Do you remember Ultima Online?

I would love to know how it was developed - what languages, technology stack they used before Unity and other things came about to make coding a MMPORG easier.

Do you know of any successful MMO made with Unity? I have a hard time believing that it's responsible for any ease of MMO development, but I haven't played MMOs much since WoW/FFXIV so maybe I'm behind.

I think maybe Genshin Impact is made with Unity.

It is, but it's also not really an mmo, it has a 4 player online co-op mode iirc.

Original lead designer here.

Quora has answers on on the tech stack in this thread: https://www.quora.com/What-was-the-technology-stack-driving-...

Reddit has answers on the rendering engine here: https://www.reddit.com/r/gamedev/comments/d3cd2v/anyone_know...

I contributed replies to both, but there's further detail from others.

There are piles of Ultima Online postmortem materials on my website, https://www.raphkoster.com -- and those and more are collected in my book "Postmortems."
