Our current plan is to scale up our soft launch through various shards in the coming weeks. Please keep an eye on UO.com for updates and how to participate in these new Treasures events!

We are pleased to announce the next release of Publish 109 to TC 1! This release brings our Dynamic Treasures system which will allow us to setup dynamically generated Treasures events. We’ve setup a short test scenario on TC 1 for players to test both the Dynamic Treasures and Champ Spawn system. You can start the scenario by visiting the Britain Commons. Check out the publish notes for full details and we look forward to your feedback.

Greetings,
We are pleased to announce two exciting items!
Firstly, as a celebration of the summer season and as a thank you to our players we invite you to visit the Britain Commons (Luna Bank on Seige Perilous) to claim a celebration wizard! The reward generators are being placed manually so we appreciate your patience while these items are deployed. The reward generators will expire on the date noted.
We are also pleased to announce this month’s addition to the Ultima Store! Beautify your garden for all your summer events with this decorative garden sculpture!
Greetings everyone,
We hope everyone is staying home and safe. We understand this is very trying but know we are all together on this.
The team has talked about this several times and we feel the best decision is not to turn off housing decay. It would impact everyone by not allowing housing to be placed, housing to be transferred, as well temporarily turning off house decay. The problem is if we did turn it off when the housing is turned back on all the status fast forwards to the point it should have been at when we turned them off.
We hope everyone has a great Memorial day!
Thank you,

All Britannians take warning, the realm is invaded! Vile creatures swarm our cities and it is up to you to drive them out! Visit the Town Crier located at the Britain Commons (Britain Bank on Siege) in order to find out which city must be defended! Good luck!

Greetings,
To give everyone additional activities to do during these trying times we have revisited some past events. To continue to keep things fresh we will be sun-setting the Treasures of Tokuno event and reactivating the 20th Anniversary Invasion. This transition will occur on May 12, 2020. You will still be able to turn in your minor artifacts to the Imperial Minister of Trade in the Rokuon Cultural Center and Shops in Zento.
See you in Britannia,

Greetings all,
We are aware of the issue with Atlantic crashing and are working to resolve the cause. We do not have an estimate time this will be fixed but wanted everyone to know we are aware of it and will keep you informed of our progress.
We hope everyone is staying safe and all of our good wishes go out to each of you and your families.
Have a great weekend,
UO Team
