Since we have been overwhelmed in the excitement of having so many ties, we wanted to keep it going by posting another set of winners today! We received 13 entries from the Great Lakes shard and had another tie! Here are the 6 winning entries from Great Lakes: Many of my most memorable UO moments occurred in and around Kazola’s Treetop Keg and Winery in what is now Feluccan Yew on Great Lakes. Located under a majestic yew tree southeast of the Yew Moongate, Kazola’s was a beacon of community in the sea of chaos that saturated Sosaria in those […]
We received 15 entries from the Lake Austin shard. There were a lot of extremely good memories and a tally of the votes resulted in another tie! Here are the 6 winning entries from Lake Austin: My most memorable moment in all of Ultima Online is when I tamed my first ice white cu sidhe. What makes that moment remarkable is when you take into consideration thatI started my taming at 30 skill points that I bought from a ranger in Skara Brae. It’s hard to imagine, but I trained taming for over a year to make it to a […]
Written by the EM Team Victor stretched with a loud yawn from the back of his wagon, the storm seeming to have finally blown over during the night. It’d only been a few weeks since the healers in Skara Brae had cleared him for being able to leave, and he’d taken his chance once he’d managed to purchase another wagon. He’d been told he might feel it when the weather was bad, but the soft aches that had plagued him during the night were gone with the rise of the morning sun. Crawling out from under the soft wool […]

We had a total of 7 entries from the Chesapeake shard. The entries were so well done that we had an even amount of votes for some of them and ended up having a 3 way tie! Here are the 7 winning entries from Chesapeake: Maestro’s Journal – Fall 329 – Haven After a rough week things are improving. I am returning to town bloody but alive and with loot. This is due to my skills improving but also due to Malloc. I agreed to help him acquire the materials and money needed to advance in his crafting skills; and […]
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? It would making visiting Heartwood that much more convenient! (sablestorm) Mesanna: Sorry this is not possible to do the fact that Heartwood is on a Dungeon Server UOForums – There’s several different types of chats so Im wondering if there is a personal message system in the works? Though I kinda enjoy the […]
We had received 9 excellent entries from the Europa shard. Of those entries, there were 5 that we enjoyed the most. 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 […]
We had 13 entries from the Drachenfels shard that included some very creative stories. 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. My brothers Hegor and Kregor are good-for-nothing, lambasting murderers and bandits down at the crossroads, but I think a woodelf should follow the path of the virtues. … more or less. *smiles and takes a nip […]
Anniversaries are always ripe with memories of a time past. The original producers of UO recently shared their memories of the early beginnings of Ultima Online at the 2012 Game Developers Conference. Gamasutra did an interesting summary of a few of those memories here.
