<div>[[File:Easter basket.jpg|frame|2010 Easter Basket]]<br />
'''Easter Baskets''' were available over the week following Easter 2010. Each shard's EMs set up a different quest chain by which players found the Easter Bunny's basket and were able to double-click it to get one of their own. The location and colour of the Easter Bunny's basket differed from shard to shard.<br />
<br />
Using the same graphic as the [[Basket of Herbs]] from the [[Spring Décor Collection]], the Easter basket places an Easter-themed item in the holder's backpack. Each basket has 10 charges, which do not respawn.<br />
<br />
Rewards include: golden chocolate rabbit, green chocolate rabbit, Easter grass, robin's egg.<br />

<center>'''In a world where you can be anyone... Who will you be?'''</center><br />
<br />
'''Ultima Online: Age of Shadows''', also known as '''AoS''', is [[Ultima Online]]'s fifth [[expansion]]. It changed many game mechanics, including such basic things as combat, spell casting times, and how armor and damage worked. It also introduced [[house customization]]. It can generally be said that, after this expansion, UO became a more item-based game. <br />
<br />
==Additions and changes==<br />
Specifically, the expansion included:<br />
<br />
*The [[Chivalry|Paladin]] profession: The Paladin is a holy warrior who uses magic to aid fellow adventurers and fight against evil. This magic can heal wounds, cure disease, reverse poisonous affects, lift curses, and increase fighting prowess. Paladins can invoke powers in the heat of battle, even while carrying sword and shield. Paladins also have: <br />
**The [[Chivalry|chivalry]] skill<br />
**Tithing points <br />
**The [[Book of Chivalry]] that contains 10 Paladin abilities <br />
<br />
*The [[Necromancy|Necromancer]] profession: The Necromancer is an evil magician who gains control over the dead. He can summon pain, pestilence, cold, and vile curses to kill hapless foes-only to animate their lifeless corpses into horrifying undead that attack any creature, dead or alive. The Necromancer does not stop with raising the dead, for he can transform himself into some of these forms, gaining both their powers and weaknesses. Necromancer attributes include:<br />
**16 evil spells <br />
**4 creature forms to assume<br />
**Summon 5 different familiars<br />
*Enhanced new player [[quests]] for the Necromancer and Paladin.<br />
*Customized '''House Design Tool''' with which to place custom floors, walls, windows, stairs and other features. Originally, there were over 1000 house design tiles from which to choose.<br />
*Magic item system wherein new magic properties can be arranged in different combinations and intensities on items to produce a near infinite variety of new magic items. <br />
*13 new [[Special Moves|combat attack moves]]<br />
*New 3D avatar and wearable art<br />
*Interface enhancements<br />
*Floating damage numbers<br />
*Enhanced [[tooltip]]s<br />
*3D graphic enhancements: <br />
**weapon trails<br />
**environments effect<br />
**advanced visual queues<br />
*New landmass – [[Malas]], which is the largest land expansion in UO history. It contained space for an additional 40,000 houses across all shards.<br />
*Over 40 points of interest<br />
*New dungeon – [[Doom]], (the biggest dungeon in UO until [[Stygian Abyss Dungeon]] is introduced).<br />
*New rare items spawning system<br />
*20 new monsters for both 2D and 3D Clients (More Info)<br />
*3 new boss-type monsters<br />
*Battle [[Focus]] skill adjustment that allowed the regeneration of [[stamina]] and [[mana]] more quickly<br />
*10 new weapons<br />

'''Ultima Online: Third Dawn''', also known as '''UO3D''', is [[Ultima Online]]'s third [[expansion]]. Electronic Arts sponsored a launch party for the expansion on April 6, 2001. In addition to the introduction of a 3D client, enhancements included the following: a new land mass; several new dungeons; numerous new creatures; several new armors e.g., samurai, ninja; as well as four new weapons.<br />
<br />
==Changes==<br />
Initially, the new land mass, [[Ilshenar]], was accessible only via the new 3D client. The new land mass was intended as an adventure-only area, housing cannot be placed there. The Ilshenar addition was 10% larger than the previous play-area increase, namely, the [[Lost Lands]], which were introduced by [[Ultima Online: The Second Age]]. At first, the spells [[Recall]], [[Mark]], and [[Gate Travel]] were disabled, which forced players to enter and exit Ilshenar by one of eight [[moongates]]. While the ability to Recall out of Ilshenar currently functions in most areas, there are several areas where the prohibition remains.<br />
<br />
Among the additions were: the [[Races]], [[Juka]] and [[Meer]]. Dunegons: [[Blood Dungeon|Blood]]; [[Rat Cave|Ratman Mines]]; [[Ancient Citadel]]; etc. [[Peerless]], [[Paragon]], and [[Artifacts (Paragon)|facet-specific artifacts]].<br />
<br />
==3D client==<br />
The Third Dawn 3D client rendered all monsters, characters, and terrain (with the exception of buildings) in 3D. It still, however, maintained the use of 2D artwork for objects. While it had an option to zoom in, it did not allow for any rotation due to the 2D artwork that remained incorporated. The view within the Third Dawn 3D client was isometric with movement limited to the eight directions. The client interface was redone, with the centerpiece being a 3D paper doll that mimics in-game actions and can be viewed from any direction. The new animation system permitted the addition of specific animations and particle-based effects to each spell cast. <br />
<br />
Some 3D client features: <br />
*The mouse wheel allowed a player to zoom in and zoom out<br />
*The game window size could be resized. However, even at the most increased setting, zoomed out all the way, no additional view of the land is provided so as to prevent anyone having an advantage.<br />
<br />
The Third Dawn 3D Client was replaced by the [[Kingdom Reborn]] client, which was released on June 27, 2007.<br />
<br />
==Beta testing==<br />
Third Dawn reportedly entered beta testing in December 2000. Beta testing was closed on March 19, 2001.<br />
<br />
==History and discovery of Third Dawn name==<br />

