Glimpse of Origin

During the recent Ultima Online World Faire in Austin, Texas, RPGplanet unabashedly broke into Origin Systems for a few moments alone with their incredibly polished-looking (graphics-wise) sequel to the prequel MMORPG, Ultima Worlds Online: Origin. A driblet from the preview:

The very noticeable sun and moons in the sky made the world feel more realistic. These celestial bodies actually are objects in the world that move through the sky and can be controlled. “We have a fully functioning celestial system. The sun sheds the light on the ground, it sheds the light on the moons, the moons reflect it so the moons have phases…There is two moons and we can adjust it so they can occlude each other so we can get eclipses”, Long said.

That’s polish.
