People who weren’t there when this was cutting edge and new can’t possibly understand how mind blowing it was to load up for the first time and see 30 other real people doing their own thing at the bank
We were the mercenaries. We were the mages. We were the tamers, the tanners, the tactics. We WERE Ultima Online. Be present and be proud of that. THIS soundtrack is a lifetime of memories compressed into an hour. For those who were there, we salute you. x
GM blacksmith/mage here! I owned a large forge by Wrong! So much fun. My smith was also a mage to recall away from the pk's .. lol. Tough choice on what to drop when the changes came but ended up making a new mage since that was easier than getting another guy to GM smith.
Tears. This game was everything to me between 1997-1999. In it, I had everything that I didn't have in real life. Friends whom I cherished and who cherished me, cozy home, a sense of adventure, exploration and purpose.
I remember making my character, coming up with a name. Then just getting plopped into the world...figure it out. Find your way, there was no guide, there was no tutorial, you just poked around through menus and wandered and explored a world you have never been in before to this magnitude. Slowly you carved out a personality and an identity for yourself. You became a miner, a blacksmith, a tamer. It was seemingly endless.
After UO, not a single MMORPG gave me so much fun,joy and excitement. I played lots of games and for a lot of time, but my heart still remains in UO. I know if I start playing it now, I Wont have same feelings like I used to and its sad. Just remember every fight you had and if you die you literally loose all your gear and stuff in backpack and back then it was ok, nowadays imagine loosing all raid gear in Wow.
As someone who never played UO but played RS in 2007 and then OSRS in 2020, you won't get the same exact feelings, but they'll be there and you will notice them. Tinges of good memories when you hear an old tune, sound effect, or see the region you saw many years ago. Definitely worth playing again if you had those feelings before and since you already know how to play it, it'll be as easy as relearning to ride a bike again.
Man.. the fear you knew of someone running at you in a ghost cloak.. knowing they had nothing to lose, and probably some mandrake in their pocket ready to Port Or you into oblivion. The satisfying CLANG of hitting with a Halberd. And the crafty schemes of some folks.. our guild would run around all dressed the same and some rando would run away from us towards a larger group claiming we were PKers and try to coax them into attacking us so he could "get his stuff back"
It's true, because we get older, and our frames of references are always changing. What once was previously unknown to us emotionally and intellectually as a child or adolescent is now known to us as adults. However, just because you won't get the same exact feelings doesn't mean you shouldn't entertain the idea of returning. Like a veteran mercenary jaded and growing unphased by his newer encounters through years of trial and tribulation, you can experience the world through an entirely new viewpoint!
To this day... there is not a single game, that can fill the place of UO in my heart. So many incredible memories, friendships, that became real life friendships. Big part of the people in my life, I met because of UO, whether they directly played it, or were just friends of friends I played UO with. I can say, I met my current fiancee because of UO, because my friend I used to play UO with, had a girlfriend, and she was her friend. So I probably wouldnt have met her if it wasnt for UO. Truly amazing times and memories, when I hear the soundtrack I feel very emotional and nostalgic!
first time i got ganked by 4 PK in the cave near Magincia,or the first Gazer interaction....cutting trees,looting feathers think im gonna log for a few hours Provoking Titan and Cyclopean Warrior
Its bitter sweet to listen to these knowing my son will never experience such a game and that I can never go back. Truly a different time of gamers. Before the Dark Times. Before the Empire.
I remember discovering Ultima 8 when I was 12 and fell in love with it. When Ultima Online came out, I was 14, I reserved a copy and bought it. Within a week my entire circle was playing it. It still has a special place in my heart, I only played for a few years, never really played any other games after that. I still remember staying up the first few weeks mining ore in Minoc, then losing all the armour I made because the dial up internet cut out and an Ettin got me. Frustrating but still fun as hell.
Even though it's not a part of the music, I can hear the chopping of wood and the mining of ore anytime I listen to this music. So many memories tied into these songs.
This was a special, special game that delivered an experience like no other I've ever had in the 20+ years since this game game out. This game was magic, plain and simple, and I doubt anything like that will ever be created again.