<br />
Get used to that. Based on about a dozen domain names purchased by Origin last week, along with numerous hints and announcements by OSI employees, it's safe to say that we now know at least the name of the next phase of UO. Here's a copy of the conclusions posted by [http://web.archive.org/web/20010302010506/http://uo.goa.com/ Mind (Internet Archive)] to the "Ultima" mailing list.<br />
<br />
I along with everyone else have heard rumblings of the new client for months; as we get closer to the World's Faire demo we can hopefully expect more concrete information.<br />
<br />
Everybody is talking about Ultima-Nexus on the UWOoOOoo mailing list but strangely nobody is talking about Ultima Online: Third Dawn.<br />
<br />
So I'll do it. :)<br />
<br />
On October 4th, Origin Systems Inc. registered the following domain names:<br />
<br />
* UO3D.COM<br />
* UO3D.NET<br />
* UO3D.ORG<br />
* UO-3D.NET<br />
* UO-3D.ORG<br />
* UOTD.ORG<br />
* UO-TD.COM<br />
* UOTHIRDDAWN.COM<br />
* UOTHIRDDAWN.NET<br />
* UOTHIRDDAWN.ORG<br />
* THIRDDAWN.NET<br />
* THIRDDAWN.ORG<br />
* THIRD-DAWN.COM<br />
* THIRD-DAWN.NET<br />
* THIRD-DAWN.ORG<br />
<br />
On March 30th, Jack Heistand, Senior Vice President/General Manager of<br />
Origin, declared in an e-mail sent to his employees and published by Lum: "Rick Hall will become the producer of an exciting new sku, which will be the most powerful new UO release to date."<br />
<br />
On May 18th, Kirk "RuneSabre" Black, just after he left the UO Live team, declared: "My future is firmly with UO. Of course I can't give you details of what the future of UO I will help bring about are, but, I can assure you its going to be very cool!".<br />
<br />
On May 30th, Gordon "Tyrant" Walton, Vice President of Online Services and Operations of Origin, declared in an interview given to Jinx: "More people are working on it now than there were at the peak of UO:Renaissance."<br />
<br />
On October 11th, Paul "Sage" Sage declared: "I honestly believe that the next few months will be the most exciting months ever in UO history".<br />
<br />
A lot of rumors were floating around the fan sites since April. It looks like we will soon know the truth.<br />
I can be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that:<br />
<br />
* A new extension to UO will be announced soon (before November 11th).<br />
* It will be named Ultima Online: Third Dawn<br />
* It will included a 3D client (hence the acronym UO:3D)<br />
* A demo of this 3D client will be shown at the UO World Faire<br />
* RuneSabre leads the project (if not as the producer as the lead programmer)<br />
* It will be out before April 2001<br />
<br />
The only real news here is the name of the extension. But by putting together all the informations released or leaked I think we get a better idea of what's going on.<br />
<br />
The future of UO is slowly taking shape... :)</pre><br />

