The Ultima Dragons Facebook Group Tops 800 Members
Some time in the last week or so, the Ultima Dragons Facebook group exceeded 800 members.
And while that number pales in comparison to the literal thousands of Dragons whose names grace the UDIC roster, it still represents a fairly significant group of people for whom Ultima, in all its various manifestations, is not just a much-beloved series of computer games, but also the means to — and binding agent of — a boisterous and imaginative online community.
And hey…the Dragons are one of the oldest (if not the oldest) gaming fan communities going. Eight hundred (and three) is a perfectly respectable membership for a group that is comprised of the fandom of a game that hasn’t seen a single-player PC release since well before Mark Zuckerberg began working on what eventually became the Book of Face.
