[Kawika]

MMORPG.com has published a Q&A interview (http://www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm?setview=features&loadFeature=1019&gameID=12&bhcp=1) with the producer of Ultima Online. Among other things, we learn how UO: Kingdom Reborn is expected to keep the aging Ultima Online alive and well in the ultra-competitive MMO industry.
Aaron Cohen is the Producer of Ultima Online. With the announcement of Electronic Arts buying Mythic, the MMO vets have been lending experience to the grand-father of all games, and the young development team at EA is hard at work putting their stamp on this game. We spoke to Cohen about it.
