A week or so ago, Broadsword Online Games made some updates to Publish 93, the latest batch of new content for Ultima Online:

The issue stopping players from subbing their accounts  as they would normally is now resolved!

Update to the account center:

We still do not have the issue resolved but for the time being you are able to us paypal or buy game time codes from Origin to apply to the account center .   The EA cards are also another source for payment until we can get this issue resolved.

Additionally, the in-game store — probably the most significant new feature introduced in Publish 93 — saw some changes:

Due to a few critical issues with the in-game store we have changed the rules to the following:

• You can only access the in-game store at a safe log out location such as an Inn or your house ( using the skill Camping is not considered a safe log out location).
• Players will no longer be able to access the in-game store if the have recently been in combat

As well, the latest Ultima Online newsletter was released today. It’s a bit shorter than usual, but it does contain a bit of information about Publish 94:

With Publish 93 out the door we are working hard on Publish 94, which focuses on Halloween and Ultima Online’s 19th Anniversary! We’re continuing the tradition for anniversary gifts (Hint: 19 years is the bronze year). We’re also including an option for a new potted plant which comes in 15 different colors!

We will be making some improvements to the Ultima Store and making a few additions. Items will be rotated in and out of the store so please keep an eye on the featured section of the Ultima Store for the latest additions!

We are also fixing several bugs with the store, crashes, and in game problems that are causing several issues for our players and Customer Service.

All items from the last contest has been mailed so stay tuned for the next contest we will be doing.

Everyone have a safe and fun summer and don’t forget to come see us at the next Developer Meet & Greet on June 27, 2016 at 4pm ET on Europa!

Publish 94 will, of course, also add various bits of Halloween-themed content to the game:

We are excited to focus on several popular Halloween themed content additions in Publish 94. We’ve got some new pumpkins that can be collected if you are courageous enough to take on the vicious pumpkin patch Grimms. The Butchers will once again spawn in the cemeteries across Britannia so you can collect carving kits to carve one of two new designs, as well as all the existing carved pumpkin designs. We’ve added several new treats to the Trick or Treating system (make sure you train up those beggars!) and we are pleased to announce the return of the Treasures of Doom event that will take place in a new dungeon, The Kotl City – the final unexplored corner of Eodon.

And you can see at the end there that the next Publish will also add a new area — a dungeon — to Eodon, as it has been realized in Ultima Online.
