So will Ultima X be able to stand out from the large amount of MMORPGs already out or in the works? Unlike Ultima Online, the new game is entering into a crowded field in this genre, and other games like Everquest II and World of Warcraft are scheduled to be released in 2004 as well.

Time will tell if the development team is correct but based on their comments and our playtime at the press event Friday, we shouldn't have to way that long to find out.