<center>'''''Your Portal To The Most Popular Internet Virtual World'''''</center><br />
<br />
'''Ultima Online: Renaissance''', also known as '''UO:R''', is [[Ultima Online]]'s second [[expansion]]. Released on May 4, 2000, it had an estimated retail price of $19.95 US. However, current subscribers were not required to purchase a CD as the updated features were automatically downloaded to existing accounts.<br />
<br />
==Changes==<br />
*'''Rule-Set Change/Landmass Mirror''' -- The most evident change was the splitting of the gamespace area in two. One area allowed non-consensual [[Player vs. Player]] ([[PvP]]) combat, while the other area did not. A mirror image of each other, the PvP facet was named [[Felucca]] and the other, [[Trammel]]. The change effectively doubled the gamespace, which allowed for additional player [[housing]], player-run [[Cities & Towns]], and easier access to [[crafting]] resources.<br />
*'''Skills Design Feature''' -- Perhaps the most popular introduction was the new [[Skills|skill]] management system, which allowed for more control over a character’s development. Prior to UO:R, not only could you not lock a skill, your skills could be altered simply by standing too close to another character who happened to be training. You could learn by watching, literally! UO:R introduced the [[Skill]] lock and the [[Stat]] lock.<br />
*'''Young Player Assistance''' -- Upon logging-in to the world, new players were given the opportunity to go through the new in-game tutorial. They were immediately taken to the safe town of [[Haven]] where they could both practice in a live game environment and benefit from one-on-one training, which was supplied by more than 2000 [[companion]] [[volunteers]]. <br />
*'''Party Up, Got To Party Up''' -- A new [[party]] system made it easier to adventure with a group of friends by facilitating group communication, combat, and profit and reward sharing.<br />
*'''[[Special Moves]]''' -- Special moves introduced. Every [[Two-Handed Weapon]] of the three fighting skills was given a special ability that had a 20% chance of executing on each blow. These special moves only worked in [[Player vs. Player]] combat. <br />
**[[Mace Fighting|Macing]] delivered a [[Crushing Blow]]. <br />
**[[Fencing]] weapons delivered a [[Paralyzing Blow]]. <br />
**[[Swordsmanship]] delivered a [[Concussion Blow]].<br />
<br />
==Later additions==<br />
Scheduled to be included with UO:R, [[factions]] did not make the release, but was added a couple months later.<br />
<br />
==Facet lore explanation==<br />
The rule set change and facet mirroring had an official fictional narrative. <br />
The "new" world was named [[Trammel]] and the "old" world that remained was now called [[Felucca]]. Confusingly, Trammel and Felucca are also the names of [[Sosaria]]'s twin moons.<br />
<br />
Politically, Trammel is under the jurisdiction of [[Lord British]] and the [[Ruling Council]]. Felucca is the subject of a never-ending civil war (factions) that was introduced a few months after UO:R's release. <br />
<br />
According to statements made by UO [[Game Developers|Development]] members, most players never venture into Felucca. In other words, Feluccans constitute a very small percentage of the total player base.<br />
<br />

'''Ultima Online: The Second Age''', also known as '''T2A''', is [[Ultima Online]]'s first [[expansion]]. On Friday, October 23, 1998, the following message was posted on the official Update Center:<br />
<br />
<blockquote><p>''Today marks the end of The Second Age public beta and we have a special event planned for the closing day.

<br />
<p>''We will be shipping The Second Age upgrade today. For those people who purchased The Second Age upgrade and selected Next Day as their shipping option (at a slightly higher cost), their copies should begin arriving on Monday. *Next Day shipping means the next business day, therefor copies sent on Friday will arrive on Monday. From today till Monday the 26th, the EA Store will be unable to answer phone calls regarding previously placed orders, as they are moving to a new location. However, the order line will remain open, and anyone interested in purchasing the upgrade during these dates will still be able to place those orders.''</p><br />
<br />
<p>''The Second Age lands will be live on the normal shards on the morning of Saturday, the 24th. This opening of the new lands should not affect any normal playtime, or players. We certainly hope you enjoy the new features and the new lands and we look forward to hearing your comments. Thank you for helping make The Second Age a success.''</p></blockquote><br />

<br />
==Lore==<br />
<i> The Elves have been a part of [[Sosaria]] since the beginning of time, tied indivisibly to the health of the world itself. The ancient bards' tales tell of Elven beauty, valor unsurpassed, and dazzling artistry. But the Elves have been absent for so long, and human memory is fragile. Did they ever exist? Are Elves but a treasured fantasy an old man tells his grandchildren by the wavering light of the fire?<br />
<br />
There are skeptics. There always are those who do not believe or cannot afford to acknowledge the greatest mysteries.<br />
<br />
But the stories are true. The Elves do exist. They serve as caretakers to Sosaria, linked directly to the world itself, their health tied directly to that of the land. Perhaps not quite as beautiful, valorous, and brilliant as legend tells us. Real, but isolated and alone, they live out their lives in The Heartwood amidst the mighty branches of the world tree. Their knowledge has been passed from Lorekeeper to Lorekeeper, although their language is unsuited to writing and their traditions are complex and subtle. The Elves form a community in the truest sense, sharing equally and caring for one another with no concept of family or wealth.<br />
<br />
They once walked Sosaria side by side with humans. Before the gem was shattered, the Elves were immortal. They ventured forth from their home to explore and enjoy the wonders of the world in their care. They befriended humans and exchanged gifts. And then, in an instant of unmitigated anguish, they were cut off from Sosaria. Immortal Elven lives by the hundreds were extinguished in the blink of an eye. For the Elves, the loss of their immortality and the grief of their lost kinsmen were only the beginning. As caretakers who could not heal, the Elves were isolated and helpless, yet still tied irrevocably to the health of the world.<br />
<br />
Upon Sosaria, less than a dozen Elves survived, unable to reach their home and unaware of the full ramifications of the shattering of the Gem of Immortality. In time, they took a human mate and adapted to life as a mortal, their Elven blood mixing with the human bloodlines. For all intents and purposes, the Elves ceased to exist in the world, save for the songs and the tales.<br />
Until now...</i><br />

