The latest Ultima Online newsletter teases the upcoming Treasures of Wildfire event. Producer Bonnie Armstrong writes:

Spring is in full swing and Summer is right around the corner.  We hope all of the Ultima Online community is well and safe and everyone is looking forward to our upcoming summer and fall event schedule.  Right now you can experience both Soulless Seduction and Alchemist’s Abomination to prepare for the next chapter of our event series, Treasures of Wildfire which kicks off in June and is sure to offer a little something for everyone!  Our artists are also busy at work preparing new rewards to collect in our popular fall events.  This is an exciting time to be part of Britannia as we also continue work on Ultima Online: New Legacy.  We are rebuilding, from the ground up, the backend of our main content engine to make Britannia feel more alive and engaging than ever before and appreciate the excitement and patience as we build this bold new adventure!  As I mentioned previously, our next New Legacy dev hangout will be coming up in June so keep an eye on your inbox and UO.com for the invitation to the live stream!

As well, it would appear there’s been a bit of a shakeup in the Event Moderator ranks:

As some of you might have noticed, EM Asiantam has recently left the EM program.  With that being said until we are able to arrange for another translator to assist us with the Dev Meet and Greets we will be postponing the in game meetings on the Japanese shards for the time being.  In the meantime, until we can arrange for a replacement I am encouraging our Japanese players to submit their questions to me at Mesanna@broadsword.com and we will make sure your questions are answered in the monthly newsletter.

You can also click through to read a new piece of lore fiction by — who else? — EM Malachi, which draws upon both Serpent Isle (maybe; the piece references Dark Monks, though the ones in the story are male) and Forge of Virtue, the expansion for The Black Gate; the Heart of Castambre makes an appearance.
