So, for those who played the best MMORPG ever created; Ultima Online.
The lead devs from UO are now creating a new game called Legends of Aria. They are trying to stay true to as much as UO as they can. Skill points/caps so you can make builds, player housing, PK'ing, open world PvP etc...

Servers will be run by a "Regions and Cluster Technology".
Currently in Alpha, I may pledge or keep an eye on the development. Safe to say, I'm excited and hope it takes off!

Servers will be run by a "Regions and Cluster Technology".
Regions and ‘Cluster’ Technology
A Legends of Aria server (both official and community run) are comprised of a collection of world regions. . These regions (game worlds/maps) are connected together using our ‘Cluster’ technology. Once connected, players can use portals, both static and dynamically created, to travel between them.
All regions within a single server must run the same rule-set or “mod”. This enforces fairness since player characters are also tied to that server. It would not make sense to be able to bring a character that is fully geared from a region with easy rules to a region running a hardcore rule-set.
The ‘Cluster’ servers are provided by Citadel Studios and use a simple web interface for managing the cluster. Through this interface, you can select the rule-set, change settings, add regions to the cluster, and manage god users.
Clusters can have any number of regions connected to it. This way you can decide which maps are available to explore. Want to run a steampunk only cluster? Want to run 10 versions of the fantasy home world Celador? (think of them as alternate realities) It’s completely up to the players that run the server.
Our top priority with player run servers is simplicity. This is the first step to putting all the power and freedom of Legends of Aria squarely in the players hands.