To have been there, and had the joy of playing this when it was still new, and fresh is a privilege. I know I cannot go back, and that the gaming world will never go back to this. What happened to you, Golden Age of MMORPGs? Warcraft. Warcraft happened.
I want to make my bow to the very best game of my childhood, this is gonna be a long one. I dont really remember what age i had at the moment that my brother gave me his account with a shitty ass character, i probably was 8-10 years old, maybe less. I remember been super hooked to stone2 song, man i love that song. I was so little and didnt had any clue of anything, but this game man, this game got me hooked instantly: the music, the landscape, the unknown... oh boy the unkown.. those emotion were pretty damn big for me Everything was so emotionally new.. taming horses, collecting cotton, fishing, mining, blacksmithing, magic spells, fist fighting, swordmanship.. the list was virtually endless.. the tryhard mode to upgrade those skills... dude you could even make a god damn HOUSE, are you serious?? you could fucking own a piece of this virtual world... this game surely made me a really curious man. I dont really understand how they could made this game so immersive, so beautiful, so full of life, i mean, 1997 dude, the only thing i know is that those developers must had loved this game more than any of us players combined, just imagine the time taken to build those maps, the entire world, the playability man, those endless frightening ever stronger creatures, its just a miracle, i learned about life, about gettin tryhard on things, i used to collect logs, one by one upgrading that lumberjacking 0.1% at a time, that taught me to have respect and patience to the due process, and that if you want to master anything.. man that takes time, effort, frustration and a lot of damn repetition.. but if you are determined enough and willing to put in the time, you are going to see some results.. then i tinkered those logs into blank scrolls, lol added value theory in a nutshell.. someone told me that he could pay me a salary for them, a 8-10 years old boy with a salary, man i felt so grown up LOL, i put the time and effort into it, because hey, someone was willing to pay me for my job! but that man was the first dude that scammed me, i didnt know that you could sell those blank scrolls to the npc for a higher price (because obviously not all npc bought them, besides me being so naive), the guildmaster of that dude told me, i felt so robbed man, was literally months of paychecks, hahaha.. i still remember his nickname, it was NabucodonosoR, he felt sorry for me and let me join his guild, XandeR was the mf that scammed me, but no hard feelings, after all hey, we were guildmates with a fucking gigantic castle on the middle of the snow going on wild guild adventures... it is so beautiful seeing back, how this fucking awesome game created a world for all of us, that rush of adrenaline right in your heart when someone were about to murder you, felt so real, then you lost all the things that you have worked for.. it took me a while to know how to use the bank so those losses were unnecesarily painful LOL. I remember that we used to have that shitty ass internet, where you had to choose between being hooked on the internet or the telephone, both wasnt an option, my parents used to nagged me so much because i literally played this game all day long with so much joy. i had so many friends on ultima, it made me loss some "real life friends" at that age, but i put the quotes because i never felt this any less REAL.... thank you all for making this game so beautiful, love you all man.. THANKS to you Michael.. for uploading those memories on my brain again and that hell of a ride to the past (:
It was 1997 - 2000, the dimly lit smoked filled computer room, the whirring of the cpu fan that was slightly off balance, bags of junk food around me, my wife telling me it was time to come to bed, but I was too focused on staking out the lower levels of dungeon Shame to PK noobs and plunder their corpses to hear her. It was magical and it was good. It is probably a good thing I left when they porked it in 2000 or my marriage would have ended. Listening to this music brings back a myriad of memories. Thanks!!!
UO was more than a game. It was a life style. I was living in Britain and fighting on the bridge. Sometimes i made crime and sometimes fought it. It was more fulfilling than real life.
Remember the first day you played. It was like real world, wasn’t it? My best friends are still from UO. Nobody will understand what we feel when we listen to this. Especially the new generation...
I remember my exact first 5 minutes, December 1997, chose Atlantic because that was the best ping a European could get. Started in Britain, walked out the inn and saw a wolf. Attacked it and got guard whacked because it was tamed and I had no clue wtf I was doing :) So many good memories though; absolutely a once in a lifetime experience that I think can't be repeated unless the internet somehow goes away and gets reinvented a couple decades later.
