A New Shard for a New Legacy
11/5/2024
Greetings,
Over the next several months we will be migrating all shards to newer hardware with our cloud service provider. The process will start tomorrow, November 6, 2024, with Test Center 1. We expect downtime to last at least 3 hours and will update this post once the migration is complete.
Update 11/6/2024 @ 12:57 PM ET: The migration is now complete.
See you in Britannia,

Beginning with Origin on October 24, 2024 we will be releasing Publish 118.1 to Origin, Izumo & Baja during each shard’s normally scheduled maintenance. Character transfers from these shards to other shards will be disabled until Publish 118.1 is deployed world wide. We expect Publish 118.1 to deploy world wide early next week.

Greetings,
We are thrilled to announce that Ultima Online: New Legacy will launch today at noon eastern!
During times of high demand users may experience queuing during login. If queuing occurs,
In preparation for launch a new client patch is available for both the Classic (7.0.105.0) & Enhanced (4.0.105.0) clients. This patch is mandatory and will be required to login to both New Legacy & Production shards.
This patch also includes a very special update in preparation for our upcoming live event, Echoes of the Blighted Realm. We have updated the texture of the enhanced client model of the Nightmare to allow rare colors of this powerful pet to spawn during the upcoming event. This will only impact the enhanced client.
