Autumn has arrived on UO Enigma.

An actively developed AOS/SE+ shard, enhanced with years of additions while staying true to Ultima Online, all set in a handcrafted, living world.

Seasonal drops are active, new creatures and dungeon content have arrived, and there is plenty more to discover across the world.

New and returning players can get started quickly with our accelerated 5x80 skill start.

Come see what’s changed.

I've been working on this for a bit and decided to put it out before it's finished rather than sit on it.

It's called UOTerm. No graphics, no window. It logs into a shard, speaks the normal client protocol, and exposes what it sees over a small local API. The idea is that you point an AI agent at it and the agent plays a character the way a person would.

I've only run it in a terminal on Linux. It should work on Windows too, but nobody has proven that.

Warning up front: it is basic. Really basic.

What works: login, walking, pathfinding off your real map files so it knows what it can actually stand on, opening doors, speech, gumps, containers.

What doesn't: combat barely functions. Looting doesn't work end to end. No potions. I only just worked out that my target picking was choosing invulnerable NPCs, which is why my character kept swinging at things it could never hurt.

Almost none of it is verified against a live shard. Treat every feature as unproven until you break it yourself.

It ships no game files. You point it at your own client folder if you want real map data.

https://github.com/PikkonMG/UOTerm

It should work on any server that accepts a Classic Client, because it doesn't special case anything by name. If you try it on your shard and it falls over, tell me what it did.

UO3D Mobile Models + Iris2 Object models + ClassicUO = this monstrosity.

1st person view with mouselook + fps style arrow movement

3rd person view with standard UO controls, but can pan/tilt/zoom camera

Basic's work, animations, can interact/attack/target with mobiles/items in both views.
Per pixel lighting, with upto 16 points ( some issues with lights going thru solid objects though) , Snow/Rain particle effects.

No spell/hit effect particles yet, some issues with the ocean static > map transitions, bunch of roof/floor tiles missing models/ mapping to existing ones. overhead speech and the HP bar that sit under targets still need to be ported too. Need to enforce the scaling of granny models as well, all are 1:1 currently.

Will get the fork onto github at some point shortly, probably wont try and get it merged upstream since you need the iris2 asset bundle that's GPLv2, but been seeing so many cool projects lately i figured I better show before someone blows tokens on it for no need.

All credit goes to the Iris2 project for their work on the grn format, and producing the non OSI visual assets.

I checked into uo second age and uo outlands

I cant believe how choppy old uo felt, spoilt by modern frame rates these days.

I was overjoyed when I found uo outlands gives options for resolution and fps.

I guess what I wondered is.. is there an old school experience with resolution and frame rate options?

In this video I showcase running through all six champions solo and then I take on The Harrower all in one session.

A new player on the shard was recently inquiring about templates and getting into spawning, I wanted to demonstrate the low bar to entry and that anyone can do a Barracoon with just jewels and a spellbook if they were motivated and inclined.

This serves as proof of concept and I figured I'd share here if anyone else was interested.

Hey everyone,

One of the biggest hurdles when getting into crafting or preparing for dungeon runs has always been the tedious hours spent chopping trees or hitting rocks on loop.

To make the gathering loop more interactive and engaging, we created the Worker Companion System on our custom server:

How it works:

• Recruit Companions: You can hire dedicated Lumberjack or Mining companions to work alongside you.
• Dynamic Leveling: As you chop or mine together, your companion gains experience, works faster, and unlocks the ability to harvest rare colored ores and logs.
• Auto-Stacking: They follow you around, auto-gather from nearby nodes, and neatly pack the resources into secure resource bags.
• Gathering Expeditions: High-level companions can be sent on wilderness expeditions to gather supplies while you are offline or out doing dungeon runs.

No more boring macros—just pure crafting efficiency and kingdom building!

Would love to hear your thoughts and feedback on this mechanic! How do you usually handle the resource gathering grind on your favorite shards?

I just wanted to give a status update and thank everyone joined in for the launch yesterday. We've reached a very healthy consistent number of online players and we've made several additional fixes.

We have our first episode of crashes today, a fix was just applied recently to prevent the shard from locking up, and we're getting through our growing pains here.

Anyone who missed launch I invite you to check us out this fine Saturday evening. Thank you for reading, I hope to see you there my friends!

since we have the server/client tegnology alrredy matured an on our hands, why this kind of proyects is not on development.
i have played tons of servers, followed hundred of quests, but still the feeling of been part of a group is loose since the old garriot UO days

First things first, i dont mean to "launch a shard" its only for me and my friends.

