Houston Dragon Has Relaunched the “Ultima Legacy” Shard

If you’ve hung around the Ultima fandom long enough, you might have heard of Ultima Legacy, an Ultima Online freeshard that also served as a role-playing server for the Ultima Dragons. It had an impressive backstory, and much of the Legacy lore was later used as the premise for the (now defunct) Ultima IX: Redemption.

Ultima Legacy was shut down many a year ago, but Houston Dragon took it upon himself to relaunch the shard last month:

Welcome Home, Ultima Dragons and Friends!

After many years, Ultima Legacy returns to bring new life to the Ultima Dragons roleplaying community.

Those wishing to join, please review the Rules to Join prior to signing up on the server, and be respectful to your fellow Dragons. Please contact Houston Dragon to sign up and request a new account.

The new Player Housing system and rules have been updated, along with the Downloads and Links section. Here is also a handy UO Player Guide for new players.

May you walk in Virtue in these lands! 🙂

A new version of the Horizons Tavern forum (another Dragonly haunt way back when) has also been spun up. This being 2021, there is also a Discord server; both the server and the forum exist both to facilitate shard support, and to allow the new Legacy community to interact outside of the shard.

To access Ultima Legacy, you’ll need to grab the Mondain’s Legacy Client for Ultima Online. You may also wish to grab some or all of the following:

And do be sure to check out the various sidebar links at the new Ultima Legacy website, to get your fill of lore and backstory before you dive anew into the shard.
