Ultima Online History ![]() The original description of Ultima Online from the 1996 owo.com: "Ultima Online is a multi-player role-playing game designed for real-time adventuring over the Internet. Eventually, thousands of people will be able to access this fantastic world around the clock and interact simultaneously with each other and the entire world. Set in the Ultima universe, Ultima Online enables players to adventure in a truly ongoing world. A world where battles are fought with might and mind, alliances are formed and shattered, and both enemies and friends are just as interested in wealth and power as you are. Slay a dragon, form a government, join a guild, craft and sell wares, and meet your friends at the tavern, all while playing Ultima Online." -ORIGIN Historical Ultima Online Maps : ![]() ![]() ![]() The second map is from the 1996 owo.com website, the original was cut into 2 jpgs. This was the map OSI provided for the pre-alpha testers. As you can see the pre-alpha was a very small portion of the map used today. The map used today was created from scratch, but this pre-alpha map was used as a guide. This explains the differences and similarities found on this map. The map consisted of the city of Britain, farms, orc camps & crypts. Not listed it also included the tower of the evil npc mage Myndon, and the godlands which were outside of the boundary. I will add a very detailed pre-alpha page with screenshots in the future. The third map is from the 1997 owo.com website, it is the original drawing made of the map that would be turned into the cloth map.
