| UO Origins - A Pre-T2A Shard
Origins was created with the single goal of recreating the authentic experience of Ultima Online when it was first launched in 1997 (Pre-T2A). This time period is unique as it brings together various gameplay styles and allows them to interact in one single world. The ultimate sandbox experience. Whether you enjoy PvE, PvP, RP, exploring, or being a craftsman, you are challenged to progress with very few game mechanics to hold your hand. It sounds daunting at first, but UO veterans know that this creates the best MMORPG experience possible.
Since development began, our only design goal was to stay 100% true to the era. This means what when you play Origins, you are playing the closest thing to the original Ultima Online. We will never modify the gameplay from this era to favor a certain playstyle or for something that is out-of-era. Development decisions have been based on Patch Notes from the time (everything up to the release of The Second Age), and other valid sources of information. This is as close as any freeshard is going to get.
Origins is powered by RunUO 2.1 and runs on a high-end dedicated server.
