Setting up a private Ultima Online (UO) server allows you to customize the game, host friends, or create a unique shard. Heres a step-by-step guide to get started: Choose a UO Server Emulator The most popular emulators for private UO servers are: RunUO (Classic, stable, but older) ServUO (Updated fork of RunUO with modern features) Sphere (Custom scripting, but less common today) POL (Pentagram Online Legacy) (Script-heavy, flexible) Recommendation: ServUO (easiest for beginners, actively updated). Download Required Files Server Files: Get the latest ServUO release from GitHub. Client: Use ClassicUO (modern client) or the official UO Classic Client (version 7.0.15+ recommended). UO Data Files: Youll need client.exe, map files, and other assets (from a legal UO installation). Set Up the Server Extract ServUO to a folder (e.g., C:ServUO). Edit Server.cfg (adjust ports, server name, etc.). Run ServUO.exe (or RunUO.exe for RunUO). - First run generates default accounts (admin/admin by default). Test locally by connecting via 127.0.0.1 (port 2593). Configure Your Server Data Paths: Edit DataPath.cfg to point to your UO client files. Scripts: Customize gameplay in Scripts/ folder (e.g., skills, items, mobs). Accounts: Use commands in-game or edit Save/Accounts/ XML files. Port Forwarding: If hosting for others, forward port 2593 (TCP/UDP) in your router. Customize Your Shard XML Spawner: Add NPCs, monsters, and loot. Razor/UOSteam: Enable for quality-of-life features. Discord Integration: Use bots for player interaction. Website: Set up a simple PHP/MySQL site for registration (optional). Connect to Your Server Launch ClassicUO or UO Client. Add a new server entry: - IP: Your local IP (or public IP if hosting). - Port: 2593 (default). Log in with your admin account. Advanced Options Hosting Online: Use a VPS (e.g., AWS, Linode) for 24/7 uptime. Backups: Regularly save the Save/ folder. Anti-Cheat: Implement UOAC or custom scripts. Troubleshooting Client/Server Version Mismatch: Ensure client and server use compatible protocols. Firewall Issues: Allow ServUO.exe in Windows Firewall. Script Errors: Check ServUO.log for issues. Legal Note Private servers are unofficial and for personal use only. Do not monetize without permission from Broadsword (UOs official owner).

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.
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.
