Its Monday again and we have another set of questions that were answered by the development team. There were even a couple questions answered by one of our GMs. Can we get an option added to crystal portals to hop over to the Heartwood Gate in Yew?

The top 5 most memorable UO moments from Europa: It was a cold wet December night, when I rolled up at West Britain Bank on my most trustworthy horse. There in the shadows stood my 2 most loyal friends Sir Mangus and Captain Birdseye, both passing the hours away chatting to everyone and anyone who happened to pass them by. Hey boys I shout, what’s up? Hey Draco they both reply, nothing going on, its all quite tonight. So […]

For your enjoyment, here are the 5 winners: [Somewhere in Sosaria back in 1999…] Dear diary, *inkblot* It´s been some weeks now, since I started travelling the lands of Sosaria. In my efforts to become a good citizen I had to encounter fearsome creatures like Mongbats, Ettins and evil undead.

The top 5 most memorable UO moments from Baja: Fig The Ancient I struggled with this one for a while…their are so many good moments to remember but this one touched me deeply, and also gave me insight to the folks that played on our server. It was a few months after guilds were introduced into the world. It was during the times when houses were often vandalized by red characters. They would often kill members and steal the keys to your home then empty it […]

Choosing winners from the Atlantic shard was extremely tough. We had received 22 entries from the shard and enjoyed every one! We hope you enjoy our top 5 winning selections: The Kindness of Friends & Strangers. There has been so many memorable moments in my years of playing Ultima Online that it is difficult to pick only one. Foremost in my mind are the friends and just random people that I have met.
