Hail, fellow Britannians! Do any of you have it? The itch? Is it keeping you up at night tossing and turning, murmuring "An Nox" under your breath, but no matter what you do, you can't find any relief? Fear not, because I've got just the cure! It's called Tides of Power! ToP is a free-to-play, classic Ultima Online private server set in the aftermath of a catastrophic flood. The shard mechanics are shaped around the T2A and UOR era from UO. Join me and a handful of other GoD alumni along with Onslaught from ZT and a sundry group of Great Lakes all-stars from different eras.

Join us and find some relief!

Oh, and it's free.

If you guys are looking for a pretty dope replica of The Good Old Days, I can recommend https://www.uosecondage.com/ I've been on it for about a year now. It's just like we remember. About 200 active players. Lots of PKs, but lots of anti-PK guilds too. The community has some toxicity, but if you just ignore the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, there are lot of good and helpful people as well.

whats up ninjas? This is ninjuggalo formerly of BC Prior to that I had my own guild MCL-much clown love. aka dyne still on gl, now in GOF

Hey Everyone, I've recently been playing the Legends of Aria community server Legends of Britannia. They currently are re-creating the entire UO map. You can re-live the UO experience in the unit engine. I've been playing for about 6 months now. Definitely worth checking out if you want to ignite that old nostalgia. https://shardsofbritannia.com/ - join the discord. Community is active. Cheers and hope to see some of you in the game!

Hello All,
Played on Lake Superior for years. Stopped sometimes around Samurai Empire. Member of Moonglow Defense Force [MDF] and Natural Born Killers [NBK]. Owned a Chaos Villa and the Small tower outside of Moonglow's south gate. Have contributed code to RunUO and tinkered with ServUO.
Great Lakes was my backup Shard.
Glad to meet you all.

If anyone is interested in joining the GoD discord server..we have a bunch of guys from other guilds there as well. Long live great lakes! https://discord.gg/33SyqXv

I remember SiN guild and KoS as well. I remember a guy named Chris the Avatar who had a badass castle on Ice Island (the one with Deceit dungeon). I followed him home one day in ghost form and spied on one of their guild meetings. It was epic.

Has anyone found a good player-run server for T2A? I have yet to love a game as much as UO

So I played on Great Lakes a long time ago, my named was "ogre" and my brother's name was "Judas Cloud." It was around 1998 to early 2000s and I remember things like Kazola's Treetop Winery between Yew and the moongate as well as the ShadowClan Orcs. Some guild names too like SiN and KoV, I guess it's been over 20 years since those days!

22 yrs later amazing how much time has gone by.

Hail and well met!

I played as Dark Shadow and Sonya. Always hung out in Vesper.

Kijard here anyone from OBA or KoS feel free to add me or anyone else that knew me, got to wondering the other day if anyone was still around from back then

I forgot about this group. I definitely miss UO sometimes. Great Lakes was a good server. I was Dargonus from Dark Side Soldiers (DSS).

A pleasure, to see some fellow players from Great Lakes. Looking for some old RP buddies. Kelly Darkhaven, Ian Nottingham, Jakob Covenant and Ariyana Sune. This is Undead Hunter.

Albion Online, UO 2? check it out looks pretty good, i signed up for the beta yesterday

Hey guys. Just wanna say. Keep an eye out. We got a very large project we're working on called Ultima Shards. It will host multiple expansions as well as EU/US servers.

This will be an extremely populated shard maintained by developers whom have worked on the most populated freeshards in the past. Keep an eye out and check us out for future updates. We have JUST began developing fully for it. So itll be some time, but definitely worth every minute. www.ultima-shards.com

Hey was just seeing if theres any old school people i used to play with my char names were DEATH and Bong Boy I was in FS! with sanginerious necro and furby amongst others...looking to get on some free to play servers if anyone is down

I'd have to pass. UO had its moment in the spot light, but the freeshards just aren't worth coming back for.

If anyone still reads this chat, I recommend you all try out a freeshard UO Shadow Age.
Its an AOS ran professionally and is growing pretty quickly in numbers of players, peaking at 200.

It has so many fixes to the old game and so many new enhanced features.

Definitely needs to be something tried out for any old UO fan.

The website is www.uoshadowage.com

Cheers!

