If I found my original UO media from 1997 and installed it, would I be able to play(after updating for a decade)?

Don't htink I've played since 2000 or so. I doubt I could stomach the terrible graphics anymore.

I used to play along time ago..even helped run a fansite for it. I quit after they canceled Ultima X: Odyssey, and tried replaying when I learned about the "Kingdom Reborn" Client.

I just can't get back into playing a MMO....and if I could have getten back into any of them, it would have been UO....

-sighs- the memories in that game..

They use a emulator of the Shard Software, and you use edited connection files to connect the Ultima client to the server instead of the EA servers.