Delta V I found a silver viking sword on the ground while somebody were talking each other, then I took it, ran and waited hidden for 1-2 hours since I supposed it is a unique ultra powerful thing. It must be a GM sword or something, they could ban me for stealing it.
@@dai_ko_myo That kind of naivety is exactly why I think the experience can't be recreated since all the information is at our fingertips now and people will figure the in's and out's within a couple of hours. I suppose UO had it's share of powergamers and optimal strategies that got published online, but it still all felt a lot more innocent than any MMO experience I've had since.
I think my family paid extra for a premium awe creative sound card back in the day. Back in the Gateway store, remember that? With the little cow hide symbol on the computer. I’m glad we did. Money well spent.
I always tear up when I hear the first song. I awe everytime how great of a game this is and was back in launch. The slow pace with skill gains did not feel forced and took months to GM a single skill and it didn't feel bad at all. Nowdays games die within first month cause there is nothing to do.
At the age of 13, I slaughtered thousands of men, innumerable hordes of creatures and demons, ghouls and dragons. I amassed great wealth, power and skills of a Grand Master, I had a villa that overlooked the jungle... I died many deaths in a single lifetime. I was reborn and reborn again. I have seen much and have lived as a God. Now, I am 30. And looking to life to fulfill me, nevermore.
Minoc hits me hard. I played T2A a bunch of times at a friend's house when I was 11 or 12 before getting it myself. We spent our noob days in Minoc, hitting up Covetous and killing wandering healers for gold. Played retail through AoS. Incredible memories.
Many memories sneaking downstairs at 2am booting up the computer, hiding the loud modem under my shirt to conceal the loud connecting noise and start up this magnificent game just so that I could get in some easy mining in the Brit pass without getting pk'd. I miss you Chesapeake!
This brings back memories, trying to hide my UO addiction from my parents after they'd gone to bed. I'm sure they knew though, the phone bill must have shown the 2-hour long calls in the early hours of the morning...
Listening to this again after so many years, and now grown up, I can hear melodies from English folk songs like John Barleycorn, and The Agincourt Carol, something that I didn't notice when playing the game over two decades ago, but now it's going to keep me coming back to listen again. Thanks for this wonderful upload.
Play Ultima Online Outlands. I felt the same way you did but Outlands is such an awesome UO server. The devs did an amazing job completely releasing a brand new map and although I miss parts of the old map I still have a blast on this server. Been playing it for a year now. I'm actually macroing as I type this comment. www.uooutlands.com Trust me.
Been gaming for 35 years and this still holds up as one of the ONLY GAMES I didn't mute the music for. I'm looking to get my hands on all the sound effect files for this game so I can make a custom beat via samples from Ultima Online but I'm not sure how to access all the sound effects. I know how to access the music files but none of the sound fx. If anyone has or can get me the sound effects for the game it would be awesome if you could email them over to me!
I think sailing stands out the most for me. Everything was so real in the game but when I got that first boat... set sail from Moonglow to this mystery snow covered Island to the North... I'll never forget that moment. oh I got my first boat because someone gave me a blessed item deed, no idea what is was but some other generous player traded me a boat for it.... real nice
I just started playing this game about a day ago. The music.... what can I say. I think I've never heared such beautiful music in an MMORPG for a long long time. I'm really excited to play this game and see what it offers. Until now it is very unique and a completely new experience.
Because the card had onboard ram memory and the ability to load and store custom sound font sample sets, (and Ultima online took advantage of this) A games music composer could specify and create a unique custom wavetable of sound samples that matched there artistic presentation intensions they where not stuck with the generic bank of standard Midi samples sounds.
I had a SBLive which used wavetable synth but read from the hdd. I never found a game that used it outside of the standard 125 midi voices though. I never played UO.
I almost cried. Best my youth gaming memories. Fuck CS, Fuck DOTA. hours, days, spent in great world of britan. I started playing Life Is Feudal:MMO, if we exclude 3d, 70% of the mechanics are 100% same as the old "sphere" type UO. I love it now, but its not the same. Thank you for the great midi, i will share it with my friends, i know they will hardly hold a tear of joy and nostalgy.
