Ultima Online: Publish 89.1 Available; Mandatory New Client

From the Europa Shard's recent "Call To Arms" event.

Broadsword Online Games have released Publish 89.1 for Ultima Online just in time for Easter:

Today everyone will receive a new client that is mandatory.  You will need this client to log in and see the new art.  By Saturday, April 4, 2015 at 12:00pmET you can head to the City of Britian and look for a pretty pink squirrel that you can double click to get one of two types of new potted plants.  We have put in 2 rare hues and 16 other hues.  We hope you enjoy them.

Below are a few bugs we have also wanted to go ahead and get fixed.

  • Corrected an issue where the gold picked up at Champ Spawns followed house IDOC loot rules which prevents picking up items too quickly.
  • Corrected an issue where IDOC’s were not falling exactly at the 5,10, or 15 hours.  Players are able to get their house back even in the IDOC state but accounts must be renewed atleast two hours before it drops or it will not be returned to you.
  • Corrected an issue related to teleporting to Haven.
  • Enchanced Client containers with over 125 items that are not bank boxes will default to list view.

Happy Easter Everyone

I’m assuming the pink squirrels have something to do with Easter as it is observed in Britannia and the other realms of Ultima Online…but in truth, I am largely ignorant of this body of lore.
