It's going to be a MMO with micro transactions for fast travel , and developer Barnett from BioWare mythic (Dragon Age facebook developer) said that the game's interface, gameplay and graphics were horrible, byzantine and whatnot.
Also, there's no Lord British, instead, we get a "Lady British"

What are your thoughts on this? I personally find it insulting and preposterous to have a classic such as Ultima IV remade as a social MMO.

HenriqueVT: micro transactions for fast travel
Game already sounds terrible.
Don't mean to be snarky but I don't understand how you didn't see these two threads which have already been made on this new game, as they've been both active today:

Oh sorry, I looked them up on the Ultima forums, thanks for the links.

They can not use Lord British in any new games as Richard Garriott owns the rights to the name and character. It's going to be interesting as Richard from what I heard was going to have a Lady British in his own "New Brittania" based on his in real life wife.

So by definition, does this mean that the game will not be official canon for the Ultima universe?

I don't know, nor do I really care. I have long since moved passed the point of caring about what's cannon and what's not cannon in video game series.
