they don't contain any sound. Then it all comes down to what 'synth' you use to play them. In this case it is a soundfont of Roland SC-55 as the composers used it to create them in the first place. Of course if you play them in a different setup they can sound quite different with a different reverb setting. At the end of the day, play the MIDIs where you find them best :)
@@bestretrogamessoundtracks6685 Hey, I am familiar with midi stuff. I wanted to say many of the songs (which I find very good pieces) perform worse because too much reverb or maybe no good mix compared to the simple original sound. It's like better sound but something lost at the end. Thank you again^^
@@carlesriberaberenguer7469 There is no such thing as 'simple original sound' when it comes down to MIDI :). You need to be more specific.. which MIDI synthesizer and with which settings would you consider to be the 'simple original sound'? Maybe you used to listen to these on the Microsoft Wavetable Synthesizer as most people did.. so you are not used to the Roland SC-55 sound.
Are there even any games out there like this anymore? That's not a rhetorical question. I'd really like to know. I've played Everquest, WoW, Rift, Warhammer Online, and a variety of others that I can't remember and none of them had the "just go play, have fun, explore" mentality that UO did.
Well, if I were to seriously play a MMORPG these days.. I would probably just find the best T2A UO shard (there are a few with hundreds of players) and re-experience Ultima Online all over again. Other than that, the only MMORPG game I play casually these days is Elite Dangerous, which is pretty nice.
Hello , download the MIDIs and then use some tool to display the MIDI as sheet music. The MIDIs are in fact just that.. sheet music.. which is then used as an input to a MIDI synthesizer.
@@bestretrogamessoundtracks6685 thanks for the reply, I have tried something similar but I think i downloaded the mp3 and then used a converter which formatted it to sheet music, however, it didn't separate the tracks so it was a bit off. Perhaps if I can locate the actual midi files and try again it will actually work. Thanks again.

I close my eyes and am transported to a 12 year old version of myself. I am taking another sick day off school due to not fitting in, afraid of the other kids who just seem so confident. I take solace in the sound of the internet dialling, knowing that soon I will be able to escape this cruel world that I feel so lost in.

I meet with friends I have met along the way, simple pleasures such as farming lumber for the morning, together we make a killing due to playing on an Aussie server but everyone else working or being at school. Plenty of goodies for us!
This game brought comfort to me during a time of great difficulty, with family problems and lack of support. Now, I am very different to that scrawny, short terrified kid.

Super nostalgic! No other MMO has even come close to the immersion I had with UO.
Check out Rust. It’s first person but the pvp and loot concept is similar. If I was still a kid I’d be as addicted to rust as I was UO.
@@copycatt2579 rust is good but UO is completely different. Greatest mmo of all time. The pvp still hasn’t been touched by another game. I know this is all subjective so it’s all imo

La réminescence de ces derniers, suite à la lecture de tous les commentaires ici, délectables, sont à la fois une joie, une délivrance, un échappatoire, une tristesse, une colère..
Pour faire court, c'était le début de quelque chose de nouveau et de puissant dans ma petite vie. Certes, les mots manquent.
"Shroud of the avatar"..., j'aurais espéré voir un engouement ou une suite aussi prometteuse, mais non.
Heureusement Uo a eu une fin. Cette fin peut se réanimer par contre. Je le constate. Il s'agiera maintenant de bien cadrer et limiter cette ferveur, cette passion.
C'était difficile pour moi avec UO.
What an MMO it was
Was? Still is. If you miss UO check out Ultima Online Outlands.
It's an amazing server and the developers care about the community
and update the game on a weekly basis. I played UO from 97-2003 OSI
and then switched to UO-Hybrid after the addition of Trammel ruined the
feel and fun of OSI servers. Hybrid was cool for several years but eventually
the population declined and the server felt dead most of the time.
From 2008 to 2019 I was without UO and was sad to say goodbye but a little
over a year ago I heard about Outlands and I've been playing it every singe day
since. So if you have some time. Check it out and you'll be glad you did if you
were truly a die hard fan of Ultima Online. Even better is the fact that the game
no longer has the choppy lag it used to have. Now it's liquid smooth when
playing with the classic UO client that's built in with Razor.

