10/30/2026 Greetings, The tales from Yew were true. Each year on the last night of harvest, the farmers of Yew lit their lanterns, and the hoofbeats passed them by. But this year Britannia burned brighter than it had in an age, and that light drew something out of the deep woods. Now the fields outside Yew are ringed with fire. Pumpkin-headed shapes shamble between the trees, and at the heart of the flames waits a rider on a burning horse. He has a blade in his hand, a pumpkin upon his shoulders, and he is searching for the head he […]

10/16/2026 Greetings, We are pleased to announce our next Weekender Event, The Hollow Rider, will launch October 30th, 2026, exclusively on the New Legacy Shards! Strange tales are drifting out of Yew. A shepherd swears he heard hoofbeats on the forest road, though no horse was there. By morning his lantern lay crushed in the mud, and a line of ash led into the trees. A woodcutter speaks of a rider glimpsed between the old trees, sitting tall in the saddle and somehow wrong in shape. He couldn’t say what was missing, only that the longer he looked, the less […]

10/8/2026 Greetings, For nearly two decades, the Event Moderator program has been a cornerstone and truly unique part of the Ultima Online player experience. The longevity and success of that program would not have been possible without the tireless dedication of Bonnie “Mesanna” Armstrong.  From its humble beginnings in 2009, Bonnie has overseen the growth of the program and mentored hundreds of EMs as they brought excitement to Britannia. After decades of service to UO and its community, Bonnie has decided to enjoy a well-earned retirement. As a testament to the program she built, we intend to keep the Event […]

9/25/2026 Due to popular demand, we are launching an additional Weekender event on Europa It was a fat harvest, the finest in a generation.  Wheat to the shoulder and orchards heavy with fruit.  And in their greed, the folk of Yew took every last stalk, sweeping the fields bare and leaving nothing at the field’s edge: no bread, no ale, not even the last sheaf owed to the spirit of the harvest. The land keeps its accounts. And what was denied has come to collect. The fields have risen. The grove has turned. The wild has come in from the […]
