Classic MMO Ultima Online's scribe-and-abacus-driven official servers were pushed to their limits on July 7 to host a celebratory Summer Solstice cookout boasting games, prizes, and "a nice cold root beer drink".
The awkwardly penned notice on the official site lists some of the games available in more detail. The one that jumps out at me as most emblematic of Ultima Online's age is the dunk tank, offering a chance to dunk an event moderator of your choice, back when people knew mods as people rather than faceless Twitter accounts (but had a bone to pick with them either way).
