Honestly, it was clunky, it froze often, it wasn't perfectly balanced, but it had a huge open world, you could do mods and own shards (own servers) and so there was a lot of community spirit. Also griefing naturally, but not so much for Freeshards.
I will never forget some friends I made, some stories woven, nor some battles that happened (one time the capitol was invaded by reptilian forces as an event and there was a lot of fuckery going on). Also looking fondly back on being able to kill all units in game in the beginning (including NPC kings).
So unstable it was, and so bad my internet connection that most of the time I also daydreamt about it instead of playing. So you def. got some of the UO experience (esp. since it was so buggy that often there were days and sometimes weeks in which one couldn't play).
