It feels good.  Seeing the familiar buildings, the sounds, the feel - it feels 
good to return to UO.  My name is Rocko and I was the Napa Valley Shard Reporter 
back in 1999.  I have returned to UO to find the soul of online gaming 
after adventuring far afield. 

Ultima Online cannot be compared to any other platform yet all platforms owe 
homage to this juggernaut.  No other game offers the potential avenues of game 
play that UO does.  But it offers more: it has a SOUL. 

What is that soul?  It is the player base.  It is the soul that draws me back to 
UO.  For me at least, the soul of UO is the denizens of Napa.  I have new names 
to learn, new establishments to visit and new adventures to be experienced. 

Yes, it feels very good.
