During the earliest span of the age of darkness, lived a world born of mystic arts and ancient sorcery…
For nearly three decades players from all over the world have come together to experience the magic that is Ultima Online. From humble beginnings in 1997 the persistent world of Britannia would become a place where stories were told, friendships were forged, and legends were made! As we look to the 27th anniversary of the launch of Ultima Online, this iconic game moves into its 28th year of production and we are pleased to welcome everyone to build their legacy in, Ultima Online: New Legacy!
This custom rule set shard is a fresh start with unique changes that offer players a chance to experience classic RPG elements that we all know and love. Whether you wish to experience a more story driven quest or forge your legacy on your own path – the choice is yours!
For the past eight weekends players have had a chance to try New Legacy and offer their feedback to really make this world their own. From the bottom of our hearts we thank those dedicated beta testers that have spent countless hours playing and providing feedback!
The New Legacy Beta server will once again open on September 24th, 2024 for 1 week as a final stress test before launch. This stress test will start with a clean wipe – this is your opportunity to help us identify any remaining major issues before we launch. Again – we thank everyone for their participation!
Fall has always been a magical time in Ultima Online with holidays a bustle! We have a full slate of events for Live coming this fall and into the winter. With the launch of New Legacy we will be expanding the duration of some of these events to give everyone ample opportunity to participate!
The highlights of the fall include old favorites like our 27th Anniversary Collectibles, Trick or Treating, Pumpkin Carving, the Huntmaster’s Challenge, Holiday Gifts, and the Artisan Festival. We also will be introducing some new decorative items to the Pirate’s Black Market.
This fall will also kick off our live event series beginning with Shadow’s Awakening before we introduce Shattered Sanctum and finally Eclipsed Dawn. We look forward to sharing more details on these events and our full fall production road map next week.
This is an exciting time for Ultima Online and we can’t wait to see you in Britannia!
