Strange Bedfellows

By: EM Drosselmeyer “You don’t actually think this is going to work, do you?” Anon scoffed at King Blackthorn’s suggestion. “Well if you don’t think you have the ability to do it, I guess you can continue to be known as the second best mage of the realm…” Anon slammed a hand down on the table, causing Dupre to give him a glare from his seat. “I still am afraid I don’t understand…why are we not simply destroying the source of these?” “Because we cannot without condemning untold numbers of lives. Anon and I have come to the conclusion that […]


The Knight and the Enchantress

By: EM Drosselmeyer His blade clashed against that of the renegade swordsman, each strike forcing him back pace after pace, never ceasing in his advance. As the swordsman caught one of Sir Dupre’s strikes on his shield, Sir Dupre lashed out with his own shield and struck him hard in the face, feeling the mans nose break before the impact. Helmets are worn for a reason, novice… he thought to himself as he disengaged his blade, stamped on the man’s foot, and ran him through. With a sudden jerking back of his sword he let him fall, staining the dusty […]


The Mad, Mongbat-Minded Mage

Written by EM Drosselmeyer The city had been a nicer place once. It had been busier, filled with bustling life and mages learning and earning their keep amidst masters and grandmasters. But that was many years ago, he reminded himself…and despite the ferocity of those remaining in these lands, so many had already moved on to calmer waters. He’d been warned against going at all by his Royal Guard, with them finally relenting when he agreed to take two with him as protection, but he told them as simply as he understood it himself; If he found who he was […]


Minax’s Plan

Author:  EM Drosselmeyer      The crystal crackled and sputtered in her hands as she poured her considerable magic into it, causing the ground around her to tremble with the power…but soon enough it calmed, and nothing had happened. She had assumed as much might happen…a focal point was needed, and the crystal alone couldn’t do it. It needed something stronger, something more powerful…and that was when she thought of the perfect spot. And the best part was, almost nobody was ever there. With a wicked smile adorning her face, she gestured over to Shanty. “Attend me, Shanty; I may have […]


A Risky Proposition

A Risky Proposition Author: UO Team It took him a minute to spot her in the crowded tavern, but as soon as he did it brought a smile to his face, and he joined her at the table. “Hey…looks like you got here a bit faster. I could only get anything useful out of a few…and even that wasn’t too much since most weren’t interested in talking at all. It seems that no boats departed from Papua at all, and nobody should’ve been able to utilize the Serpent’s Pillar at the time we came across the wreck. I’ve also heard […]


Enchantment of the Royal Sea Part 1

     The waves lapped against the side of the BSV Menagerie as they made their way across the ocean, but Isaiah had eyes only for the storm front that cast shadows across their intended destination. It’d been two long months since he’d last seen Isabelle, and the ring he was twirling inside his pocket had taken most of his pay to buy…but he knew it was the perfect ring for her. It was everything he’d ever wanted to give her and knew she’d love it. The only problem was the look of the storm ahead…if it was as bad as […]

Ask & Answer No. 15

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”. (Pcuvush) Kyronix: […]


Ask & Answer No. 14

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 […]