I remember playing this at my dad's friend's house when I was very young. I played on her account and didn't really know what I was doing, but the game seemed awesome. Ever since then, I wanted to play it. So shortly after that I bought UO at a store somewhere but didn't know I had to pay for a subscription (we were kinda poor) so I never ended up playing it. However, I now own all the Ultima games on GOG and I want to eventually get around to playing through all of them! The music in these games is so good.
I miss UO and my guild on Demise. Fun times. I actually rejoined on an official shard and a big guild years back to try to relive those years but it was just not the same. Some good times simply can't be recreated.
This takes me back to all of the wild west charm and fear that was my UO experience. The thrill of being hunted by rando Dread Lords, succeeding a Hide check and then murdering them with energy bolts and provoked monsters has never been matched. Thank you.
Ahhh. Take me back. Please take me back. I don't belong in a corporate controlled internet world. I wanna go back to the wild west. I wanna go back!!! We didn't appreciate what we had. Napa Valley soldiers. I salute you!!
Was searching for Ultima sound tracks and stumbled across your channel. Have a lot of great content and I feel my weekend will be filled. Thanks for sharing
this music, oh god... i remember when i played UO, unfortunately never on official server as i couldnt really speak english, i played on several free czech servers, one was based on Lord of the rings, thats where i began when i was 9... another was RP server, still sometimes return to that, another one was really small server with no skill cap, lot of high dungeons based around small parties, also server i liked back to return, unfortunately that one was closed 5 years ago now, still sometimes remember that server, i was way young that, i still remember small guild i was part on, i still remember when GM dropped event on us and i was one of the first to crack it and lead my guildies to one of the island where we got awesome treasure
lol and now 8 months later, even more clear I wasn't wrong. Australia now the world's largest prison and people being forced to take a drug all over the world that doesn't even work.
@@razmatazz9310 hahaha if you think everyone is doing ok then you are truly a moron. I would suggest learning Math first. Wow that was truly next level stupidity, have you turned on the TV? hahaha
I played it the first six months non stop. I dreamed about it for years while it was on beta testing and looked at its website everyday and devoured the news and from other players. I imagined being in that world. After 6 months I quite due to the rampant cheating and bugs, but even decades later, I still get nostalgic thinking of it.
I might be doing other videos of this soundtrack on other sound cards in the future.
pls
Update after 6 years! Awesome, would be great
Would be epic!
Would bê awesome
Even a tease at that is enough to get my Sub.
20 years later I'm still waiting for an online game that makes me feel like this one made me feel.
Maybe it was because we were kids
UO Outlands. You're welcome.
30 years here. I remember a buddy of mine brought a burned CD to school with it and told me to install it, then sent me shard info on AOL. J
We don't have that much leisure time right now.
Stay blessed 🙏

I have seen much and have lived as a God. Now, I am 30. And looking to life to fulfill me, nevermore.
I played on Europa from 98 until about 2002. My main characters were Weaselmode and WeaselmodeII :)
Minoc hits me hard. I played T2A a bunch of times at a friend's house when I was 11 or 12 before getting it myself. We spent our noob days in Minoc, hitting up Covetous and killing wandering healers for gold. Played retail through AoS. Incredible memories.
We all were in so much pain as kids and found solace in UO. Cheers friends.
Many memories sneaking downstairs at 2am booting up the computer, hiding the loud modem under my shirt to conceal the loud connecting noise and start up this magnificent game just so that I could get in some easy mining in the Brit pass without getting pk'd. I miss you Chesapeake!
This brings back memories, trying to hide my UO addiction from my parents after they'd gone to bed. I'm sure they knew though, the phone bill must have shown the 2-hour long calls in the early hours of the morning...
Listening to this again after so many years, and now grown up, I can hear melodies from English folk songs like John Barleycorn, and The Agincourt Carol, something that I didn't notice when playing the game over two decades ago, but now it's going to keep me coming back to listen again.
Thanks for this wonderful upload.
Man hearing Moonglow again kills. I miss this old game so much. I have an old Soundblaster card sitting on my shelf :)
Play Ultima Online Outlands. I felt the same way you did but Outlands is such an awesome UO server.
The devs did an amazing job completely releasing a brand new map and although I miss parts of the old map
I still have a blast on this server. Been playing it for a year now. I'm actually macroing as I type this comment.
www.uooutlands.com Trust me.
