2/4/25 In 1998, during middle school gym class, my friend told me about this game where you could literally do anything you wanted—you could even have a pet dragon! I remember going to the local game store and asking the guy at the counter if The Second Age came with the first age. Little did I know that question would spark the beginning of a journey that has led me here today. Like many of you, I have spent thousands and thousands of hours in Britannia, living in a world born of mystic arts and ancient sorcery. When the opportunity […]

Greetings all,   I am writing to all of you to inform you that I am stepping down as Producer. Greg Havlusch aka Kyronix will be taking over as Producer and will drive the roadmap, all of the systems, and content in the game. I am  stepping back with some of my responsibilities but will continue to own the Customer Service also known as Game Masters and Event Moderators.   I am sure all of you are curious as to why am I stepping down as Producer.  I have been the luckiest person alive to be able to work with […]

Good afternoon, I have heard from a number of people regarding the event last night on Origin. I just wanted to take the time to say I hear you, and the EM in question hears you.  In the nearly 15 years this Event Moderator program has been live we constantly strive to put on fun and exciting events for our players.  Sometimes the best laid plans still result in technical difficulties.  These difficulties were not intentional and this particular EM is deeply regretful the event did not go as planned.  It is my hope players will join me in giving […]

Greetings everyone, We hope everyone is staying home and safe.  We understand this is very trying but know we are all together on this. The team has talked about this several times and we feel the best decision is not to turn off housing decay.  It would impact everyone by not allowing housing to be placed, housing to be transferred, as well temporarily turning off house decay.  The problem is if we did turn it off when the housing is turned back on all the status fast forwards to the point it should have been at when we turned them […]

Greetings everyone, We will be publishing 108, Tuesday March 24th to all shards. All updates will be active after normal scheduled maintenance. We know many of you are asking us to turn off Housing Decay. We will not be doing that at this time due to the fact there is a 90 day grace period after closing an account for the houses to fall. After 2 months we will review the status of where everyone is at due to the virus and make our decision at that time.  Please understand when we turn off housing decay this makes it so […]

Hello Everyone, Keep in mind this is not a change to the TOS, this is a change as to how we will handle macroers from this point forward.  In case you haven’t read the newsletter for the past few months the numbers being banned are rising and we feel are out of control.  Scripting/macroing needs to stop and this is the step in doing that  .  So this is how it will be handled in the future by the GM’s.  This is not to punish the innocent but to catch the cheaters. Moving forward, we are going  to start noting […]

Greetings, On behalf of the entire UO Team, we want to extend a very special thank you to all of our players, past and present, for your continued support of Ultima Online as we celebrate 20 years of UO! The Anniversary party was a huge success and it was such a pleasure to meet everyone.  We have over 700 photos to sift through and will post those here and on social media so you can check them out! For all of the winners of the castle raffle, I have emailed everyone with a valid email address.  If you have not […]

Greetings Everyone, I would like to address a very serious issue with you all.  As most of you are aware we have had players threaten other players that are coming to the 20th Anniversary Party.  We treat these issues incredibly seriously, and all harassment pages, including threats, are logged on the server.  We then forward these logs as a potential threat to law enforcement, who will follow up to the fullest extent of the law.  Please know we do not take this lightly.   For all of those that are worried regarding the 20th Anniversary Party the issue has been […]

Good Afternoon Everyone, Let me see if I can’t clear up some confusion.  Please remember we have not finalized any plans as of this date but here is what we are thinking.  Castle would have the same footprint The design would still be considered a prefab house You would be able to access the design via the tool for original placement or via the house sign for a change in design.   We are still working out what happens to items inside the house so stay tuned for upcoming announcements. When you submit a design idea be very specific as […]

Greetings Everyone, We know everyone is really curious about what we are going to be doing next, so please take a few moments and watch our first Dev Diary! Enjoy!