Ahh, OldUlt4&5...my favorite jam.
I loved this game back in the day until my house collapsed while I was on a one week holiday, despite me updating it literally the day before I left. That was when I stopped originally. My ranger armour.......... wonder who has it now?
Meravigliose, ti trasportano in un altro mondo :)
Que nostalgia boa se ta doido... Chega saiu uma lagrima dos olhos... Época boa viu, que recordação boa...
T2A's music were much better than the newer version.
I can honestly say we will never have a gaming experience like Vanilla UO ever again...so much fun!
Also Check out the UO outlands server!!! started in 2018 TONS of players!
UO Outlands is full of people all the time. Like you said I myself will never the same gaming experience from when I entered Britainnia the first time. It was a blast.
Ahhh My Home & My Life & My Friend
UO OUTLANDS. UO IN 2023.
Merci. ;)
I played countless hours of this game but I can't recall ever hearing "Britain 2"
Lol... Death - OooO oOoooO OOoooo
Spirit speak GM here! I can read your mind and cast mind blast.
와우보다 더 좋았던 게임. 최고의 게임. 추억의 게임
Thanks to the guy who mentioned it in Twitter
Wow. Takes me back thank you :-)
UOは最高のゲーム
중학교때 시작한 울온. 평생 간직하며 기억할게
I'm now 30 yrs old with a family and I remember playing this game as a small child in 1998. I left the game in 2008 and never played another MMORPG (WoW is terrible btw) This game was great
Hulk from Sonoma
Uo outlands is like UO2 and angel island siege perilous is like the hardest of the hardcore UOs
I learned to type with one hand so I can jeer and taunt while I ran for my life from ganks
Melhor game para sempre.
Europa representing
It's so sad all this music is now gone from the game :(
Really don't know why...

T2Aの頃は楽しかったなあ
Good ol' times
Top 1 game !!!❤

I've been producing hip hop/trap and other genres of music for 20 years.
I was also a HUGE fan of Ultima Online and I've recently produced some
remixes using samples from the T2A music from UO. If you're at all down
to hear any of them just shoot me a message on Discord and I'll send you
some of the MP3s. Suicide#7924 is my Discord ID. Much love! 😎
Tears! UO like first love
so comfy

Someone knows who made the illustrations for Ultima Online? thank you!
Hello I wanted to say I find these songs, which I really like, feeling not as good as the midi originals because of too much reverb setting in general.
Also thank you very much for sharing this ^^
Hello , these are the MIDI originals taken from the T2A CD. MIDIs are just notes, they don't contain any sound. Then it all comes down to what 'synth' you use to play them. In this case it is a soundfont of Roland SC-55 as the composers used it to create them in the first place. Of course if you play them in a different setup they can sound quite different with a different reverb setting. At the end of the day, play the MIDIs where you find them best :)
@@bestretrogamessoundtracks6685 Hey, I am familiar with midi stuff. I wanted to say many of the songs (which I find very good pieces) perform worse because too much reverb or maybe no good mix compared to the simple original sound. It's like better sound but something lost at the end. Thank you again^^
@@carlesriberaberenguer7469 There is no such thing as 'simple original sound' when it comes down to MIDI :). You need to be more specific.. which MIDI synthesizer and with which settings would you consider to be the 'simple original sound'? Maybe you used to listen to these on the Microsoft Wavetable Synthesizer as most people did.. so you are not used to the Roland SC-55 sound.
Hey I know xd I'm talking about this sound th-cam.com/play/PL06D3F9F81754BD2E.html
I have been listening to both songs yours and those cheaper ones a lot, last months.
In Polen we had full rpg shards, speak like medieval, act like medieval, use emotes to express feelings, this is nice memory
OCCLO 😭😭😭😭
Anyone from CoY on the Europa shard?
Are there even any games out there like this anymore? That's not a rhetorical question. I'd really like to know. I've played Everquest, WoW, Rift, Warhammer Online, and a variety of others that I can't remember and none of them had the "just go play, have fun, explore" mentality that UO did.
Well, if I were to seriously play a MMORPG these days.. I would probably just find the best T2A UO shard (there are a few with hundreds of players) and re-experience Ultima Online all over again.
Other than that, the only MMORPG game I play casually these days is Elite Dangerous, which is pretty nice.
@@bestretrogamessoundtracks6685 I'll be honest, I was completely ignorant to the fact people were still playing
Britannia will always be home
lets play together OUTLANDS ultima :)
Please can anyone tell me where I can find sheet music for these songs?
Hello , download the MIDIs and then use some tool to display the MIDI as sheet music. The MIDIs are in fact just that.. sheet music.. which is then used as an input to a MIDI synthesizer.
@@bestretrogamessoundtracks6685 thanks for the reply, I have tried something similar but I think i downloaded the mp3 and then used a converter which formatted it to sheet music, however, it didn't separate the tracks so it was a bit off. Perhaps if I can locate the actual midi files and try again it will actually work. Thanks again.
