Happy 16^th Year Anniversary!!!!!!!!

Ultima Online’s 16^th anniversary gift bag will be delivered between midnight Monday, September 15th, 2013 and midnight October 14th, 2013. Characters need to be 30 days or older to receive the gift bag which contains :

• a 16^th anniversary pony statuette (no it is not a pink pony)

• 16^th anniversary gift card

New Potted plant deed will create a specially hued Japanese maple tree, a wall mount staghorn fern deed, a potted dieffenbachia plant or a specially hued enormous Venus flytrap plant.
