Ultima Online Heads for 7th Birthday With Anniversary Edition

Posted by simoniker on Monday May 24, 2004 @08:21AM from the seven-year-itch dept.

Thanks to Yahoo for reprinting an EA press release noting a special 7th Anniversary Edition of Ultima Online has been announced, featuring the game plus the "five [previously released] expansion packs... one of seven rare and powerful anniversary [in-game] gifts... and a collector's edition of the Ultima Online Fan Guide", as well as a "full version of the classic Ultima IX: Ascension." The official UO site has a picture of the box, and over at UO Stratics, they have clarification from UO's lead programmer, part of the California-transplanted Ultima Online team, that "the primary motivation to release the Anniversary Edition is to get UO back on store shelves until the [late 2004-due] expansion is complete. At the same time we were looking for ways to give players some value [also including 'an extra character slot'] that would complement the package."

I have some nice screenshots from the next Ultima hosted on my clan's website Here Just click the number on the form when you get in. It prevents other websites from linking to us directly and stealing our bandwidth.

The new screenshots we have are AWESOME. Even if you aren't an Ultima fan you should check it out!
