Johari 5 Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 Nice to see some faces of days gone by are still involved with PaxLair. I played in what could be considered the golden area of Pax from 98-00. I started playing UO again on a player run shard about a year ago and have been holding some events, etc. I am curious if anyone recalls the All-Britannia Olympics? The All-Britannia Olympics | Ultima Online I am seeking any information about the Olympics such as events, pictures, etc. I recall darts, horseracing, archery, paladin battle, mage battle as some of the events and the unique medals given to the winners. Any info, accounts, and/or pics would be greatly appreciated. My thanks. -Johari Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ashlarrr 106 Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 I'm afraid I wasn't around then and the Governor is on another fishing trip. You could try checking the old archived site (PaxLair - an Ultima Online Player Community) which has lots of old news articles. It may have what you're looking for! I shall let others know about your quest too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Winfield 687 Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 I remember the Olympics. Actually several. Our Paxlair.com site only talks about a 2006 olympics. PaxLair Site 10 - Search Can you give me the dates of the CCoV led olympics? I have old screenshots laying around. Great to see you again Johari!! I hope all has been well!

Johari 5 Posted July 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 According to UO.com: "The Olympics were to be held every six months, and the first Olympic games were held in May 1999 after many months of planning and preparations, and lasted just over a week. The teams competed in various events such as, a mage battle, relay races, a baking contest, and a paladin's battle." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