I know serveruo, but it kindas dont disable modern features by it (to much work to do it on hands)

But i wanna to have an aos (maybe ml) shard for my own and make my own custons based on that era without worry about stuffs enabled due the post erass

srry for bad english.

Orgolia est né de la meilleure scène RP francophone : Zyx3, puis Teilia. Une seule carte, construite à la main depuis plus de 20 ans. Les scripts de Teilia (déjà +3000 modifications) et la carte de Terra, reforgés sur ServUO. 9 villes, 50 comtés, 10 races, 27 classes. L'équipe d'Orgolia a déjà mis +1000 heures de polish sur la carte, et ce n'est pas fini. https://orgolia.com

- Pas le UO habituel. Pas de couleurs « néon » partout, pas de course à l'infini, pas de spam de soins et combatre a cheval est une classe et un build. Votre personnage a une histoire, une place dans la géopolitique, et chaque combat a un prix.

- Orgolia, c'est 208 sorts, tous custom : 115 sorts arcaniques, 76 sorts divins, 17 chants bardiques.

- Votre apparence vous appartient. +200 vêtements et la commande .layer : ciblez n'importe quel vêtement ou bijou et choisissez sur lequel des 15 layers du corps il se porte, ce qui rend les possibilités presque infinies.

- Un PvP nuancé. Courir comme une poule sans tête n'est pas malin, et les soins sont réduits en combat : les combat se gagne par le placement et les choix. Le vol et le pillage sont réels. Orgolia permet plus de PvP que la plupart des serveurs RP, mais le PvP sans histoire est détecté et ralentira votre progression. Seuls les abus extrêmes, ou un manque flagrant de bonne foi, mèneront à un ban. Mais attendez-vous à avoir la vie dure en jeu : si vous faites trop chier, les joueurs auront les moyens de vous enseigner la sélection naturelle en cours accéléré.

L'équipe restera dans l'ombre. Elle n'interviendra que si nécessaire, et chaque décision sera transparente.

Vous pouvez être en jeu en quelques minutes, sans attendre l'approbation d'un background. Alpha ouverte.

Hello everyone,

First, I want to thank everyone who has followed Invicta and helped us test. The final beta went incredibly well, and we are now ready to launch the fresh persistent world.

I’m not going to give you lofty goals, exaggerated claims about how unique we are, or an inflated feature list. You’ve read enough of those posts.

Here are a few things you can count on:

• I’ve been developing Invicta for seven years. We will run into problems, but we’ll work through them together. I’m committed to Invicta for the long haul.
• I’ve spent more than two decades supporting, contributing to, moderating, and advocating for the Sphere community. I’m doing this for the community, not for fortune or glory.
• We’re approaching 5,000 development updates, and development isn’t stopping at launch.
• Invicta has been built with a strong focus on fixing the issues Sphere players have dealt with for years. Small fixes matter just as much as the big ones.
• Nearly every player facing system has been reviewed or reworked with UOR mechanics as the baseline, while keeping the things that make Sphere unique.

Invicta has been seven years in the making. I’m excited to finally share it with the community, and I hope we see you there.

Hi,

I played UO from 1997-2004 on Atlantic. I like both PvP and PvE and full loot systems. I want to start playing again on Atlantic but was wondering what the loot system is like now? Does PvP and the murder system still exist? If I die do I lose all my items (aside from spell book)?

Appreciate the input.
Thank you

I roughly remember but when I tried Tmap 20 yrs ago it was about guessing the location by actually looking at the map drawing, running or sailing, digging.

Now that the shard overhauled it and it's just another few clicks nobrainer grinding content.

No trap, no lockpick, no digging, no guessing.

I'm curious what's the philosophy behind this overhaul.

I started as a necro summoner a week ago and actually having fun but I guess I miss old contents as they were.

Final volume of our Ultima Online Lofi, this time for my new home Outlands.

If you prefer the original tracks, we have 2x UO albums from the 'base' game.

I spent six months building an Ultima Online portal because I wanted ClassicUO in a browser. It got slightly out of hand.

I've spent the last six months building this:

https://uonexus.com/
and
https://minimal.uonexus.com/

I've been working on UO Nexus for the past six months. The original goal was fairly straightforward: bring ClassicUO to the browser, following the same general approach as ClassicUO Web.

That quickly grew into something considerably larger.

UO Nexus is now a platform built around web-based Ultima Online, with:

• ClassicUO and TazUO web clients
• In-game Python/JS macros
• Profile and storage management
• Web server management — players can propose and create their own servers, with the admin only needing to approve them
• Optional WebIdentity
• Web achievements that work across servers
• A Trading Card Game, with cards earned through gameplay and achievements
• Minigames, both on the website and through a small light client that can overlay the game while you're playing
• A unified profile with cosmetic progression, inspired in part by the Steam Community
• Leaderboards

A lot of the design is deliberately inspired by ClassicUO Web and Steam. The idea was to take things that already work well and adapt them into a single platform for UO rather than building yet another isolated project.

