Welcome @shoebaca
You got much hints for UO, i could not play UO in its times much, since i had a very terrible internetconnection. But since i played much UO like singleplayer games, i was searching for something similar online... an longlasting search over the years.
Then i heard around 9 months ago about Fractured.
And it got me from first moment, even we just had some pics and a vision spread over 5 Spotlights.
I think you will find much similarities with UO as you will find much influences from other games.
@Lohen said once, that it is maybe nothing new, but in its combination it is unique!
I wish you much fun in exploring all the still available Informations we have