<center>'''Enter a world of Samurai and Ninja'''</center><br />
:''Discover an empire in the newest expansion pack to the worldwide phenomenon Ultima Online&trade;. Journey to a land of exotic monsters, dramatic landscapes, and fierce but noble warriors. Become a Samurai and learn new skills like Honorable Execution and Lightning Strike, or join the ranks of the Ninja elite and master the deadly arts of Mirror Image and Smoke Bomb. If you choose, you can set down roots in this new land and build a home with new Japanese-themed building options. Expand your legacy in a game world like no other, Ultima Online.''<br />
<br />
'''Ultima Online: Samurai Empire''', also known as '''UO:SE''', is [[Ultima Online]]'s sixth [[expansion]].<br />
<br />
The expansion introduced several Asian themed elements into UO. Mostly, but not exclusively, these were drawn from Japanese mythology and folklore, and seem to reflect no small amount of research on part of the [[Developer|UO team]].<br />
<br />
Two new [[skill]]s were introduced: [[Bushido]], the skill of the Samurai profession, and [[Ninjitsu]], the skill of the Ninja profession. A new map, known as the [[Tokuno Islands]] was introduced. Official fiction held that the Tokuno Islands was the same map that was known in the old single-player Ultima games as the "Land of the Feudal Lords."<br />
<br />
What follows in this article is mostly drawn from the official promotion materials on UO.com.<br />
<br />
==Features==<br />
*Become a Samurai Master – Dedicate yourself to the art of [[Bushido]], with powerful new skills and deadly new weapons. <br />
<br />
*Join an Elite Ninja Clan – Submit to the discipline of [[Ninjitsu]], mastering [[stealth]], deception, and the art of assassination. <br />
<br />
*Adventure on a New Continent, [[Tokuno|The Tokuno Islands]] – Explore a new Japanese-themed land filled with scenic housing areas, mythical creatures, monsters, dungeons, and more. <br />
<br />
*Lay Claim to Exotic New Treasures – New weapons, armor, clothing, house tiles, magic, and more will reward the adventurous. <br />
<br />
*Powerful New [[Guild]] Systems – Create a [[guild]], set up ranks, declare wars on other guilds, and set win conditions. Recruiting guildmates and increasing your power have never been easier.<br />
<br />
==Promotions==<br />
Players who pre-ordered Ultima Online: Samurai Empire received an in-game [[Soulstone]].<br />

<center>'''In a world where you can be anyone... Who will you be?'''</center><br />
<br />
'''Ultima Online: Age of Shadows''', also known as '''AoS''', is [[Ultima Online]]'s fifth [[expansion]]. It changed many game mechanics, including such basic things as combat, spell casting times, and how armor and damage worked. It also introduced [[house customization]]. It can generally be said that, after this expansion, UO became a more item-based game. <br />
<br />
==Additions and changes==<br />
Specifically, the expansion included:<br />
<br />
*The [[Chivalry|Paladin]] profession: The Paladin is a holy warrior who uses magic to aid fellow adventurers and fight against evil. This magic can heal wounds, cure disease, reverse poisonous affects, lift curses, and increase fighting prowess. Paladins can invoke powers in the heat of battle, even while carrying sword and shield. Paladins also have: <br />
**The [[Chivalry|chivalry]] skill<br />
**Tithing points <br />
**The [[Book of Chivalry]] that contains 10 Paladin abilities <br />
<br />
*The [[Necromancy|Necromancer]] profession: The Necromancer is an evil magician who gains control over the dead. He can summon pain, pestilence, cold, and vile curses to kill hapless foes-only to animate their lifeless corpses into horrifying undead that attack any creature, dead or alive. The Necromancer does not stop with raising the dead, for he can transform himself into some of these forms, gaining both their powers and weaknesses. Necromancer attributes include:<br />
**16 evil spells <br />
**4 creature forms to assume<br />
**Summon 5 different familiars<br />
*Enhanced new player [[quests]] for the Necromancer and Paladin.<br />
*Customized '''House Design Tool''' with which to place custom floors, walls, windows, stairs and other features. Originally, there were over 1000 house design tiles from which to choose.<br />
*Magic item system wherein new magic properties can be arranged in different combinations and intensities on items to produce a near infinite variety of new magic items. <br />
*13 new [[Special Moves|combat attack moves]]<br />
*New 3D avatar and wearable art<br />
*Interface enhancements<br />
*Floating damage numbers<br />
*Enhanced [[tooltip]]s<br />
*3D graphic enhancements: <br />
**weapon trails<br />
**environments effect<br />
**advanced visual queues<br />
*New landmass – [[Malas]], which is the largest land expansion in UO history. It contained space for an additional 40,000 houses across all shards.<br />
*Over 40 points of interest<br />
*New dungeon – [[Doom]], (the biggest dungeon in UO until [[Stygian Abyss Dungeon]] is introduced).<br />
*New rare items spawning system<br />
*20 new monsters for both 2D and 3D Clients (More Info)<br />
*3 new boss-type monsters<br />
*Battle [[Focus]] skill adjustment that allowed the regeneration of [[stamina]] and [[mana]] more quickly<br />
*10 new weapons<br />
<br />