I play on UO Forever, felucca ruleset with some of the new stuff.
This is so nostalgic that makes me wanna cry.
I robbed entire UO houses while enjoying this soundtrack. So many memories of unfettered mayhem.
I remember the first time playing this game and went into the forest to explore and saw an Orc thinking I can fight it, boy that was a bad idea.
Or: a deer.
Been gaming for 35 years and this still holds up as one of the ONLY GAMES I didn't mute the music for.
I'm looking to get my hands on all the sound effect files for this game so I can make a custom beat via
samples from Ultima Online but I'm not sure how to access all the sound effects. I know how to access
the music files but none of the sound fx. If anyone has or can get me the sound effects for the game it
would be awesome if you could email them over to me!
There was a program called insideUO that let you access all the sound effects
for those interested a new seige perilous style server just opened up about 2 weeks ago and its lively.
I think sailing stands out the most for me. Everything was so real in the game but when I got that first boat... set sail from Moonglow to this mystery snow covered Island to the North... I'll never forget that moment.
oh I got my first boat because someone gave me a blessed item deed, no idea what is was but some other generous player traded me a boat for it.... real nice
I think I've heard this story before - maybe I read it three months ago or have you maybe told it somewhere else?
@@Kettles147 yeah me lol I've posted it on a bunch of uo videos
This is where our precious memories lies, dusty and slowly fading away.
I just started playing this game about a day ago. The music.... what can I say. I think I've never heared such beautiful music in an MMORPG for a long long time. I'm really excited to play this game and see what it offers. Until now it is very unique and a completely new experience.
how was it?
programming has increased by 0.1% it is now ... i love work with this "video".
Because the card had onboard ram memory and the ability to load and store custom sound font sample sets, (and Ultima online took advantage of this) A games music composer could specify and create a unique custom wavetable of sound samples that matched there artistic presentation intensions they where not stuck with the generic bank of standard Midi samples sounds.
I had a SBLive which used wavetable synth but read from the hdd. I never found a game that used it outside of the standard 125 midi voices though. I never played UO.
I almost cried. Best my youth gaming memories. Fuck CS, Fuck DOTA.
hours, days, spent in great world of britan.
I started playing Life Is Feudal:MMO, if we exclude 3d, 70% of the mechanics are 100% same as the old "sphere" type UO. I love it now, but its not the same.
Thank you for the great midi, i will share it with my friends, i know they will hardly hold a tear of joy and nostalgy.
Can someone put this sound track on Spotify so we all can listen to it anywhere? This is me requesting it in 2021.
vendor buy the guards a bank
i remember all the funny different variations of these
'Vendor buy a bank or the guards will recdu your recsu!' was the one I used from t2a onward.
I ban thee
Recsu recdu
I think the dust on the Sound Blaster Card adds an additional layer of nostalgia.
Thanks.
This brings back so many beautiful childhood memories..
i almost cry listening. Very good job
懐かしい人生の一つであった。
淋しい音楽に聞こえてしまいますね
This music stills gives me chills when i hear it. Good memorys of playing all night, sleep couple hours, then keep playing :)
I remember playing this at my dad's friend's house when I was very young. I played on her account and didn't really know what I was doing, but the game seemed awesome. Ever since then, I wanted to play it. So shortly after that I bought UO at a store somewhere but didn't know I had to pay for a subscription (we were kinda poor) so I never ended up playing it. However, I now own all the Ultima games on GOG and I want to eventually get around to playing through all of them! The music in these games is so good.
I miss UO and my guild on Demise. Fun times. I actually rejoined on an official shard and a big guild years back to try to relive those years but it was just not the same. Some good times simply can't be recreated.
Great memories ..... I miss those days.
This takes me back to all of the wild west charm and fear that was my UO experience. The thrill of being hunted by rando Dread Lords, succeeding a Hide check and then murdering them with energy bolts and provoked monsters has never been matched.
Thank you.
love the zoom in to the chip. God bless the Sound Blaster.
I lived in Moonglow because of the music 😁.
Ah good old Minoc - as it was intended.. and remembered. :D
@manicniceguy lol, Ultima Online at it's purest.
