I feel like I read on Reddit about some new server that opened or am I going crazy? Iirc it was on the retail version, but I could be wrong.

Can anyone else shed some light? Lol

So I'm an OG player that's jumped in and out over the years but it's been awhile since my last jump. Last time I played I transferred some of my characters to Atlantic, bc that was the only popular server. That being said, Information online about the game, mechanics, skills, builds, etc was extremely scarce, so it was hard to get back into it and learn how to play. Does that barrier still exist?

Have they ever put out any update so the resolution can be bigger than the tiny ass 800x600 or whatever it was. Only will ever play classic, I don't like enhanced.

Are all the servers still pretty dead except Atlantic? And is there even housing space available on that shard?

Is there a place to learn how to play the game? Like with all the expansions over the years with the ninja stuff, and the codex powers or whatever they are, all that stuff was extremely confusing last time I tried to play. I love that UO has never handled held, but I played during the time where there was still a lot of active players and having someone teach you things on the daily was normal.

Last time I logged in I pulled some dragons from the stalls, ran around a dungeon or two I had a rune of, and got bored quickly because I didn't know about all the new systems.

I wouldn't mind keeping the sun going and jumping in here and there to play, but the barrier for entry was so hard last time I played, I almost went private bc the info and community was more accessible.

Hi everyone, I've playing ultima online on and off for the past few years in different servers. Latest being Outlands, which looks and feels awesome but even with the newbie dungeon and a few "safe spots", being a solo player is really difficult, at least for me.

Can anyone recommend a free pve shard, where I can set goals like buying a nice tower, getting myself a decent crafter/mage and/or warrior ans being able to dungeon by myself?

None of my friends are willing to go back on a nostalgia trip on UO, so I'm kinda on my own here. Also, I do have a full time job and IRL responsabilities to attend.

Any suggestion is more than welcome! Thank you!

Curious if this is possible or against ToS? I saw ClassicUO was reverted to being allowed by broadsword, and since MobileUO is based off ClassicUO I figured maybe it’s ok.

Unrelated question, anyone have experience with steam deck and UO?

Hey guys, what is the endgame loop like in this game? Is it similar to PvM in OSRS where you farm boss for better gear to then move onto the next tier of bosses and farm them then repeat forever? I'm trying to find a game I can play solo where I can sink a lot of hours into that type of endgame loop where I can farm rare weapons/gear etc. OSRS fits perfectly but the combat is just so boring, I need some buttons to press like you would in a normal MMO.

So I noticed its 13 dollars a month, basically WoW. Instantly read that as a red flag especially from the likes of EA. Now I have a real question, it looks fun. But also why 13, what makes that 13 dollars a month or 60 dollars every 6 months WORTH IT FOR U ?

Hello all,

I'm a new player wanting to try UO for the first time, I did a little bit of research and I'm hesitating between these 3 shards. My criteria are :

- F2P

- Something pretty casual, adult life kicked in and I don't have a lot of gaming time anymore, so I plan to play for the long run, but with smallish one hours cessions here and there.

- I know nothing about UO, so the criteria of "that shard is the closest to the original experience" doesn't mean anything to me. My first MMO was ESO so I don't crave old school mmo feeling because I never knew them, but I'm open to try of course !

- I dont mind the grind as long as I can do it slowly in the long run without the fomo.

- I'd love to not focus on combat, and more on trading-related gameplay and profession. Big bonus if I can haul merchandise from point A to B and make money out of it ! Bigger bonus if I can do it by boat !

I'm opened to other shard suggestions of course !

Thanks !

I play heavily on Outlands.

I am sick to FUCKING DEATH of dying to PK's when I am trying to grind some exp.

(take tracking, farm near gates yada yada) I'm done.

I am 33 years old. Full time job. 1 6yo kid. I only get to come online after his bedtime.

Outlands is absolutely packed out. The dungeons are heavily contested. The overworld is heavily contested.

My precious time is worth so much to me these days. I am not 14 anymore and can't stay up til 0300-0400.

I absolutely love the playstyle and all the new quality of life improvements that they have made.

I love levelling up the aspects and codex's. Makes me feel like I am progressing and doing good.

My absolute favourite build is where I run around, group up 10+ mobs. Stand still. Tank everything they can throw at me. Then lay down my ground traps and blow them all sky high.

Is there a shard out there that has similar gameplay? minus the death to dry looting fucks.

Cheers for reading my rant.

So I rejoined UO last year when I recovered my account from 1998 and I had auto pay on or so I thought. I hadn’t played since April due to life, work and getting engaged. Well I log back in tonight to find out my house is gone with everything in it. I guess my CC info expired back in April and I never got an email about it at all. What a bummer. End of rant.

Hello!
I am just posting to see if there is anyone that used to play on the Great lakes server around 1998-2001.
Love me or hate me I was Gil Ohmsford/Helm Strongblade. It would be nice to reconnect with anyone who remembers me.

EDIT: I rememembered a few more people: Enigma, Black Bird, Belial, Erratic and Woody

List of people I wonder if they would see this:

Mordor
Fireblaze
Sierra
Praterion
Saltan
CONTROL
Nighshade
Nalor
ANGRY BOB
Flea
Tinkerbella
Really anyone would be great to see hear from anyone from that period. Even people who didn't like me particularly.

