Ultima Online is a video game that launched in 1994 and is still going strong today. In honor of the 24th anniversary of its release, developer New Legacy has released an update to the game, which includes new features such as raids, dungeons, and more.

Ultima Online is a game that was released in 1997 and has been going strong ever since. The ultima online: new legacy is a blog from the developers of the game, which celebrates its 24th birthday today.

Look at what we’ve got here: someone’s 24th birthday. It’s Ultima Online, often regarded as the father of the genre and the creator of the MMORPG, but if you read our Game Archaeologist column, you know we can go back farther in the lineage of “large” multiplayer games. But today is Ultima Online’s birthday, so let us raise a glass to the MMO that pioneered so many things and is still going strong under the Broadsword brand after hundreds of rivals.

The game received its 111th patch this week, just in time for the holidays, which adds anniversary presents, bonded pet adjustments, and new cu sidhe pet designs, as previously mentioned. The Halloween event will begin on October 1st, and the studio has teased the Treasures of Demons event as well as a new champ spawn.

Broadsword used its anniversary last year to unveil Ultima Online: New Legacy, a novice seasonal ruleset shard designed to make the game easier for new players. Family legacies, minimizing “bloat” in the game, gear stat adjustments, flag PvP, better abilities, treasure maps, and an emphasis on crafting were all mentioned in our previous look at development in June. We don’t have a date yet. The team said at the time, “As soon as we’re sure it’s ready.” Progress is also discussed in today’s bulletin.

“Now that Publish 111 is finished, we can focus fully on New Legacy. As we stated when we first announced the project, New Legacy is the team’s largest undertaking in over a decade. We’ve recently completed the first run of the gear advancement loop (Katana of Vanquishing anyone?) and are now moving on to the next major gameplay loop: crafting and resource acquisition. We understand that you have a lot of questions, and that your interest in New Legacy has only grown over the past year. Keep a watch on UO.com for a link to the live broadcast for our upcoming UO: NL Dev Hangout in November!”

Ultima Online, I’d like to wish you a happy birthday.
