Dino's Ultima Page Turns 9!

Dino the Dark Dragon posted a short announcement yesterday that today — July 27th — would be “the 9th anniversary of the launch of Dino’s Ultima Page.”

Now, nine is a pretty impressive number, and ten comes after nine…which got Dino thinking:

I was toying with the idea of celebrating this 10th anniversary in some way. Perhaps it would be great to organise a meeting between Dragons at some central location (or separate ones for European, American, Australian, etc Dragons). If anyone is interested in something of the sort, please get in touch. I’ve never met any Dragons in real life myself, and I think it’s a shame because there are a handful who have played an important part in my life.

Frankly, I think it’s a stellar idea, especially if multiple Dragon meetups can be coordinated around the world (or at least in a variety of regions). At the very least, any interested Europe-based Dragons should get in touch with Dino and start planning a meetup for next year.

Anyone from anywhere else: Aiera is also at your disposal, if you’d like to begin coordinating regional meetups closer to where you live.

Most importantly, though: congratulations, Dino, and thanks for your many years of service to the Ultima community!

    Congrats Dino! I’ve used your site as a source of information many times throughout the years.

    I think it could also be interesting to have a Dragonsmeet. I think I’d need to get closer to a date for one to know if I could attend though.

    There would have to be one in Austin, Texas. It would only be fitting.

    Plus there are still some major ex-Ultima/UO developers hanging around here, working on Star Wars: The Old Republic or other titles. Some of them are friendly enough that you might be able to get them to attend.

    Now you just have to convince Richard Garriott to let you use the area he built for his jousting and renaissance faire events.

  3. Congratulations, Dino!

    You have completed 9 years of dedication to the Ultima community.

    Please write Lord British, in care of Origin Systems Inc., telling him of your accomplishment!

    I would drive to a Dragonsmeet, especially if it was at Britannia Manor. I’d be interested in helping coordinate as well.

    Also, thanks to Dino. I too have used your site often to get my Ultima fix.
