We have another Ask and Answer for you and this one is full of great ideas that will help us to make Ultima Online even better. So go to your favorite fan site and submit those questions and ideas. We may even feature yours next week! Ultima Online Bibliothek Why is such a huge amount karma granted when choosing the “nice” option to fight Exodus? Participating two or three times in the fight easily capped my karma. Zero to 20k took years, 20k to 32k was done in minutes. That really cheapens the continuous dedication of being “kind”.

Greetings everyone, I wanted to take a few moments to address the Publish 81 Weapon and Armor changes on TC1.  Please understand this was put on TC1 over a month ahead of a normal publish because the changes are so extensive that we wanted your feedback.  We appreciate your constructive feedback as to why you like or dislike the changes to Armor and Weapons. We have no intentions of releasing these changes to production as they are.  Right now we are compiling your feedback that is on Stratics and from the feedback emails.  We expect to make several changes before […]

In this week’s Ask & Answer we received many questions requesting changes and our developers give a glimpse of what is being planned. UO Auctions Question: Have the dev team considered adding further to the high seas content? it seems most gave up a life at sea when they realized the resources it takes to run a ship. but piracy/bounty hunting are fantastic parts of the game. do you think that perhaps a hand in system for titles might bring attention back? perhaps items gained from merchant/pirate vessels could be handed in at Serpents Hold/Buccaneers Den for the Pirate/ the […]

Has the drop % been altered because of the increase in difficulty of the target now? Thank you. […]

Greetings Everyone,    It’s been a while since I sat down and wrote to everyone so bare with me.  In this letter I will be telling you about some issues that we are going to be addressing and what is in the next Publish.  But before I do that I want to address all the “extended maintenance” we have been going thru.  As I am sure some of you might have already noticed we are moving off the old servers onto the Cloud.  With a game as old as UO it has been challenging but we are working hard to […]
