What ultima is being created? I recently have been dreaming of ultima online being created for the browser.. Seems like it could be possible now, no?

A civony/evony clone* with Ultima branding was released in the last year - maybe that? Don't get too excited, the game had no RPG gameplay that I could see; it looked like a city/kingdom sim.

* is Evony a clone of some other web game? I'm not familiar with the genre.

Evony is maybe a clone of Tribal Wars, which is maybe a clone of something else...

Evony also ripped a lot of art out of the first half of the Age of Empires series. I don't know how they haven't been sued.

Travian's been around a while.

And I believe the Ultima game is Lord of Ultima [.com]? Played it for a bit, was an ok timesink but eventually I grew out of it since I mostly used it as a Sim City type game.