<hr />
<div>Homes can be secured for entrance and contained items independently.<br />
<br />
==General==<br />
In the security menu of the house sign, you can give other players certain privileges in your [[house]]. There's three levels of security:<br />
<br />
* [[Owner]]s (all [[character]]s of your [[account]])<br />
* [[Co-owner]]s<br />
* [[Friend]]s<br />
<br />
'''Friends''' can do the following:<br />
<br />
* [[Ban]] other players, lift a ban<br />
* [[Lock down]] items, and [[release]] items locked down by themselves<br />
* Access [[secure container]]s, [[door]]s and [[teleporter]]s with the access level set to 'friends' or 'anyone'<br />
<br />
'''Co-owners''' can do the following:<br />
<br />
* Ban other players, lift a ban<br />
* Make other players a friend of the house, or remove them from the friends list<br />
* Lock down items, and release items locked down by themselves<br />
* Place secure containers<br />
* Access secure containers, doors and teleporters with the access level set to 'co-owners', 'friends' or 'anyone'<br />
* Place house add-ons<br />
* Rename the house<br />
<br />
'''Owners''' can do the following:<br />
<br />
* Ban other players, lift a ban<br />
* Make other players a friend of the house, or remove them from the friends list<br />
* Make other players a co-owner of the house, or remove them from the co-owners list<br />
* Lock down items, and release items locked down by themselves<br />
* Place secure containers<br />
* Release locked-down items or secure containers, even those placed by other players<br />
* Set the security level on doors and teleporters<br />
* Access secure containers, doors and teleporters with the access level set to 'owner', 'co-owners', 'friends' or 'anyone'<br />
* Place [[house add-ons]]<br />
* Rename the house<br />
* Place [[barkeep]]s and write out [[vendor contract]]s<br />
* [[Trade]] the house to another player<br />
* [[Demolish]] the house<br />
* Change the house [[foundation style]], [[hanger]] and [[sign]]<br />
* [[House customization|Customize]] the house (if the house is of the customizable type)<br />
* Change the house to [[Public]] or [[Private]]<br />
<br />
==Secure containers==<br />
Secure containers differ from those that are locked down in that you can easily remove items from them without having to "release" them first. Secure containers provide secure storage without locking down the objects that stored within them. <br />
<br />
==Locking items down==<br />
Once an item is locked down in your house, it becomes too heavy for anyone to move. Locked down items cannot be moved by anyone and do not decay. This lets you decorate your house with the peace of mind that ruffians or petty chair thieves will not be able to wreck or steal your furniture, and that your decorations won't simply vanish after being left unattended.<br />

