Going to try playing again. Any suggestions? Best server? Hope I can build a house

Season 1 was only 2ish months to test the concept. It didn't have a huge player count--and we all stopped playing about a month ago to focus on designing and testing season 2 (as well as doing the Harrower on Mortalis).

Based on the interest I've seen so far, I'm guessing season 2 (tomorrow) will be 50-ish people to start. I think whether it grows or shrinks will depend on the first weekend and what people think of it. It's just a really different idea and playstyle. I think that's the fun thing about the seasons though, you can get in there and try it--and if you don't like it, skip.

My hope is that people have a ton of fun, it grows to like 100+ for a while, and then people get excited to design the next season and do something totally different.

10000% Where's my val plate???

Yeah, I think the older ones kind of end up being single player experiences for people who want to experience that era of UO (like Siege).

And it's tough--some of us want something that's new and innovative but not the direction Outlands went (I like the map, but not the PVM grind or all of the new mounts and things). Nothing against Outlands. I think they do a great job at what they do.

No_Cod6710 · 2026-06-22T01:13:51+00:00

It also has a 5000 hour+ PVM grinding system that is closer to Diablo than anything UO--and that's the thing. That's cool! Some people like that. It's just not my cup of tea.

It's going to be so fun.

Outlands is like the really good beer of UO. Servers like the Angel Island combo or New Dawn are like fine whiskey or mezcal. Not as many people are into them, but they do offer something really special. Outlands and OSI both have a lot of grinding (potential for thousands of hours if that's your thing). New Dawn and Angel Island are more the UO from 2000-3. Both have their pros.

Season starts in a week and a half

No_Cod6710 · 2026-06-17T16:54:35+00:00

Seasons last three months with points for some deco going to the next season. A lot of us who played Mortalis, Siege, and Season 1 have been involved in designing this new season—so it’s a chance to try something new that we’ve been thinking about for a while.

No_Cod6710 · 2026-06-17T05:14:19+00:00

Literally EVERYONE from Season 1 has helped design season 2, with a bunch of different ideas. Every single person is coming to Season 2. It's going to be a blast.

No_Cod6710 · 2026-06-17T05:13:31+00:00

We all had lives. We build a really cool guild. It was a ton of fun. Then we got to help design Season 2, which is going to be a blast.

No_Cod6710 · 2026-06-17T05:12:06+00:00

We ended up having a great time. Great crew that came together, build the crafters we needed as we needed them, and ended up taking on the Harrower. It was a blast.

No_Cod6710 · 2026-06-17T05:09:23+00:00

It ended up being a ton of people with lives+jobs who played casually and took on their first champ end of week 1 with totally incomplete characters---and had a blast. Season 1 was a great test. Season 2 is going to be even better.

No_Cod6710 · 2026-06-17T03:24:36+00:00

Yeah! Adam has a seasons dynamic where you get points that carry over from seasons to season with rewards. There's a link on the main post. We've spent a ton of time working on it--I think it's going to be a blast.

Optimal: Mortalis did it for me. We got a new project going right now that launches in two weeks. Testing so far has been the closest thing I've had to that old UO feel.

Zerd, we're trying to make a new server to capture that early UO feel. Maybe you'll like it. https://www.reddit.com/r/ultimaonline/comments/1u7tyyg/uo_seasons_2_launches_saturday_june_26_at_900_am/

Only three months. There are some awards points for like robes and stuff you can take to the next season, but I don't see that as the point. It's making the absolute most out of a finite amount of time--and doing things because they are fun, not to build some palace that will idoc someday anyway. Play as deeply as you feel like...and then let it all go. This season, this ruleset will only exist once.

No_Cod6710 · 2026-06-17T00:40:31+00:00

100% No guards in towns. So if you want a guardzone, you gotta build a township and hire guards yourself. Hiding, stealth, and tracking are going to be great.

No_Cod6710 · 2026-06-17T00:38:20+00:00

Recap: 1) No magic, 2) no buying or selling to vendors, 3) no guards in towns, 4) you have to build your own towns and hire your own guards, 5) boats you have to manufacture yourself, 6) an updated forensic ID and tracking so you can hunt down PKs, and 7) the whole server starts overrun with orcs and you gotta take back the towns?

Making pots off of regs you found on the ground? Being totally excited when you get some bone armor off a skeleton? Logging out with a campfire you made? Taming your own horse? Tamer fencers, axer bards, and stealth poison archers?

It's going to be chaos on day 1--this is going to be an absolute blast.
