Classic Client, also known as the Legacy Client, is the original game client that was released with the launch of Ultima Online in September 1997. It has low computer specifications compared to modern PC games. Ultima Online's client uses an "isometric" perspective, which basically seems to mean overhead, with a tilted camera. This was about the same perspective used by many of the Ultima single-player games upon which Ultima Online was based. It is still a popular client to use playing Ultima Online and especially so among veteran players.
Installation
After the installation, the patcher will automatically download the most recent game files.

- ; followed by the space bar = Whisper (what you say is heard max 1 tile away. Yet, pets/summons/allures/etc. will always hear your whisper so you can do things like whisper "all follow me" while you emote "whistles". That way looks to others as if you whistle and then your pet comes to you)
