Electronic Arts’ grandfather of MMORPGs will probably never appear on consoles. This is due to the now outdated graphics and the gameplay, which is much too PC-oriented. Developing a control scheme that works well on a controller and allows quick access to all functions would be a feat.
A port for consoles would likely only appeal to a very small player base of hardcore fans; the rest would probably just smile at the classic. And they would miss one of the most interesting sandbox MMORPGs.
Because graphics are not everything, and Ultima Online has more depth than many modern MMORPGs. Nonetheless, console players should abandon the thought of a port to consoles.
