New news letter

19 Years of Britannian Legacy

Greetings Everyone,
   I would like to start off by thanking each of you for supporting Ultima Online as we celebrate 19 years this September 24th!  As a special thanks to our long time subscribers we are going to deposit 500 Sovereigns in every master account with an active subscription account at least 10 years old as a token for our appreciation of your continued support! You will notice this by the end of September so make sure you visit the Ultima Store to claim this gift!

   We are working hard on getting Publish 95 out the door by mid-November.  In the next publish we have a nice Holiday crafting event that I am sure everyone will enjoy.  We've added new creatures to the Huntmaster's Challenge and have some nice Holiday gifts and of course new Veteran Rewards.  We are adding a new mount so we hope you like creepy crawly things *evil grin*.  Publish 95 will be coming to TC1 soon so we hope to see everyone there to help check out and test the new content!

   We had an issue with the Origin store where players were not able to purchase game time codes for a few days which caused us to turn off housing decay until the issue was resolved.  To give a grace period to allow people enough time to buy and apply the codes we are waiting until Tuesday, September 27th to turn the Housing Warehouse back on.  At that time you will be able to place, resize and trade houses again.

   While we are in the process of finishing up the publishes of 2016, we have already started with the planning of the first publish of 2017.  We are going to have a Pet Revamp (I promise no neon pets).  So stay tuned for more information on this system and what you can expect in a future newsletter.  

See you in Britannia,

Bonnie "Mesanna" Armstrong

yes!  3 accounts with 500 sovereigns each!   

[Razz]

that'll buy half a soul stone.

I really hope this is not a trend to replace the in game anny gift bags they have been giving out.

All Hallows Eve Approaches

Don't forget that during the month of October you can visit any of Britannia's pumpkin patches in hopes of encountering the deadly Grimms for a chance to claim a carveable pumpkin.  If you are brave enough, you can wrangle a carving kit from one of the Butchers in any of Britannia's graveyards.  When used on the carveable pumpkin, the carving kit will reward one of several different jack o' lantern designs - including designs that are new for this year!

Beggars across Britannia will also once again take their luck to the citizens of the realm at hopes for a few tricks and even more treats.  Don't forget this year we've got many new treats including spiced apple trays, a tabletop gypsy wagon lamp, and more!

Finally, there is still time for you to venture into the Kotl City and claim the many rewards held within!  The Kotl City will be available until Publish 95 goes World Wide in November.  Any crafting items related to Automaton crafting will be available through the new BOD system being released in Publish 95.  If there are non-automaton crafting items associated with the Kotl City you still wish to get your hands on act now - next year's Treasures of Halloween dungeon could be completely new with different rewards!

New Item Preview
Here's a preview of some of the new reward items for various content that is part of Publishes 94 & 95.  Note that some of these are early concepts and may change for final implementation.









Question & Answer Corner
1.   How many times can I change my secret word?

We will assist you with changing your secret word once.  After that it will only be changed after an account has been unlinked with the information changed showing a change of ownership.

2.  How long with the Treasures of the Kotl City be available? 

The Treasures of the Kotl City will be active until we publish 95 which is in the middle of November.  After that Automaton items can be obtained through the new BOD system that will be available with Publish 95.

3. How many new skills will be covered with the new BOD system?

Eight total but 6 new skills.  Tinkering, Fletching, Alchemy, Inscription, Carpentry, and Cooking will all added in the new BOD system.

4 .  When will you be giving out information about the 20th anniversary party?

As soon as a few of the plans are finalized we will be sending out an email and posting to try to get an idea of how many people will be able to attend.

I won't be wasting a vet reward on the spider mount.

Looks kind of majestic though.

The design is good, I just hate spiders

[Blind Otto]

Gah! I have not even FOUND the Kotl City yet! Must. Try. Harder.

Still, I might find use for a gigantic spider... it can keep Ottobug company while I am working.