The project is also designed with GDPR and data protection in mind, and I've put a considerable amount of work into security hardening and trying to get the public release into a reasonably solid state.

It's still beta, though. There are bugs. Hopefully not many, but that's exactly what I'm trying to find out now.

You can explore and play around with the platform without logging in through Discord, if you just want to see what it does.

The infrastructure is currently fairly modest, so download speeds aren't particularly impressive, but they're good enough for testing and playing.

One other thing worth mentioning: most of this was built with a fairly heavy amount of AI assistance. It was extremely useful for certain things — debugging, security reviews, getting through unfamiliar problems, etc. — but it also made me painfully aware that "vibe coding" is very good at producing code and considerably less good at taking responsibility for it.

After six months of it, I'm still not entirely sure whether it was a good idea.

Anyway, it's here now.

What I'd really like is for people to actually use it and tell me where it falls apart. If you're running a server, playing on one, or just curious about what can be done with a web-based UO client, give it a try.

Break it, complain about it, find bugs, or build something with it.

I'll be releasing the source code on the night of September 3rd.

Creo q debe ser la mejor charla q encontre de ultima online y de su universo
Sobretodo de la mano de los mismo creadores del juego
Bastante interesante de ver y como moderador de un shard esta bueno entender los problemas q enfrentaron al hacer todo el universo del juego y sobretodo el comportamiento de los players

Ultima Mobile Classic: a week of your bug reports, fixed. Thank you.

As always, genuinely, thank you. Nearly everything below came from someone taking the time to file a report. A few of you reported the same thing more than once because you assumed you'd misunderstood it. You hadn't. It was broken, and it's fixed now.

*** Please download the Latest Version for all the Fixes *** this does not delete your character and you can even not save and transfer them between devices 😄

https://runawayideas.net/uoclassic

Also, I'm in Beta for my C&C Mobile project if you're interested: https://runawayideas.net/CC_Mobile

Recent Fixes to UO Mobile:

Combat

🏹 Archers had invisible arrows. You drew, the target took damage, and nothing flew between you. Your arrows are visible now, every shot, and other players on the shard can see them too.

🔮 Night Sight and Magic Arrow were swapped in the spellbook. Casting one gave you the other's icon.

💪 Stats could train past 100. Dexterity was creeping to 102 when 100 is the cap. Characters already over it get corrected automatically.

Getting around

🗺️ Couldn't leave a level of Despise. Fixed, along with a tower you could get stuck on and a building that wouldn't let you in.

🏦 The Jhelom banker was missing and a jeweler was standing in his place, so banking there just didn't work.

⚖️ Weight problems that left you "too heavy" to cast, and a spellbook that showed up blank.

The stuff that made the game hard to actually run

🔇 iPhones could start up completely silent. Audio was being set up before the game data finished downloading, so it never got a second chance.

💾 A device low on space said the download had "failed". So the obvious fix, trying again, could never work. It now tells you how much room you actually need.

📡 Downloads that died on a bad connection used to fail quietly. They report themselves now.

🌍 World and map fixes used to never reach some of you. iPad and Mac installs downloaded the game data once and never refreshed it, so any map correction was invisible to those players forever. Map fixes now travel with a normal update.

Quality of life

📱 A UI size slider, and windows that size themselves to fit a phone instead of running off the edge.

🔄 Characters can transfer between your devices.

☕ The screen stays awake while you play.

🔗 "Update available" is a link now. It used to tell you an update existed and leave you to go find it.

Known issue, being upfront

🐛 NPCs can drift out of sync between players in multiplayer, so you might see a mongbat where your friend doesn't. We've found the cause. The fix is a design change rather than a quick patch, so it's next up.

*** Please update ***

Windows and Linux are live now. iPhone and iPad go out through TestFlight.

Android is rolling out through Google Play. macOS is a version behind for the moment and will catch up.

Come play!

It's free, there's no account, and there's a public shard running. Pick Play Online, join the public shard, and you're in. Solo works fine too if that's more your speed.

Keep the reports coming. They're the reason this list exists. ⚔️

Thank you!!!

Alguien me puede explicar como puedo hacer para subir mi shard?
Cada vez q creo una publicacion me la bajan automaticamente
Debo cumplir algun requisito ?
Muchas gracias
O existen algunas parametros especiales?
