Greetings all, I am writing to all of you to inform you that I am stepping down as Producer.

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 […]
2/20/2026 Greetings, Recently the UO team investigated reports of degraded server performance as it relates to our new global event, “Kindlehart”. We took steps to identify several areas where an inordinate amount of server resources were being allocated to elements of the encounter and corrected those. We’ve read your feedback regarding some of these optimizations, especially world boss loot, and will be addressing those concerns. Thank you to all those who submitted bug reports and feedback regarding that issue. Upon further investigation it became clear a small number of user accounts were in violation of the Terms of Service, and […]

Victor Blackthorn’s forces have caused catastrophic changes, the shard is unstable and, sadly, it is time to flee while we still can. The exodus is being co-ordinated by Mythran the Thaumaturgist. He stood before the assembled survivors, his expression more solemn than ever, but with a flicker of resolve behind his eyes. This is what he told us. I have given much thought to what I saw within the Ethereal Void… and what Victor’s meddling has done to your world. I will not lie to you. The damage has has wrought cannot be undone. Sosaria.. The Sosaria you know… is […]

Following the Siege of Mistas, Britannian forces stormed the dungeon below in pursuit of Victor Blackthorn. But rather than face justice, Victor fled through the Ethereal Void, leaving behind devastation in his wake. However, the damage to the veil between worlds is far from healed. Victor’s reckless use of void magic tore fractures across Sosaria. Through these rifts, a new threat has emerged: the Umbrascale, a twisted lineage of dragons born from void and flame. These dragons have overtaken several dungeons deep within Sosaria and now expand their influence, building hidden nests throughout the world to increase their numbers. Now, […]
