Ultima Online: We Love New Players…For Dinner.


Okay, not so much.

So technically it’s been years since a romp through Ultima Online meant quickly being chewed up, spit out, stomped on, cremated, and then having your stuff stolen by the many denizens of Lord British’s lands, but the idea still stands. Bioware Mythic would love to have you for dinner, so much so that new players will find themselves handsomely rewarded for setting up new accounts with Ultima Online.

In the new player initiative, new accounts (not trial) will receive welcome presents, including twenty thousand gold, skill boosts, as well as premium armor and weapons…until they lose all of it ten minutes later wandering outside of the starting area looking for a bank. I kid, of course…

But it gets better! Those of you from the old days of Ultima Online will be glad to hear that the live events are coming back. Old characters will be making returns, and story arcs will play out live, with developer interaction of course.

It’s never too late to give Ultima Online a try. The game runs slightly cheaper than most other subscription titles, and offers a 14 day trial.

More on Ultima Online as it appears.

    1. Hello Charlie,

      I got your comment on MMO Fallout, but it’s taken me a day or so to respond, which I apologize. If you lost the disk for Ultima Online, you can redownload it from http://www.uoherald.com/news/index.php, where you can find the download button on the right hand side of the page. In fact, you’re probably better off having lost the disk, as it would be incredibly out of date by now.

      You will need to reactivate your subscription of course, but the link I sent you is to the official Ultima Online website.

      I attempted to send this to you through your listed email, but received a delivery failure notification, so I’m posting it here.
