Is this from a freeshard?

**Adam** · 12-03-2008, 08:50 AM

Heh, I noticed this sometime ago on the UOGold Download page at Fileplanet

It's the one EA links or LINKED to (Not sure if it still is) on their UO.com page
FilePlanet: Ultima Online Gold 15-day Trial

Couple of things to note

Obviously the colour of the dragon and clothing, is ...interesting, to say the least
But also the horse she/he is riding, it looks like a silver steed of some kind (Due to the whiteish haze/colour)
Notice the persons clothing to, the collar has funny flaps on it? I've not seen that in game before.
And I've never seen that building or surrounding before either.

good question! still horrible bleedthrough though...you can see the dragon's foot through the horsey

Wasn't there a "thiing" a while back where an image came from a dev test shard? perhaps marketing used an image form something like that?
Just a thought.

have seen some really odd colors on test shards before..but never anything quite like that

LMAO that dragon looks awesome

I was first thinking, crappy video card, but the rest of the coloring looks A-OK. Pretty funny if it's a screenshot from a free shard!! Nice catch!

I'm not sure... but I believe the image is from an EM event on Baja.

Looks wicked! Like the "frooitz of the deveel" -Mike Myers

Hey StoneCypher,

Do you remember the name of our first EM there on Baja? He had a custom dragon made for one of the ongoing events, the dragon even had an exclusive name and look.

I think this is the one. Ring any bells?

Flamazin? Gah no not that one

He's on a roof somewhere as I recall and he's and ancient wyrm.
