The Town Cryer
The Town Cryer is a valuable tool that allows City Governors and Guild Leaders to communicate news to the citizens of the realm. To celebrate the Town Cryer we are happy to share Ink Slinger.
Town Cryer Quests
We have corrected an issue preventing redemption of rewards from the dungeon related quests from the Town Cryer. Players who have completed these quests should visit the last NPC in the quest and approach them to redeem their reward. All shards have been published, with the exception of Oceania which will receive the fix following their next scheduled maintenance.
Moonglow Zoo
The Moonglow Zoo will temporarily cease accepting donations while we resolve an issue. The Zoo will begin accepting donations following each shard’s normal maintenance.
Endless Journey is Here
Greetings,
Publish 99 has been deployed World Wide, introducing a host of new features – most notably Endless Journey!
The transition for closed accounts to Endless Journey accounts has begun and will continue until all accounts have been processed. We appreciate your patience as we work through this process. You will not be able to login until the account has been processed.
Update 4/7/2018 7:19pm ET: The account transition process is continuing. As you may imagine there is a very large number of accounts to process. Thank you for your continued patience while we work through this process. Keep an eye on UO.com for continued updates. You can check the status of your account by visiting the account center and checking the “end date” for Endless Journey accounts. For those accounts that have completed their transition the “end date” will be marked as “N/A”.
Update 4/5/2018 6:00pm ET: The account transition process is continuing. Based on current processing rates we expect this process to take as long as the next 48 hours to complete. We will update this post when the process has fully completed. Thank you for your continued patience while we work through this process.
We look forward to your feedback, and welcome new and returning players back to Britannia! Be sure to check out the forums for the latest conversation on all things Ultima Online.
The raffle stones for the Human & Gargoyle Abyss houses that have been available on select shards will be removed today. We will be announcing the winners on Monday! Good luck!
Please also note that Vendor Search on Origin, Izumo & Baja will not populate properly until vendor owners opt-in/opt-out or those shards go through their next regularly scheduled maintenance.
See you in Britannia,
UO Team

Spring Has Sprung! A Special Gift For You!
Greetings,
To celebrate the dawn of the season of rebirth an “Enchanted Wheelbarrow” can be claimed on all shards after 2pm ET on April 5, 2018 by veteran accounts for the next 5 days by visiting the Britain Commons and using the genie statue. Enjoy! The genie statues will be placed manually, so please allow some time for placement before visiting the commons. Happy Spring!
Account Center Downtime
Greetings Everyone,
The Account Center will be down Wednesday, April 4, 2018 at 10am ET for updates. We expect this downtime to last approximately 2 hours. This is in addition to scheduled downtime on Thursday while we have the shards down publishing Endless Journey. Please note this does not mean Endless Journey will be activate on Wednesday. Endless Journey will not be active until Publish 99 is deployed world wide.
I would also like to take this time to warn everyone that we will be actioning accounts that are caught scripting and/or multiboxing. We are not going to be giving out any warnings for this if you are caught. We are also going to be posting monthly the number of accounts that were actioned due to illegal program use, macroing, or harassment/disruptive behavior.
Thank you in advance for your patience with us while we get the Account Center and the shards updated tomorrow and Thursday.

Publish 99 Update
Greetings,
Origin, Izumo & Baja will be brought down by 11:00am ET on April 3, 2018 for an update to Publish 99. Please see the publish notes for the latest updates.
We anticipate Publish 99 will be going World Wide on April 5, 2018. This update will be done manually, and not during regularly scheduled maintenance. Regularly scheduled maintenance for all shards will be cancelled beginning on April 5th and will resume on April 6th. Shut messages will commence at 10:00am ET and shards will be brought down at 10:30am ET. We anticipate the downtime will last approximately 3 hours. Keep an eye on UO.com for updates on publish status.
Beginning at 10am on April 5, 2018 the Account Center will be brought down in preparation for Publish 99. The account center will return at the time Publish 99 is released world wide.
Please also note that when Publish 99 goes World Wide the rewards available from the 20th Anniversary Elemental Titan arc will no longer be available to claim.
See you in Britannia,
