Ultima Online Approved by Steam Greenlight

Since being shifted from EA Mythic to a 3rd party studio, Broadsword, in February, the team behind Ultima Online has been pushing to reinvigorate the franchise. UO and Dark Age of Camelot have both been approved for Steam Greenlight, which should give the games some much needed publicity and exposure. It's been almost five years since the game's last major release, so the fact that the game still has a significant following is impressive. There will also be a new 'Return to Britannia' promotion later this month to bring past players back into the fold. The team is also hiring, which further suggests things are on a decent footing. Always amazing - Origin released Ultima Online way back on September 24, 1997!
