  • Would have been a good idea to coincide with EJ or NL, and I wonder when it might happen. I assume EA has a say in this. Maybe better not to remind EA that they own UO, lest they decide to pull the plug The only thing is that steam reviews can be …
  • Thanks for the perspective. Am not really spun up on the meta. Just seems to me that, disregarding slayers, most of the reward items over the last few years will be far weaker than anything you can craft or loot. I guess it doesn’t matter too much …
  • K, well, ideally they’d adjust imbalances by rebalancing things rather than introducing ultra powerful items as rewards from one-off events, but having a reason to use mace or fencing is still good. I wonder if we’ll see these new weapon types added…
  • Pawain said: Grimbeard said: Can the mace weapon be one handed You do realize that macing has 1 handed weapons that do DS, AI and WW.  Macing does not have 2 handed weapons that do those. Swords does!  Use the one handed weapons for…
  • Going off screenshots here https://www.uo-cah.com/events/eclipsed-dawn typo in 2nd page lore book  “and uninhabited” -> an uninhabited  more technical typo that on 3rd page ”have previously seen” -> had previously seen page 8 ”angony” -&…
  • Does anyone know whether reactive effects proc while in animal form? 
  • Lord_Nythrax said: God damn, you guys are really committed on an ongoing basis to propping up the pally template through items without making any real mechanical changes. No skin off my ass, but items so definitional to a template ought to be…
  • Venom said: While I understand running gargoyles can be a burden, especially due to the lack of a true ear slot, I think it adds depth to the game. I think a new race, particularly Orcs, would offer an opportunity to also take lessons learned…

  • You’re right to be confused. Historically Broadsword has made some distinction between multi-boxing and players who simply have multiple clients running. Here’s what UO.com says: https://uo.com/support/ Multiboxing Update Starting with the Endles…

  • Hi Amelia, Thanks for sharing. May I ask why you stop at 85 resisting spells? Is there some specific breakpoint at that level, or do you just feel that’s a good enough amount? I’ve been thinking of my sampire as: Weapon 120 Tactics 120 Parrying 1…

  • Hi Blind_Otto, I was interested in these answers and ended up finding some here: https://uo.com/ultima-online-new-legacy/ Transfers exclude Siege. You need to have a free slot on the destination shard.
  • I found myself revisiting Andrea’s work in upscaling and reworking the 2D art many years ago in response to concerns over the direction the game was going with KR: http://andrea.net/uo/general/art/ Historically this effort has been described as a m…
  • As a follow-up, I’d be more interested in a classic server less as a means of “revitalizing” the game (I don’t personally think it would achieve that) and more as a way of preserving its history in some official capacity without the expectation that…
  • Hi MacroPlanet, Happy New Year to you as well. Perhaps a classic server would be an interesting experiment. There are equivalents in other games, and many players ask for it. However, I’m not sure the demand really reflects reality. Consider tha…
  • In 2025, could we get an option that blocks attacking guildmates, their pets, and their summons? I’m not aware of any such option. It’s a huge nuisance.
  • I remembered another bug that’s been around forever: The AI of animated undead is broken for a lot of content (Blackthorn, Treasures events, etc.). They don’t attack. Could this be investigated?
  • Pawain said: How many years have I been telling you these players are attended? They don't say Hi, the GM asks a specific question.  Can range from how are you today to some other ice breaker.  Maybe a simple math question. Pawain, the OP…
  • The only person I know who was ever actioned just for using the client was a noob who humorously paged a GM with basically a tech support question on how to use certain features. The client was used so ubiquitously by other players that the noob did…
  • username, Everyone is permitted to use the client in practice. They aren't banning anyone and probably never will. They indicated as much when they said only EJ accounts would be actioned. I doubt this is even happening. The blip from the other week…
  • Low hanging fruit ideas: The team should update Test Center to be on par with today's UO. Please add commands for the following: Get max Arcane Focus Skip Spellweaving quest requirement Dispense all event rewards
  • It’s a good idea. I’ve seen this on at least one private shard. I took the liberty of copying the idea to the stickied thread soliciting player feedback for the upcoming year: https://forum.uo.com/discussion/15387/what-would-you-like-to-see-in-2025/…
  • Copying another user’s idea here: https://forum.uo.com/discussion/15487/history-for-vendor ^Provide a way for the user to see recent transactions on their vendor. Additional idea unrelated to the above: Rework claim pet gump so that you can see …
  • Hi jgranai1, The EC has a hotbar by default. There is an icon that looks like a message bubble. Clicking it will open the screen to join a channel. If you don't have this icon on the hotbar, you may find it in the list of Actions (press escape >…
