Ultima Online has thrived for 10 years and achieved the status of an MMO classic, thanks in large part to the devoted player community. We are very excited to celebrate this special anniversary with players.
Aside from the amnesty program, players can also look forward to a special monster monster hunt to commemorate Ultima Online‘s tenth anniversary. Prizes for upcoming quests include an ankh pendant necklace, map of Brittania, an Ultima Online commemorative sculpture, and and a virtue armor set.
