"Ruins and Riches" is a popular free shard (player-run server) for Ultima Online, inspired by the early days of UO (around the T2A/Renaissance era).

Skill-Based Progression Classic 7x skill gain rate (not too fast, not too slow). No Pay-to-Win Pure donation-free gameplay (cosmetic donations only). Active PvP & PvE Felucca-only world with dungeons, champ spawns, and faction warfare. Crafting & Economy Player-driven economy with no NPC vendors selling top-tier gear. No Custom Client Required Works with standard ClassicUO, Orion, or Razor. Active Community Typically 100-300+ players online, with guilds and events.
