Forgotten Treasures Update

Posted on May 24, 2019May 24, 2019 by UO Dev Team

5/24/2019 Greetings, For the past several weeks we have been working through updating one of the core features of Ultima Online. Work on an update to the “Treasure Hunter” profession started long before the first line of code was written and the first pixel was drawn as we gathered feedback from players at the 20th Anniversary party, via e-mail and messages, and on the UO Forum.

Sacrifice

Posted on May 17, 2019May 18, 2019 by UO Dev Team

5/17/2019 As we continue the story of Rising Tide we invite you to sit back and enjoy, Sacrifice. By EM Malachi Those guarding the shore of the Isle of Deeds saw the pirate sloop before they noticed the rowboat it was pursuing.

Call to Valor

Posted on May 2, 2019May 2, 2019 by UO Dev Team

5/2/2019 The story of Rising Tide continues and we invite you to sit back and enjoy, The Call to Valor. By EM Malachi The flawless stone was inlaid with a gold sword. Sir Simon watched as the builders adjusted the central marble feature of the new shrine. “The Shrine of Valor will be difficult to maintain and protect here. I wonder why you didn’t build it on the Isle of Deeds. The knights of Serpent’s Hold would have stood vigil over it at all times.” The young king shook his head. “While I appreciate the chivalry of the Order of […]