Sorry if this type of post isn't allowed.

Hello guys, first off, I want to say that I've played UO on and off throughout my life. The game is several years older than me but it's the only game I come back to occasionally. I've played in BF clone servers, Outlands, UOALive, etc. but there was this one server that I remember enjoying that I just can't remember the name of.

All I remember is that the setting was inside a dungeon (at least the start) and you had levels (level 0,1,2,...) the more monsters you defeated, the higher your level got. That's honestly all I remember. I think it was a pvm server and the particular one I played could've been small, I'm not sure.

I know this is a weird request, but if someone remembers a similar server or knows what I'm talking about, please let me know.

Thanks!

I'm looking for a shard that is healthy and isn't too far removed from the core ultima online experience. I would play Outlands, but I'm not a fan of how they have changed the necromancy abilities. I would play Renaissance, but it seems its dead? Any thoughts? I do want PvP, but would like some decent PvM too!

Are there still larger plots available on Atlantic, or are they few and far between? I am just starting to pick the game up again and haven’t been able to find any spots yet, in Tram at least.

Heyo everyone! Thought I would drop this here for anyone looking.

No matter your play style, no matter your age, DGAF has a place for you!

Casual Flake? Parent with a full time job and 2 hours a month to play? Garden variety misfit?

Unlimited free time but just.....don't.....care....all that much? It doesn't matter!

We're a welcoming place for anyone who just wants to chill and play, chitchat while doing their own thing, or connect with others to tackle challenges. Post here, DM, or reach out to Tremere in game if interested!

Full Disclosure: It's just me right now, I'm not going to have time or interest in pushing any guild activities, and it's not a focus of the guild. It's for anyone who just wants to chill, play, and not be fussed. If you join and forget about us, no problem. If we're not doing enough enough content, no hard feelings. I just wanted a place for folks feeling left out, and who're more interesting in enjoying the journey than anything else.

So if that's you, check "us" out and fly the DGAF flag today.

ever since this last patch, i can only log into UO using the ClassicUO web client on only one character. If i try and log in with a different character it just says "Entering Britania" and does nothing. I've tried deleting all the profiles and deleting the storage and nothing works.

Just wondering if there is a general guild a lot of people have joined or if everyone is doing their own thing. Seems that New Legacy has a whole guild leveling system and while I usually prefer solo sometimes a group can be fun in it's own way.

I crafter all required but don't know how to continue.

I'm playing in retail (or I guess osi?) and working on a tamer for the first time. My pet keeps getting stuck in things and lost when I'm running around. How can I avoid this?

Hello everyone, since recently releasing my script pack i am looking towards adding some new members to my team. If you are interested in the below positions, please do message me on here or discord soullessone_
(user id 217424727789142016)

*C++ developer for the SphereServer X branch. You will be in charge of developing new features to support script functions, implement current scripts into the source where needed for performance, and maintaining the test environment in relation to the emulator. Focuses for this position would likely start with AI, Pathfinding, LOS, and combat system updates.

*Client Launcher, currently using GLC V2 Pro, which is a GUI that builds and maintains a client updater/launcher. This is not necessarily a software that is set in stone, and we can deviate from this for better options. You would be in charge of developing and maintaining the patcher on our test environment, and have pretty much free reign in terms of creativity, so long as it matches the general feel of the shard.

*Scripters experienced with the SphereScript language . please see the public script pack for references on what we are working with https://github.com/Soulless-1/YeOldeSphere-PublicScripts . ideally these scripters should be able to work independently developing complicated systems, testing them, pushing to the test environment, and organizing testing with users for a final smoke test. Eventually making a pull request to the production environment. These scripters would have developer level privilege's as staff on the test shard and live environment. There are certain systems that need finishing :
-bod system framework already complete, needing additional skills and functions added.
-tournament system nearly complete, needs additional support for a variety of events beyond DM, TDM, and 1v1 tournaments. Such as CTF, Last Man Standing, Etc
-a more complex boat system with features such as cannons, friend list, and map navigation

*Wikipedia contributors (utilizing MediaWiki), this has its own markup language which some of the formatting can be viewed here https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting while we do have a fair amount of content documented we are lacking in many areas. Wiki here : https://www.yeoldesphere.com/codex/index.php?title=Main_Page You would be working independently to submit change requests and new additions.

TLDR: Https://www.yeoldesphere.com looking for staff. message SoullessOne_ on Reddit or on Discord under the same name (user id 217424727789142016)

thanks! :)

Removing threads and messages when there is misconduct. Don't you think we should be protecting the integrity of the servers and showing the truth? I was following the GM Owyn thread because I've also had issues and mods removed it

Hey guys can you please help me? I need some art references for a character I had in mind.

A screenshot would be great!

BTW: I used to play on the Europa server and my char was Damien de Savant!

If you could pop a normal iron full platemail set with brown robes over the top [the wandering healer shade] that would be absolutely wonderful. I am talking about the original 2d paperdoll!

Thank you UO community.

[as a bonus if you could include with/without a kiteshield as well would be great]
