Another Ultima X: Odyssey Report

This time it's RPGVault who's got the long skinny on the unveiling of UXO last week.

Here's a sampling of their three page report, which includes many screens as well:
This fiction opens up a few interesting doors. For instance, the studio that created a single, seamless world for Ultima Online is moving to a design using zones. Allucinor, as an amalgam of places the Avatar has been, is not necessarily a connected land. At the event, we had the chance to see three locations that were radically different, a green forest, a snowy mountain and a dark dungeon. All were very large, and with a reported 55 maps planned at launch, Odyssey will hardly be hurting for space.
