The Jade Rooster.

For the 9th time the three eyed general called out for our help.

We still looking for the monkey that stole all the statues but we must be getting closer to him.

When we find anything out about him we should notify the general as soon as possible.

We had no time to loose and left Britain for Skara Brae mainland.

Shortly after we reached the mainland we noticed some strange looking harpies.

Then all hell broke loose…. Did you expect anything else??

The defenders of the jade rooster kept coming at us from all directions.

It is good we are very experienced in these kinda battles, Maybe thats why the general is happy with our support.

At the end we had to fight and defeat the jade rooster.

We where ones again victorious to retrieve one of the stolen statues.

We are getting close now to get all the statues back, we have to await for the generals call again to find the next.

Sweet Sixteen!

It is hard to believe but Ultima Online is celebrating its 16th Anniversary!

It all started on 24 September 1997.

The Stratics team , With Tia taking the lead, and the UO Team worked together to give the players a well deserved party for this occasion.

It all started with a speech from Bonnie “Mesanna” Armstrong , Saying how great it is to work on Ultima Online and although offers for other jobs, she is glad she is here with us.

But the most important part of her speech she said at the end…

“This is got to be The Best Game on the Market”

And you know… she is right!

Ultima Online is far from perfect… But it is Freedom it many ways!

She also thanked her wonderful Team , Kyronix, Bleak, Misk and Several EM’s that came to help us with the party.

Then it was time for the first event: The Scavenger Hunt.

After taking a Purple bag and Robe they had to click on the Clue Master to get the book with the clues to find the items.

After going trough the gate the ended up in the hedge maze.

It took a while for the first players find all of the 11 items that where hidden in the maze.

The Result:

Scavenger Hunt

1st Place – Kings Collection – Solus of Atlantic
2nd Place – Raised Garden Beds (3) – Bon Ivor of Atlantic
3rd Place – Undertakers Staff – Sam Vam of Drachenfels

The crowd had grown to join the party.

It was time for the Fool Hardy event at the east stage.

I must say, players can be very creative!

After all the contestants did their act the jury had a difficult task to do.

But here are the results:

Fool Hardy

1st Place – Unique Dye – Blackrock Hue – Tokuno Style – Holly Bloodhand, Ash the Necromanceer and Dead Shipmate
2nd Place – Forged Metal Tool – DescWing of Drachenfels

Then we moved to the west stage for the Trivia Event.

Two players went in, A question was asked and the first who answered the question fastes and right went on to the next round.

After several rounds that one player was clearly the one with the most knowledge.

He won a fantastic price!

Trivia Contest

Holly Bloodhand

Then we got a magic show from Heckles the Magnificant!

Mesanna had a look at the stars and saw Death was coming to all!

But it seemed some where lucky not to get killed!

When all events where done it was time to Party!

The rumor say that the party went on for hours!

Thanks too all who made this wonderful party happen.

And i hope we can celebrate the 17th next year again with ALL of you!
