Richard Garriott expresses a desire to do another Ultima game Online
01/15/09 04:03 PM Markee Dragon

"The property Ultima is still very near and dear to my heart. I think that if, by hook or by crook, I had access to that property, either in solo-player or multiplayer, I would absolutely love to continue to play in the Ultima universe."

What I would not give to help make that happen. EA / Mythic is running the Ultima title right now. Whenever they feel UO is dead that will be the time for Garriott to jump in and grab the rights to it once again.

An Overview Of The Ultima Online Kingdom Reborn Client
03/09/08 12:14 PM Markee Dragon

The UO:KR client came out in 2007. It was loaded with bugs and performance issues that caused a large number of players to steer clear of using it. A number of patches were released such that by mid-Feb 2008 the client was in pretty good shape and offered a bunch of useful features to players. The Syndicate® created a series articles that were used internally in their guild to help educate our members on the new client and the options they might find useful. Those articles have been compiled into a single guide that we have made available on our website to all players. You can find a copy of the article HERE...

UOGuide January Updates
02/10/08 10:46 AM JCtheBuilder

What an exciting time for UOGuide. The first month of this new year has been a flurry of activity, adding well over 1,000 new pages to the site. Due to in large part by the merger of UOStuff, UOGuide now has well over 3,000 web pages of UO information. Not only did the amount of content explode, but the merger was also fully completed in January.

The Main Page has a brand new look, adding three new features. Two of them are ideas taken from the old UO website. The first is Featured Establishments. Players of houses which serve a public function can submit their building for featuring. It is rotated on a weekly basis and is a great way to advertise a location. To submit an establishment click here. The second feature is the Skill of the Week. Each week one skill will be featured. The third feature is all new, featuring different points of interest in the world of Britannia. This weeks featured location are the Meer Catacombs.

We are also continuing to feature screenshots on the main page. A new method of submission has been setup. Email your screenshots to uoguide@gmail.com. Be sure to include a little caption about what is going on in the picture.

There is so much new content this month it is hard to choose only a few to highlight.

• New Player Quests - Almost every skill has a quest in New Haven. These quests are the quickest way to train up to 50.
• Slayer Information - All you could ever know about slayer weapons and their types.
• Quests - The UOStuff merger has added a wealth of detailed quest information. Search for quest information either by area or by NPC.
• Recipes - Almost every recipe has been added with crafting info...

Ultima Online's final team meeting at Redwood Shores campus.
12/04/07 08:49 PM

Before you watch the video. UO is not dead. But this is a sad day for it. I have very fond memories of meeting with several of the people in the video. Now they will either no longer be on the UO team or they will be moving to Fairfax Virginia.



Well met UO dev team. May your journey be safe.

Thanks Viceroy for sending me a link to this video....
