They all went out and bought copies and we ended up playing together. After buying it at Fry’s on my way home from work on launch day, I came into the office and told a bunch of people about it. UO had the fame, reputation, and lineage that EQ lacked.Īnd yet, at their respective peaks, EQ would have more than double UO’s subscribers.ĮQ seemed to spread by word of mouth. And then there was Lord British, who ended up living in a castle and going into space on the proceeds of his Ultima empire.

The series spawned a studio, Origin Systems, that created other well known games. The Ultima franchise had been rolling along for more that 15 years when UO launched in late 1997. Compare that to what most see as its direct competitor of the era, Ultima Online.

Not only were ads scarce, there wasn’t a lot of background to draw attention to the game. I declined the beta invite, but came for the opening. I only knew about the game because almost everybody then active on TorilMUD got invited to beta, usually by Brad McQuaid’s Aradune character in game. I don’t recall any such ads for the game back in early 1999.

But a lot of us were still getting our gaming news via glossy monthly magazines where full page ads at the covers were the best way to gain attention. The internet wasn’t seen as a serious news source, though Matt Drudge breaking the Clinton/Lewinsky scandal had at least made a few start paying attention.

March of 1999 pre-dates the age of influencers and social media. It was a confusing time.Ĭlarity came eventually though when EverQuest exceeded all expectations for success. As I mentioned in my 20 year anniversary reflections post about EverQuest, one magazine referred to the company running the game as Sony, Verant, and 989 in different parts of the same issue.

My original disk and manual both display the 989 Studios logo prominently and names a couple others in the fine print. Launched on March 16, 1999, a variety of Sony organizational names were connected to the game at different times including Sony Interactive Studios America, Verant Interactive, 989 Studios, Sony Computer Entertainment America, Sony Pictures, and Sony Online Entertainment. There are a number of names from the past that appear in the series.Īt some point around 1996 John Smedley, working at Sony, managed to get Brad McQuaid, Steve Clover, Bill Trost, and a host of others together to create a 3D online multiplayer fantasy game loosely (or not so loosely in places) based off of Sojourn MUD / TorilMUD.

I would be interested to see if there was any variation in the numbers between games that are all in on boob bounce physics and titles that don’t go down that path. The game designers are very much in on the objectifying of the female body. But I suspect that the fact that so many games hyper-sexualize female avatars plays into it a lot as well. The report goes on to try and explain why men play female avatars and comes up with some good points. Among the findings were that while only 9% of women play male avatars, 29% of men play female avatars.