Also, is Chris the Avatar anywhere to be seen on this forum? I HATED that guy! (Mainly because he was so good. He owned a castle on Ice Island which I used to infiltrate as a ghost in order to spy on his guild meetings *we were at war*). Such good times.

Is anyone else concerned that pre-patch UO on GL server broke their gaming experiences for life? It was kind of like having a sweet, kind supermodel as your first girlfriend, not realizing how good you had it until you started seeing all those trashy girls in college.

I'm 31 now, married, a beautiful daughter, 2 dogs, and a mortgage, and I still find myself listening to the UO music channel on YouTube at least a few times a week. And watching the same UO videos over and over, trying to relive the glory in some small manner.

UO broke my ability to enjoy video games, I mean *really* enjoy, in that adrenaline-pumping, I'm going to go mine green ore and smelt it and make armor and feel proud wearing it around town sort of way. They simply don't make them like they used to.

I fear I will never love another game quite the same... even after 16 years, I have clearly not moved on.

Just wanted to invite any and all to go oldschool with us and join us in our IRC chat.

If we get enough, we can just make a Great Lakes channel or whatever. Spread the word.

Punkte's server launched this weekend. Fun server although I'm trying to remember all the AoS era rules... Sampo GL

Man.. used to get my ass kicked by the majority of the people in this group.

Longterm housing changes to benefit the shard over time
New PvP Faction Battle Pits, + Other faction changes.

List will be growing. Help become part of the community!
Your ideas and suggestions will help shape this server!

Hey Guys!

I'm lead admin of a new AoS freeshard that is currently in development.

UO Shadow Age

First, I would like to say this team is one of the most professional team in all of UO Freeshards.

We currently have 7 staff members, including 2 professional developers and 1 professional web developer.

All 7 of us will be available in game for help around the clock.


We will be launching our permanent forum in a week to start the hype process and help us get in touch with our community and hear their suggestions.

We have some great systems planned including a COMPLETELY revamped Guild System with guild levels, treasuries, and perks, to help guilds play together and stay playing much longer. An achievement system that will actually immerse the player into the game more than other servers attempts. We also have some housing changes planned as well.

This will truly be the greatest AoS (Felucca ONLY) freeshard around.

We will keep you all posted.

-UO Shadow Age Team

Helios/Vaskir/Vrangex/Zylthor Magua here - also played as char named Ping for a while in FS! towards the end of UO. Who all's playing ESO next week?

Another thing - if anyone remembers Unreal/Unreal-iG from back in the day it's MLB player Hunter Pence. Always thought he was full of ♥♥♥♥ when talking about how good he was at baseball down in Texas but jokes on me because he is big time now lol.

sup salem! sup jenova!

Grayson SOB / DDH checking in .. 1997 and up baby :)

Jenova here, played mostly around 99-03. Played with several of the top guilds over the years, my best memories were with D-I towards the end of ren. Sup Elric. Also had some brief stints in FS!, ZT, GoD, and later ressurected an offshoot of D-I, DaB that I ended up running throughout pub16. I remember almost everyone in this thread. Really miss pcgaming.cc, no one could ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ quite like we could. Anyone remember Sang's mustang? Dissapointed to see IPY3 cancelled as I was hoping to see some old faces on there... UO will never die, there will never be another like it.

Salem here. I also played as J O K E R, Papa Smurf, etc. Played on GL between 97-03.

Sup

Hey all, am I the only one that got peeved way back when UO allowed people to pay for a maxed out GM character when it took a year or two for us to level up? Also am I the only one that feels that the whole insurance thing really killed any real loss for dying? Grrr I say to modern innovations!

♥♥♥♥ yeah! player of the week!
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ i want a UO2... too bad EA ate it and shat it out...

GoD's looking for old UO players to roll in Darkfall:U/W with us! If you're interested leave a message here or post on our forums: http://godswrathclan.enjin.com/forum

Hey, I was Agent X on GL from 97 to 2005

Silk you dirty pirate you. ;) glad to see you still around

Hey guys, BlackDawn here, rares dealer evil mage collector from way back when the good old days of uo, anyone around?

Any other BC in the house?

I was Scott Baio, Satans Lance, PK Boo, The Hung Garian, Jean-Christophe

I'm pretty sure I sold this guy my prized Blessed Surpassingly Accurate Silver Katana of Vanquishing on E-bay back in the late nineties. Turns out he became a Russian Spy. From his location, he likely played on the GL Shard. Crazy world.