<div>{{tocright}}<br />
Since its initial release, along with 3 "Anniversary Collections", UO has known over 7 commercially released expansions with another one planned within the next year.<br />
<br />
==[[Ultima Online: High Seas|High Seas]]==<br />
Released in October 2010, [[Sosaria]] was beset with pirates, cannon, new ships and even a floating village. This was the first "booster", which costs roughly half the price and features new, but less, content than a "full" expansion. Boosters are supposed to be released roughly every 6 months. The [[Fishing]] skill was greatly expanded with new rewards and opportunities.<br />
<br />
==[[Ultima Online: Stygian Abyss|Stygian Abyss]]==<br />
[[Ultima Online: Stygian Abyss]] was released in September 2009 and features a new playable [[Gargoyle Race]] as well as the Stygian Abyss itself, a massive dungeon with several levels. Popular highlights include the [[Imbuing]] crafting skill, the [[Mysticism]] school of magic spells, the new landmass of [[Ter Mur]] and new champion spawns, artifacts, rare stealable and dungeon puzzles.<br />
<br />
==[[Ultima Online: Kingdom Reborn|Kingdom Reborn]]==<br />
Released in 2007, Kingdom Reborn was a graphic and user interface upgrade, an attempt to offer a modern MMORPG client that could also run on lower-end computers. It was released through a free download, though for those who did not want to bother with the download a disk is available for purchase.<br />
<br />
Its level of success and failure are unknown by players, and the wars over its merits or demerits are waged on message boards like Stratics with a fevered intensity.<br />
<br />
KR was eventually replaced by the Enhanced Client that came out with the Stygian Abyss expansion. Most things in KR are now in the "Enhanced Client" or "EC".<br />
<br />
==[[Ultima Online: Mondain's Legacy|Mondain's Legacy]]==<br />
Released on August 30, 2005, [[Ultima Online: Mondain's Legacy|Mondain's Legacy]] was the developers attempted to get back to UO's roots by focusing on current content. [[NPC Quest]]s were added throughout the land. New dungeons were integrated into the landscape and the elf race and their village of [[Heartwood]] appeared. The only new skill was [[Spellweaving]].<br />
<br />
==[[Ultima Online: Samurai Empire|Samurai Empire]]==<br />
Released on November 2, 2004, [[Ultima Online: Samurai Empire|Samurai Empire]] was considered a modest expansion compared with its predecessor. It added the [[Tokuno Islands]] land mass. The skills of [[Bushido]] and [[Ninjitsu]] were added. Another feature of note is the addition of roofs to [[house customization]].<br />
<br />
==[[Ultima Online: Age of Shadows|Age of Shadows]]==<br />
Release on February 11, 2003, [[Ultima Online: Age of Shadows|Age of Shadows]] is considered the most impactful expansion in UO history. It completely rewrote and changed many systems, including the introduction of [[Item Properties]], [[Item Insurance]], [[house customization]], and more. The skills of [[Chivalry]] and [[Necromancy]] were also added. It is also the most criticized expansion due to many of its features. The new land of [[Malas]] was added with this expansion.<br />
<br />
==[[Ultima Online: Lord Blackthorn's Revenge|Lord Blackthorn's Revenge]]==<br />
Released on February 24, 2002, [[Ultima Online: Lord Blackthorn's Revenge|Lord Blackthorn's Revenge]] was the forth expansion and the first to come with no land/dungeon expansion. Many of its creatures were created by [[Todd McFarlane]] and used in [[Scenarios]]. The Ilshenar facet was also opened up to all [[2D Client]] users.<br />
<br />
==[[Ultima Online: Third Dawn|Third Dawn]]==<br />
Released on March 27, 2001, [[Ultima Online: Third Dawn|Third Dawn]] changed the way player saw UO by adding the 3D client. It also introduced a new land mass ([[Ilshenar]]); several new dungeons; numerous new creatures; several new armors (e.g., samurai, ninja); as well as four new weapons.<br />
<br />
==[[Ultima Online: Renaissance|Renaissance]]==<br />
Released on May 4, 2000, [[Ultima Online: Renaissance|Renaissance]] (UOR) was UO's second expansion. It completely changed the way the game functioned with the introduction of [[Trammel]]. Player interaction and dependence were decreased significantly. Other major changes included the introduction of [[Factions]] and [[Combat Moves]].<br />
<br />
==[[Ultima Online: The Second Age|The Second Age]]==<br />
Released on October 24, 1998, [[Ultima Online: The Second Age|The Second Age]] (T2A) was [[Ultima Online|UO]]'s first expansion. It was also the last project led by [[Richard Garriott]], the original creator of [[Ultima Online|UO]] and the Ultima series. T2A mostly added on to the existing game without changing any core systems or concepts. It introduced The [[Lost Lands]] to the world along with many [[Dungeons|dungeons]].<br />

