Prepare to Board! - High Seas Update All Shards 10/12/10James Nichols11 Oct 2010 23:56:32 ESTGreetings!
On Tuesday, 10/12/10 at 10:00AM EDT all shards will be brought offline to prepare for the release of Ultima Online: High Seas. We anticipate the update should be completed by 2:00PM EDT.
Patch notes will be made available tomorrow during the update, for a list of features and where to buy the High Seas booster pack please click here. Continue reading below for important information about this update.
Things you need to know:
- In preparation for publish 68 we are recommending all players who are pre-positioning around the sea market area remove your boats. Move them or lose them!
- There will be a follow up publish in the near future to add 13th year Anniversary items, additional fixes for the live game as well as a push for the live story arc.
Clients:
- Those who used the High Seas Beta client for Test Center will not be able to use that same client when going live. Please uninstall the beta client. Use your normal enhanced or classic client installers and patch when publish 68 goes live.
- High Seas will work in both legacy and enhanced clients.
Store Expectations:
- High Seas will be available at both UOGamecodes.com and the EA Store. We will provide direct links for both pages, as they become available. The codes will available today October 11th, however will not be redeemable until Pub 68 goes live tomorrow.
- European players may not be able to access the North American EA store, so please purchase from uogamecodes.com instead.
- Also, please note that 90 day and 180 day Gametime codes will also be available for the U.S and Europe on the uogamecodes store. There were a few players who have asked for this option, so those codes should also be available via the store.
- In the past some players experienced problems with purchasing multiple items from the EA store, or the limits on the UOGamecode store.
- The purchasing limit on UOgamecode store has been increased for a short time. If you have problems purchasing multiple times with the EA store please contact EA customer support.
- More information will be provided in the patch notes tomorrow October 12th.
