Line 20:
* [[Dronejam]] - Only in the pvp enabled side. You can push through one person/NPC with full stamina, but if you're 1 point under you can't. Though NPCs will move if asked, monsters are not so polite.
* [[Dude, Where's My Respect?]] - Become a Lord or Lady, and you will be bowed to... but, good luck getting a discount. And, if you put a foot wrong, the guards will whack you like a peasant. A common peasant! Zounds!
* [[Griefer]] - This game was legendary for how griefer-friendly it was in the old days, mainly due to the designers being unaware of the [[GIFT]] before they loosed the public on it. See also: [[The Great Player
* [[Horse of a Different Color]] - with the right amount of animal taming/lore, you can ride swamp dragons, ki-rin, bipedal dinosaur-like [[Mix
* [[Katanas Are Just Better]] - Averted! You can get katanas (in medieval pseudo-England, yes...) but aside from having a good balance of damage and speed, they're a fairly average bladed weapon, compared to some of the others available. Like, say, an artifact halberd that can [[Made of Explodium|set things on fire.]]
* [[Long Runner]] - Open since 1996 and still going despite all odds.
Line 37:
* [[Suicidal Overconfidence]] - The fairly new Paladin skill of Chivalry is almost [[Game Breaker|game-breaking]] in its usefulness... but, of course, there are always those who will become complacent. Unfortunately, because such players have rarely had to develop their running-away skills, they're not very good at escaping. Monsters tend to be lured straight back onto the rest of the party, which they make mince-meat out of, as the dead Paladin is typically the strongest defensive member. [[Leeroy Jenkins]] lives!
* [[Tele Frag]] - The game prevents teleporters from splinching themselves with others, as it's impossible to teleport to a spot that's blocked. Heavens help you, however, if you teleport unprepared into the midst of a spawn... or an enemy guild.
* [[Thigh
* [[Trope Maker]] - UO was the first widely-popular MMORPG (''Meridian59'' came earlier, but very few people ever heard of it), and made a lot of the MMORPG tropes we see today.
** [[Unbuilt Trope]]: Ultima Online actually has more in common with [[Eve Online|EvE Online]] than ''[[Ever Quest]]'' or ''[[World of Warcraft]]''. It was Everquest's content-based model, instead of UO's [[Wide Open Sandbox]], that became dominant in the MMORPG world.
