Patch 11.0.5 Now Live
Major balance changes to all classes, new dungeon difficulty, and holiday events are now available. Check out the full patch notes for details.
As of mid-2024, Ultima Online (UO) still maintains an active player base, though exact numbers are not officially published by Broadsword Online Games (the current developer). Heres what we know: Estimated Player Count: Official Shards (Servers): - The most populated official shards (e.g., Atlantic, Great Lakes, Europa) likely have 1,0003,000 active players each during peak times. - Smaller shards may have a few hundred players. - Total across all official shards is estimated at 10,00020,000 active players worldwide. Free Shards (Private Servers): - Popular free shards (e.g., UO Outlands, UO Renaissance, UO Alive) often rival or exceed official server populations. - UO Outlands, the largest free shard, reportedly has 3,0005,000+ concurrent players at peak times. - Other free shards may range from 1001,000 players. Why No Exact Numbers? Broadsword does not release official player counts. Free shard populations fluctuate and are self-reported. Steam charts are unreliable for UO, as most players use the classic client. Trends: The game retains a dedicated niche community despite its age (released in 1997). Free shards attract more players due to custom content and quality-of-life improvements. Events and updates (e.g., New Legacy mode rumors) occasionally spike interest. For the latest estimates, check: UOs official forums (https://www.uo.com) Free shard discords/websites (e.g., UO Outlands) Reddit communities (r/ultimaonline, r/uooutlands) Would you like help finding a shard to join?

Venture into the depths of Azeroth itself in this groundbreaking expansion. Face new threats emerging from the planet's core, explore mysterious underground realms, and uncover secrets that will reshape your understanding of the Warcraft universe forever.
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.
