As an extremely valuable member of The RunUO Network and as someone who is (or was) interested in Ultima Online I would love to offer you a chance to experience that wonderful feeling of Ultima Online again. The RunUO Team in conjunction with WTFMAN.com a very popular Ultima Online fan site are pleased to announce that we will be launching a shard (UOGamers: Divinity) for everyone’s enjoyment on 12/26/2007. While you may have heard of this shard in the past please rest assured that this is not the same shard. With the combined efforts of WTFMAN.com and The RunUO Team as well as hundreds of players of Divinity we have worked over the past six months to completely re-code a “PRE-UOR” server that should make any veteran of Ultima Online excited.
We will be giving away two APPLE IPOD TOUCH devices to lucky participants of the launch week. So all you need to do is play the game as much as possible for the first 7 days of launch and two lucky winners will be selected at random!
UO Gamers: Divinity 2.0 is not a small shard and not treated as such. It’s run on enterprise level hardware (8 cpus – 16 gigs of RAM – RAID – Multi-Gigabit, Multi-homed network) with a professional staff team running it. Divinity 2.0 will bring you a plethora of features you as a veteran will love. These include but are not limited to no mounts, insta-hit pvp, old style housing, massive order/chaos battles and much more. Top this all of with easy skill gain for combat related skills and you’ve created an explosive environment that will allow you to train up quickly and get right into the action.
This however does not diminish the importance of being a crafter or “mule” on Divinity 2.0. The crafting skills will be difficult to gain and take serious effort to get to the top. We are aware that those of you who decide to go this route want your professions to mean something therefore we’ve ensured that it will take time, effort and patience to be that dependable Grandmaster Blacksmith or any other profession.
Divinity 2.0 is completely free to play and we assure you that if you just take a moment to give it a chance it will be one of your favorite Christmas Presents you’ll ever get from us here at The RunUO Team.
Joining this launch could not be any easier. All you need to do is take a moment to download Ultima Online from one of these locations:
Index of /pub/ea-games/uo
UOG Addict :: It's like Stratics for Hybrid! :: UO Client Download
Ultima Online: Mondain’s Legacy Game Client
Install UO from one of those links (again for free) and patch your client by running uopatch.exe in the Ultima Online directory. Once you’ve done that go ahead and close the client.
At this point all you need to do is install Razor (The RunUO Team’s version of UO Assist) from this location
Razor
after which you simply select UO Gamers: Divinity in the drop down and you’re off to the races.
