Broadsword Online Games put up a news post some months ago about their plans for the next Publishes they will be working to add to Ultima Online:

The remainder of the Treasures of Khaldun content, including Artifact of the Cult drops from the Khal Ankur Champ Spawn, Puzzle Box artifacts, and bonus power scrolls will go live on October 1st. Also going live on October 1st are the pumpkin patches, trick or treating, and zombie skeletons. You’ll have plenty of time over the next two months to experience all this great content, so get out there and have some fun!

We also have some new items coming to the Ultima Store in October! The first of which is a new skeletal cat vanity mount. The second is a “Potion of Glorious Fortune” that gives a bonus to points earned from creatures in the Treasures of Khaldun. As a special thank you to our veterans, all veteran accounts will be able to claim a complimentary potion from the camp outside Khaldun. Keep an eye on UO.com for updates when these items are available.

Looking ahead to Publish 102 we are aiming for a world wide release sometime around the end of October. This is an accelerated publish cycle and will include new additions to the Huntmaster’s Challenge, both new prey and rewards, as well as new hairstyles and beards in the Ultima Store.

There is currently an active discussion (Undress/Dress Macro Addition to Classic Client) related to proposed changes as they relate to a new undress/dress macro being added to the classic client. We encourage you to head over to the forum to learn about and participate in the discussion.

Looking ahead to Publish 103, the elves have been busy getting this year’s Artisan Festival goodies ready as well as some great vet rewards, and a new seasonal encounter we are excited to share with you in our upcoming newsletters.

The Treasures of Khaldun content mentioned at the top, by the way, was what Publish 101 brought to the game. And speaking of Publish 101, it saw a few updates back in October:

We have made the following adjustments to Publish 101 that will be released on the shards during normal maintenance time beginning with the Japanese shards this evening, 10/9/2018:

1. The Khal Ankur and the Dragon Turtle champ spawns located in Felucca have been adjusted to spawn upon morning maintenance and can only be reactivated with valor after the first spawn
2. Cultist’s Ritual Tomes will no longer be spawning as a blessed item on Siege and Mugen.
3. The information for the Felucca Khal Ankur Champ Spawn in the Wiki regarding the guaranteed 120 Power Scroll drop has been corrected, it now states 4 instead of 8 scrolls.

A month later (more or less), Broadsword released Publish 102, first to the shards that traditionally receive publishes first, and then to all shards. The main new feature that Publish 102 brought to the game would appear to be the Huntsman’s Challenge; more details about that can be found in the change notes for the Publish.

And most recently, they’ve also released Publish 103, which — being that it’s an end-of-year release — adds a number of holiday-themed features to UO (including Krampus, who evidently menaces some of the major trade routes in the game).

By and large, then, it would seem that Broadsword hit most of the shots they called way back in early October.

Finally, it would seem that the writing of lore fiction has stepped up again, as there are a few new pieces of it to read on the UO website: The Detective, Seven Deaths, The Oldest One, and Whispers in the Dark (all of which are tied to the content introduced to UO by Publish 101).
