Happy Birthday UO

Ultima Online turned ten years old this week. It's amazing to think about the fact that even in its old age, the game is still going strong - continually provide updates with new content for players to enjoy.

The graphical overhaul by Kingdom Reborn certainly helped to breath new life into the game; not only did it introduce a 3D environment for players to explore - a stark contrast to the original game's 2D world - but it also introduced a new User Interface that allows interface modifications to be created.

Now with the 10th anniversary celebration, EA Mythic is offering a chance to return to Sosaria - all you need to do is re-install the game, start it up and log-in with your username and password. As long as your UO account is in good standing, you'll be able to play for free until October 9, 2 a.m. PST.

That's not all though; the new producer of Ultima Online - Chris Rabideau - took the opportunity to introduce himself to the community.
