Ultima Online Interview

Stratics was able to corner community representative Jeremy Dalberg for a brief interview during the recent Ultima Online Town Hall meeting.

Q. What made you decide to make games your career?

A. Ultima Underworld. When I played that game for the first time I thought, “This is it, this is what I want to do with my life”. So fresh out of school I moved to Austin, I wanted to work for Origin Systems. Got my first job at NC Soft instead and the rest is history.

Q. When did you start playing UO, and are you still an active player?

A. In ’97 when the game was released. Yes I still play, I’d consider myself a casual player. I’d say I play for fun at least a few hours a week. That’s above and beyond what I do for work.