1997 was a beautiful year. Catskills pride~
Heck ya catskills ruled!
This is beautiful and brings back so many memories…
new character, grinding in the GY... fight is going well, and then..

OOoooOOOoooo
Here in 2024. Good memories. Good times.
Ah, that's the stuff! So many years spent in the wilderness of Britannia, but it has past away beyond all recognition from my day.RIP, classic UO!
There are still free shards around with the classic UO feel and with players. Check it out!
I am not crying...You are!!!!
They need to remake and release this game exactly how it was.
From a time when games were about freedom and fun.
Exact sound setup I used at that time...ah the memories
Thank you for posting this. I had a Roland SC-7 when UO was released and it's nice to hear how it sounded on the AWE64.
7x GM. still best accomplishment in my life.
Ahhh. Take me back. Please take me back. I don't belong in a corporate controlled internet world. I wanna go back to the wild west. I wanna go back!!! We didn't appreciate what we had. Napa Valley soldiers. I salute you!!
Tis a balm to a weary mind. One that yearns for a simpler time.
+1
ULTIMATE NOSTALGIC!
AWE + UO !~
HAD BOTH THE
AWE32
AWE64
wow, this sure brings back memories
Well done. The original version of the game themes bring back some very fond memories.
I remember when all that mattered each day was when I got to get home and play uo. 4 hours sleep no problem!
Thanks a lot for this! A real gift for all of us who lived a meaningful part of our lives in Britannia!
Was searching for Ultima sound tracks and stumbled across your channel. Have a lot of great content and I feel my weekend will be filled. Thanks for sharing
Flashbacks of running as a ghost to the healers in Britannia...
Ah, nostalgia!
Thanks for making/uploading this.
playing them synced with my sc-88 they compliment each other well.
Ultima online is truly a metaverse
This is the version I remember… oh gees the feels…
Ultima music full of memories.I miss you then
Please blow the dust off that card. It serves the divine now, and dust is hurting it. We will want this music 300 years from now.
using a canned of compressed air, of course, and not a moist and spitty mouth!
Can't replicate that past... although i don't miss the dial up
Listening on my Boston Acoustics computer speakers of the same vintage.
Para ganking....I should be ashamed of myself but it was just so much fun!
this music, oh god... i remember when i played UO, unfortunately never on official server as i couldnt really speak english, i played on several free czech servers, one was based on Lord of the rings, thats where i began when i was 9... another was RP server, still sometimes return to that, another one was really small server with no skill cap, lot of high dungeons based around small parties, also server i liked back to return, unfortunately that one was closed 5 years ago now, still sometimes remember that server, i was way young that, i still remember small guild i was part on, i still remember when GM dropped event on us and i was one of the first to crack it and lead my guildies to one of the island where we got awesome treasure
The sound quality is excellent, a lot better than other video uploads. Thanks for sharing this with us!
I listen to this all the time. Thanks for uploading it.
Bellissimi ricordi quando giocavo a Ultima Online su Venus bei tempi..
This brings all my memories back.
Many thanks, mate
THIS MADE ME ALL WARM AND FUZZY INSIDE
As the world George Orwell predicted comes true and I can just listen to this on repeat throughout the day to stay calm.
@@AlphaCarinae Not wrong. Saying wrong just implies you must have a very low IQ to not see what is going on right in front of your face.
lol and now 8 months later, even more clear I wasn't wrong. Australia now the world's largest prison and people being forced to take a drug all over the world that doesn't even work.
@@MysteryScienceGaming And 11 months later everybody is still doing OK. Try again in a year, maybe by then you will have more luck.
@@razmatazz9310 hahaha if you think everyone is doing ok then you are truly a moron. I would suggest learning Math first. Wow that was truly next level stupidity, have you turned on the TV? hahaha
@@razmatazz9310 Damar Hamlin enters chat.....
I played it the first six months non stop. I dreamed about it for years while it was on beta testing and looked at its website everyday and devoured the news and from other players. I imagined being in that world. After 6 months I quite due to the rampant cheating and bugs, but even decades later, I still get nostalgic thinking of it.
OMG, so happy I found this.
