 '''What will happen to approved third-party programs, such as UOAssist and UO Automap?'''
-* Because Kingdom Reborn is a completely new client, any third-party programs will have to be reengineered to work with it.However, Kingdom Reborn is intended to be a client with a full-featured, intuitive user interface, and as such will greatly reduce the need for third-party programs.

 '''Will Kingdom Reborn affect gameplay balance/crafting/PvP/etc?'''
 * Kingdom Reborn is a client upgrade, not a content upgrade. With one exception (see below) Kingdom Reborn is not intended to affect the balance or function of any feature, except in that the user interface will change - and, of course, that means it will have a profound (and positive) effect on the ease of use of many systems.

-An early announcement on the Japanese UO website confused players into thinking the next race and other details were released prematurely.

Kingdom Reborn is mostly a brand new client with almost no server side content additions, except for those implemented into the client.

-There have been many points of criticism of the new client. For one, the new graphics have been met with a mixed reaction by players. The client launched with things not implemented, many bugs and performance issues. In addition, the 2D client has undergone some undesirable art changes, mostly in respect to landscapes. The developers are trying to address all these issues.
