Required Map Patch

Origins provides a wide range of client compatibility from 5.0.8.3 all the way up to the latest patch from EA. Unfortunately there is a cost to that. To ensure fewer issues for players, we are introducing mandatory map patch that must be used if you want to play with 100% compatibility. Without it you will likely get stuck or experience rubber banding in certain areas.

The map we are using is the exact same throughout Pre-T2A, T2A, UO:R, LBR, and AOS. EA modified the map significantly after AOS which effects Pre-T2A gameplay. Modifications such as Magincia, hedge maze, two bridges in lvl3 despise, etc.

If you own any of the expansions up to and including AOS you can simply copy the map0.mul, staidx0.mul, and statics0.mul files from the CD in to your current UO directory.

Otherwise you can use the download provided:

Test Center Launched

Today we are officially launching our Test Center to be used for discovering era inaccuracies, exploits, bugs, and general quality assurance. As such, this server has a high possibility of unexpected restarts, crashes, or world save reverts. The server is currently running on a 7 day old world save. All players will have access to commands to modify their skills and stats as well as have access to a variety of supply stones which provide resources. Newly created players will start with resources in their bank. Staff support on the Test Center will be almost non existent unless there is a test the staff need to carry out. This may even progress to eventually have an Abyss type shard sometime in the future. If you have any questions about the Test Center, feel free to email or PM any staff members.

A Hero's Call!

Hero's of Britannia,

We have received word from the Lord's of Trinsic. A huge Undead Army is 4 days out from invading the city. The Lords request all willing and able heros to help! The undead Army is broken up into three seperate Brigades all in different locations heading toward Trinsic as we speak. They are Lead by the Evil Lich Lord Ferethas. He is foul scum who is worse in death the he ever was in life. Lord Ferethas was once the most powerful mage Sosaria had ever seen, but no matter how powerful he became it was never enough. He was responsible for the deaths of thousands. He was slain in battle by Lord British himself and it appears he has come back for revenge.

The Lord's of Trinsic call to all of you! Your duty will be to do whatever you can to stop this Army from entering the City! Fortification measures are already being taken! Help protect those gates, and if the Army does enter the city a safe zone will be established. Bring your pets, Bring your hired mercenaries, bring your spells and your steel. There will be no time for hesitation! Will you answer the call?

Event: Trinsic Invasion
Location: Trinsic
Time and Date: Friday @ 7:00 P.M. CST
