Oh well, they said many things. Let me collect all rumors I heard.

- After Ultima IV LB pronounced this was the last Ultima.
- About the time of Ultima VI Origin was thinking about Ultima X which
  should support virtual reality.
- There will be no Ultima III, as the contract with Looking Glass is ended
  after System Shock.
- Ultima IX was named Ascension (this is from the times of Ultima VII-1)
  and is supposed to play on the world of the guardian.
- Newest rumors say, Ultima IX is taking place back on Britannia.

Have fun, spreading more rumors:)
