I went to one of those, around 2010ish. I have many, many consecutive hours of bitching that I could do about it, but suffice to say it’s exactly as bad as you’d expect.

I made some really good friends there, though, some of which I’m still in touch with. Out of the five of us who hung out together, I think one of us graduated.

Personally, after I dropped out, I tried to transfer the nearly half a degree worth of credits that I had completed, only to find out that not a single one of those transfers to any other school due to some difference in the school’s accreditation, which we only learned about after I left it. Very pleased to learn that, I walked out of that school with $30k in student loan debt and literally nothing whatsoever to show for it.

This kind of shit is how arson happens, don’t fall for it.

I’ll put it this way, the community that plays this game had to bully the developer into releasing a $5 megadungeon DLC just so that they had a way to give him their money. It’s quality.

I’d argue we already have a well done spiritual successor, check out Moonring. It’s free.

Personally, I never played the older Ultima games, I’ve mostly experienced them through YouTube essays. But, a solid 60% of the positive steam reviews for Moonring reference Ultima, as does the game’s own description, so I’d say it probably fits the bill.

If you exist in the Social Security records then yes, your personally identifying information has been leaked to unknown actors a minimum of three times.

Whether or not your identity has been properly stolen and used for illegal business is down to luck and pretty much nothing else.

Should check out FFXIV with all the other WOW refugees, it’s a good game