''"Welcome to my castle!"''<br />
<br />
''"But this is only a small tower?"''<br />
<br />
One of the most unique and exciting parts of UO is owning a house. To date, no other MMO has implemented a system quite like it. The ability to place, decorate, and customize your own home is one of the greatest aspects of this game.<br />
<br />
==Acquiring your abode==<br />
There are two methods to get a house: build or buy.<br />
===Building===<br />
To build a home you first need to purchase a [[House Placement Tool]] from an NPC [[Architect]]. They cost under 1,000 gold. Some characters of a persecuted nature advocate always carrying a tool so you can check your bank balance without saying "balance" and getting the public display of your net worth. Once you have your tool, look at the price ranges to see what is in your budget.<br />
<br />
Once you have enough [[gold]] for the house it is time to find the location. Depending on your [[Shard]], the open land available can vary greatly. On a heavily populated shard such as [[Atlantic]], medium size houses are all that can fit. On less populated, 18x18 and other large sizes can be found if looked for hard enough.<br />
<br />
When you are at your spot, select the house size/style and target the ground where the steps would go. Either the house will appear or it will tell you something is blocking. New housing requires no blocking objects under or within 1 tile of the foundation. The house must also be 5 tiles away from any other player house from front and behind. For more specifics on house placing, see [[House Placing]].<br />
<br />
If the house appears, congratulations! If not, keep trying.<br />
<br />
===Buying===<br />
House buyers do so for many reasons. They don't have the time to look for a spot. They can't find one because they want a large. They want a house in a specific location. Etc.<br />
<br />
One of the main advantages to buying a house is it is usually a lot quicker than placing yourself. A big disadvantage is that the price is usually 10x or more then what it would cost to place yourself. For very large homes such as [[Small Stone Keep|Keep]]s and [[Castle]]s, buying is pretty much the only option available to most players.<br />
<br />
Once you settle on buying, there is another decision. Whether to pay with gold or cash. The really pricey homes, such as the ones in [[Luna]], usually only sell for cash. There is no real secure method to handle such a transaction and going about how to pay by cash is not going to be covered here.<br />
<br />
There are several ways to find a house for sale. You can stand at a popular bank, such as [[West Britain Bank]] or Luna. You can go to areas you would like to live in and check house signs for sellers. If you see someone while searching, ask them if they know anyone selling. They might even say decide to if the price you offer is good enough. Shard specific trading sites are a good place to look for listings or post your own buy requests.<br />
<br />
Once you have located a home and decided on a price with the seller, you both meet at the house. The seller opens the house sign and begins the transaction process. A trade window opens and on the seller's side, a glacial colored deed is shown with the house information. You then place the agreed upon gold/items in. Both parties accept. You now own the house!<br />
<br />
==Housing types==<br />
There are two types of housing: pre-built and custom.<br />
<br />
===Pre-Built===<br />
In the beginning, housing only came in premade styles. These houses cost slightly more than their dirt plot counter-parts. Original houses came first, Renaissance houses were adding during the [[Renaissance]] expansion.<br />

===Custom===<br />
Introduced with the [[Age of Shadows]] expansion, custom houses were a ground breaking system redefining what housing was and could be. No longer were players restricted to a dozen or so styles. The new limit is imagination.<br />
<br />
Custom housing is available in a variety of sizes from 7x7 up to 18x18. Once a plot is placed, you can enter customization mode through the house sign and build your dream home. For further details, please see [[house customization]].<br />
==Owning a home==<br />
Once your house is built, what do you do with it? That is up to you. The function of your house can vary greatly from a storage depot to a guild headquarters to a PVP hot spot or just a place you use to unwind after a long day of slaying monsters.<br />

<hr />
<div>==Overview==<br />
'''House Customization''' is one of the most unique and immersive aspects of Ultima Online. It allows any player who owns a home to customize the structural layout and appearance of the home, literally, from the ground up.<br />
<br />
While player housing has been a part of UO from nearly the beginning in 1997, the homes offered came in a variety of preset sizes and themes. While players could decorate the interior with items such as furnishings, paintings and other items, the structural layout of the walls and floors were static and unchangeable.<br />
<br />
==Expansions and Tile Sets==<br />
With the release of [[Ultima Online: Age of Shadows]] in February 2003, players were given the option to simply place a blank house plot on unclaimed land and then begin building their dream home. Dozens of different wall and floor tiles in a variety of types with different thematic elements were available. With a little creativity, almost any sort of environment could be presented or inferred, ranging from a thatched reed hut surrounded by swampy undergrowth to a regal castle complete with moat and gated entrance.<br />
<br />
The option to add a roof became available with [[Ultima Online: Samurai Empire]] in November 2004, along with the addition of several sets of new housing wall and floor tiles inferring an Asian architectural theme to reflect ethos of the expansion.<br />
<br />
Similarly, the launch of [[Ultima Online: Mondain's Legacy]] in August 2005 added several elf-themed tile sets.<br />
<br />
Additional sets of house tiles were later offered as part of promotions such as the [[Crystal House Tile Set]] and the [[Shadow House Tile Set]] which were made available when a player purchase the [[9th Anniversary]] Collection upgrade.<br />
<br />
==Customizing A Home==<br />
Only custom homes may be customized. Some homes which were built with one of the classic, preset designs such as the small tower may convert their homes to customizable plots.<br />
<br />
To enter House Customization mode, the owner of the home must double-click the house sign and then select the Customization button. The character will then be made invisible and placed inside the house plot.<br />

