There is no need for an traditional Ultima to be made or published by Richard Garriot or Origin. No, stop! You don't have to disagree with me yet: this was already proven by the existence of Ultima Underworld I and II. And by now, Richard Garriot moved on beyond Ultima and Origin is a part of Electronic Arts. If that was the end of it, there would be no Ultima tradition: there would only be Ultima history.
