The Detective

Posted on September 24, 2018 by UO Dev Team

9/24/2018 To shepherd in the Treasures of Khaldun we have a series of short pieces of fiction to supplement the events in-game. We present the first installment, The Detective By EM Malachi Chief Inspector K. Jasper considered the stone relic and the blood that covered it.

While the fresh blood was obviously from the relic’s final owner, Jasper didn’t know what to make of the strange […]

Firstly, the cost of contest housing will be uniform across all shards, including Siege Perilous. As far as the costs of these homes in relation to legacy housing, we want to share with you why these homes cost substantially more than a standard castle. One of the top 5 most common areas of feedback we receive is that the game world lacks adequate gold sinks to effectively combat inflation within the economy. One of the most effective ways […]
