Getting back into UO

Elviorion · 9th December 2005, 12:53 PM

Howdy, it's been YEARS since I played UO and am wondering how I should go about restarting. Should I buy the 8th age disc set, or is there a newer one that includes the full client?

I've lost my origional UO discs, so I will need to get new ones. Just unsure of what ones to get. Thanks in advance for the help!

I think your best bet is to buy the UO client via the uogamecodes website, you can then download the actuall game right away (if you have broadband heh)

I believe you can still get the boxed copy elsewhere, maybe at places like amazon etc.

"You must be an active Ultima Online player before purchasing UO Code Store products. We will ask you to log in with your active UO account name and password before confirming a purchase. To find out more about Ultima Online, go to www.uo.com"

Checked that site earlier and found that warning. While I have set up an account with EA.com I'm not sure if that qualifies me to purchase from uogamecodes?

Hmm that's odd

Another alternative is to download a free trial copy of "Ultima Gold Edition"

You get a free trial key with it

I'm not sure why you'd need to be a current subscriber to download/buy ML, heh

Ah ok, found it

You need to buy a "new account code" ($29.99), which then lets you open a new account and buy it online

You can also find an option to buy the CD for $4.99 and also download the Mondain's legacy client, here

Hope that helps ya

So with the free trial copy, I can play for the 15 days then chose to upgrade via the internet? I know you're not really the person who should be answering these questions, but I've a feeling I wouldn't get timely replies from anywhere else. Thanks for the info so far!

With the ML client I get the full client, or just an upgrade to ML? Thats what confuses me. Like, if I went to the store and bought ML would I have all the previous expansions, + the initial game, or just access to an expansion pack and I would have to get the origional game elsewhere?

Personally, i'd play with the 15 day free trial copy of UO Gold, to see if you like the changes that have taken place with UO, then if you like it, buy the upgrade code to get full Mondain's legacy access.

Or you can simply splash out $29.99 by buying Mondain's legacy and hope for the best

Bear in mind, the gold edition won't have all the recent parts, I think it was upto samurai empire edition, so one lower than the current expansion.

Nah the ML client and ML game in the shops, are the full thing
The expansion part confuses people because normally you have to own the original, which you don't with this game anymore.

All you need is the ML new player code ($29.99) and the ML client download.
