Amazon.com Review
Whether you need to know where the dungeon Shame is located or how tough it might be to smite a Liche, Prima's official guide to Ultima Online has the information you seek. This exhaustive reference includes an incredible amount of information on basic game play, skill advancement, weapons and armor, magic, and all of the various animals and monsters you'll encounter in the game. Prima's book offers a quick primer on character creation and goes into great detail on most other topics. The game's sophisticated combat and magic systems, for example, are very clearly explained. The book's outstanding town maps are quite handy and can help you track down that elusive reagent shop when you're running low on Spider's Silk. The intricate moongate system is also explained, complete with a timetable that any Britannian will find invaluable. As your character develops and becomes ready for some serious adventuring, you'll be able to turn to the excellent dungeon maps to see where the next trap or monster lair lies. Of course, the detailed descriptions of each monster (complete with special abilities and hit points) can also make your sword-and- sorcery escapades more fruitful.

Summary: Great For Starting an Old-School Server 2007-05-02
Comment: For those who create their own servers using emulators such as RunUO, and hope to capture an old-school feel, this book is very useful at getting all the old stats and such down. Otherwise, its very out of date, and about 7 expansions behind...use only as a reference for a pre UO:R server, or to catch up on old times.

Summary: Good Helping Hand 2007-04-14
Comment: Ultima Online is dificult at first, it isn't really laid out for you like most MMOs, you just kinda do your own thing. Especially if you use UOgateway free survers it can be harder. At first I had trouble controlling my character. This book helped a lot, with maps and such. It's not essential, but if you need a push in the right direction I recommend it.

Summary: For old times sake ^^ 2000-01-08
Comment: Hard to believe over two years has passed since UO came out. I got UO when it first came out, and this book was a great source of reference and info. Unfortunatly, nothing good lasts, and this is especially true of Ultima Online, where patches make much of the information here obselete. Oh well, a good memoir to keep of of the old times. If anyone has any questions or would like to reply, please send to Renryu@Hotmail.com thx.

Summary: Holy Flamestrike! I think I am in Love! 1999-08-05
Comment: My friend Ed and I bought this book after a fine purchase of the game itself. After being PKed and loosing everything we work so hard to get in the adventurous game of UO, we decided this book may be are one and only answer. Well it was! It told us everything we needed to know! We read and read our brains out until school was long forgotten. Even good old Mr. N couldn't save us. My friend and I were feeling like UO masters until... a new client patch came and changed everthing around in the game, so the book had all wrong and old dated information. That is why I gave this book 3 stars. It is a well developed book to give you help in the game but since Ultima Online constanly uses patches to change everything (in there view for the better), the book becomes a useless puchase. Right now the book has only map use that is acurate with the game.
