Ultima Online officially becomes old enough to get its driving license this year, and the folks at Broadsword have decided to celebrate by running a Return to BBritanniaCampaign. For the entire month of October, everyone will be able to log in and play free of charge. Players are encouraged to check out the new vice vs virtue system, as well as advisors, the high seas expansion, and more.

The welcome back campaign runs through October and is available for all players new and returning.

Return To Britannia In September


Fifteen is a big number for any video game to still receive regular support and updates, but Ultima Online has been trucking along since its launch in September 1997. Actually these days it seems like five is a high number for many MMOs to still receive regular updates. Still, the fact that Ultima Online is still alive and kicking says a lot about the development team behind it, and what better way to celebrate than to invite everyone back for a month?

For fifteen years Britannia has been a world of arcane arts and cold steel, a world where the Apprentice can become Legendary, a world where Warriors become Champions. Throughout its rich past Britannia has been a place where histories have unfolded, where new friends have become family, and where each new adventure can lead to great fortune.

Through the month of September, old players are welcome to come back. Simply log into your account and start playing.

Important: The Return to Britannia event does not begin until September 5th. I’m not sure why this isn’t announced on the news page, but it was confirmed elsewhere.
