Not only is it still running, but twice EA have cancelled sequels to it. Guess it's a safe money maker with those that are still playing

Bllimey, the stygian abyss? I remember playing the 3d cave games based on that on my old 286 pc many many years ago.
2 games I really would have liked to have seen remade and updated.

Another single player Ultima game would be great. Even IX, not so great compared to the others, was very good still.

EDIT: Yes, I wonder if the stygian abyss is going to be anything like the one in ultima underworld.