'''Ultima Online: Third Dawn''', also known as '''UO3D''', is [[Ultima Online]]'s third [[expansion]]. Electronic Arts sponsored a launch party for the expansion on April 6, 2001. In addition to the introduction of a 3D client, enhancements included the following: a new land mass; several new dungeons; numerous new creatures; several new armors e.g., samurai, ninja; as well as four new weapons.<br />
<br />
==Changes==<br />
Initially, the new land mass, [[Ilshenar]], was accessible only via the new 3D client. The new land mass was intended as an adventure-only area, housing cannot be placed there. The Ilshenar addition was 10% larger than the previous play-area increase, namely, the [[Lost Lands]], which were introduced by [[Ultima Online: The Second Age]]. At first, the spells [[Recall]], [[Mark]], and [[Gate Travel]] were disabled, which forced players to enter and exit Ilshenar by one of eight [[moongates]]. While the ability to Recall out of Ilshenar currently functions in most areas, there are several areas where the prohibition remains.<br />
<br />
Among the additions were: the [[Races]], [[Juka]] and [[Meer]]. Dunegons: [[Blood Dungeon|Blood]]; [[Rat Cave|Ratman Mines]]; [[Ancient Citadel]]; etc. [[Peerless]], [[Paragon]], and [[Artifacts (Paragon)|facet-specific artifacts]].<br />
<br />
==3D client==<br />
The Third Dawn 3D client rendered all monsters, characters, and terrain (with the exception of buildings) in 3D. It still, however, maintained the use of 2D artwork for objects. While it had an option to zoom in, it did not allow for any rotation due to the 2D artwork that remained incorporated. The view within the Third Dawn 3D client was isometric with movement limited to the eight directions. The client interface was redone, with the centerpiece being a 3D paper doll that mimics in-game actions and can be viewed from any direction. The new animation system permitted the addition of specific animations and particle-based effects to each spell cast. <br />
<br />
Some 3D client features: <br />
*The mouse wheel allowed a player to zoom in and zoom out<br />
*The game window size could be resized. However, even at the most increased setting, zoomed out all the way, no additional view of the land is provided so as to prevent anyone having an advantage.<br />
<br />
The Third Dawn 3D Client was replaced by the [[Kingdom Reborn]] client, which was released on June 27, 2007.<br />
<br />
==Beta testing==<br />
Third Dawn reportedly entered beta testing in December 2000. Beta testing was closed on March 19, 2001.<br />
<br />

Get used to that. Based on about a dozen domain names purchased by Origin last week, along with numerous hints and announcements by OSI employees, it's safe to say that we now know at least the name of the next phase of UO. Here's a copy of the conclusions posted by [http://web.archive.org/web/20010302010506/http://uo.goa.com/ Mind (Internet Archive)] to the "Ultima" mailing list.<br />
<br />
I along with everyone else have heard rumblings of the new client for months; as we get closer to the World's Faire demo we can hopefully expect more concrete information.<br />
<br />
Everybody is talking about Ultima-Nexus on the UWOoOOoo mailing list but strangely nobody is talking about Ultima Online: Third Dawn.<br />
<br />
So I'll do it. :)<br />
<br />
On October 4th, Origin Systems Inc. registered the following domain names:<br />
<br />
* UO3D.COM<br />
* UO3D.NET<br />
* UO3D.ORG<br />
* UO-3D.NET<br />
* UO-3D.ORG<br />
* UOTD.ORG<br />
* UO-TD.COM<br />
* UOTHIRDDAWN.COM<br />
* UOTHIRDDAWN.NET<br />
* UOTHIRDDAWN.ORG<br />
* THIRDDAWN.NET<br />
* THIRDDAWN.ORG<br />
* THIRD-DAWN.COM<br />
* THIRD-DAWN.NET<br />
* THIRD-DAWN.ORG<br />
<br />
On March 30th, Jack Heistand, Senior Vice President/General Manager of<br />
Origin, declared in an e-mail sent to his employees and published by Lum: "Rick Hall will become the producer of an exciting new sku, which will be the most powerful new UO release to date."<br />
<br />
On May 18th, Kirk "RuneSabre" Black, just after he left the UO Live team, declared: "My future is firmly with UO. Of course I can't give you details of what the future of UO I will help bring about are, but, I can assure you its going to be very cool!".<br />
<br />
On May 30th, Gordon "Tyrant" Walton, Vice President of Online Services and Operations of Origin, declared in an interview given to Jinx: "More people are working on it now than there were at the peak of UO:Renaissance."<br />
<br />
On October 11th, Paul "Sage" Sage declared: "I honestly believe that the next few months will be the most exciting months ever in UO history".<br />
<br />
A lot of rumors were floating around the fan sites since April. It looks like we will soon know the truth.<br />
I can be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that:<br />
<br />
* A new extension to UO will be announced soon (before November 11th).<br />
* It will be named Ultima Online: Third Dawn<br />
* It will included a 3D client (hence the acronym UO:3D)<br />
* A demo of this 3D client will be shown at the UO World Faire<br />
* RuneSabre leads the project (if not as the producer as the lead programmer)<br />
* It will be out before April 2001<br />
<br />
The only real news here is the name of the extension. But by putting together all the informations released or leaked I think we get a better idea of what's going on.<br />
<br />
The future of UO is slowly taking shape... :)</pre><br />
