The game was described by the Ultima X development team as their version of a single player Ultima game that has been brought to an online environment. The game is heavily quest based, either with individual quests or with a group of up to eight other players. The development team stated they want to create a total of 300 unique quests in Ultima X by the time it launches. Furthermore, the dev team promises that you won’t have to go to a predetermined location to get quests; people who have quests should come to you. Also, the dev team stated that there will be a loose sort of story arc in Ultima X, although not as tied down as those of, say, the Asheron’s Call series.
