To The Citizens of Britannia,
It has been my great pleasure and honor to serve you these past years. Now, with a heavy heart, I must announce that I am moving on to a new adventure, a new challenge that has called me to service.
I have begun work on a currently “unannounced project” with a new EA team and will no longer be the producer of Ultima Online. I’m turning over the reigns of this magnificent game to Chris Rabideau and my friends at EA Mythic. You are in good hands.
And while I’ll be leaving you as a member of development team, I’ll be rejoining you as a player. My house for too long has gone unattended and my red friends outside of Yew gate have for too long gone untested. I will be back among you soon.
I wish you good fortune and prosperity.
See you in Britannia!
Aaron “Darkscribe” Cohen

Ohhh so that's who that is....cool!

Very sad to see Aaron go...but hey, I wonder what shard he plays on??? *winks* would be kinda cool to play with him.

I'm not sure if I'm happy, sad, or just indifferent in regards to this, honestly.

Whoa!! I'll be first to call "The End of UO™"

Lol, I'm just kidding...

please lets not set off all the fireworks at once.

I've got a writeup of this event over at my blog .

It's hard to tell from the wording of Darkscribe's farewell if this Chris person is the new producer, or just some oversight person at EA Mythic. Anyone know yet?

I dont think it bodes well for the lead producer to leave at this time, KR unfinshed by anyones estimate and assumabley they are developing SA and its not finished either.
