Broadsword Online Games have are putting together a focus group to test their work-in-progress on the upcoming Time of Legends expansion for Ultima Online:

We are happy to announce we are ready to open the Time of Legends focus group. We would like to have approximately 250 players to take a first look at the Time of Legends and give us constructive feedback. If you have an active account and would like to join this group these are the steps to follow:

• Email mesanna@broadsword.com with your account name and a valid email address to use for the internal forums.
• You will then receive a link to fill out a Non-Disclosure Agreement and a Survey to give us a better insight to your playing style.
• You will then be added to an internal forums where you will find all the details of what you will be testing and where.
• Please use the default subject title as “Time of Legends Focus Group”

Please note you will not be added until you have completed the NDA and survey. We will begin the process this week to be able to get people started as early as next week. We look forward to your feedback and working with you.

You can read more about what Time of Legends is all about in this post. In brief, it’s a new, full expansion for Ultima Online that will reference the stories (and settings, presumably) of both Ultima 2 and Savage Empire. The name of the expansion is a reference to the location of Shadowguard, the castle of Minax in Ultima 2.
