The way it was so open-ended really appealed to a lot of people, as did the skill system to tailor your character a bit more specifically. Again, I see this as something nice to do for those still playing, and it's also a way of putting a bit of a new shine on a historical MMO - one of the original "big three".

UO was a great game in its day. The game didnt have levels it was skill based. You didnt pick character classes. You chose your skills as you played the game making the character that was best suited to your play style. Which I thought was great. They had a great crafting system, an open world, no instances, pvp, etc. It's just to bad that they never made a UO 2 that had the same system but the graphics of a WOW or a EQ. I think the upgrade is a bit to late, but great for there player base. I played UO for just over a year then jumped into EQ once I had upgraded the video card. UO was a great game in its day.
