Broadsword is the current developer of Ultima Online (UO), one of the most influential and long-running MMORPGs in gaming history. Heres what you need to know: Broadsword and Ultima Online Takeover from EA: - In 2014, Electronic Arts (EA) transferred development of Ultima Online to Broadsword Online Games, a studio founded by former Mythic Entertainment (creators of Dark Age of Camelot) veterans. - Broadsword has since been responsible for updates, events, and maintaining the games legacy. Current State of UO: - The game is still active with official shards (servers) and regular content updates. - Broadsword has introduced seasonal events, quality-of-life improvements, and new expansions like Kingdom Reborn and Time of Legends. - Popular shards include Atlantic (most populated), Great Lakes, and Siege Perilous (hardcore ruleset). Free-to-Play Option: - Ultima Online offers a free-to-play (Endless Journey) mode with some restrictions (e.g., limited bank space, no house ownership). - A paid subscription unlocks full features, including housing and advanced skills. Community & Private Shards: - The UO community remains passionate, with private shards like UO Outlands (custom map/rules) and UO Renaissance (classic-era emulation) offering alternative experiences. Recent Updates: - Broadsword has focused on balancing, bug fixes, and new content like dungeons, items, and PvP/PvE events. - Theyve also added new player-friendly features to ease onboarding. How to Play Official: Download via www.uo.com (subscription or Endless Journey). Private Shards: Popular options include UO Outlands, UO Renaissance, and UO Forever. Future of UO While the game is aging, Broadsword continues to support it, and the community keeps it alive through mods, roleplay, and PvP.

Amazing expansion!

The War Within brings so much fresh content to WoW. The new zones are absolutely stunning and the storyline is engaging. Been playing for 15 years and this expansion reignited my passion for the game.

Great raids, some bugs

The new raid content is fantastic with challenging mechanics. However, there are still some bugs that need to be ironed out. Overall a solid expansion that keeps me coming back for more.
