And here's a quick refresher on the expansion's scope:
The dim glow of the moongate illuminates the jungle ahead, the roar of unknown beasts breaks the silence of night. Before you is the Valley of Eodon, an untamed wilderness of untold riches waiting to be discovered.
Ultima Online: Time of Legends draws inspiration from the classic single player game, Worlds of Ultima: Savage Empires. Through the awesome power of the Time Lord, players are able to explore this new land and immerse themselves in a variety of new features including:
- The Dragon Turtle Champion Spawn
- Shadowguard, the fortress of the vile enchantress Minax
- The Valley of Eodon, a new area to explore with new tameables, artifacts, armor sets, and hidden treasures
- Skill Mastery System, 16 skills with more than 35 new spells & abilities
- Expanded Stonecrafting to allow greater customization of player housing
- 2 new housing tiles sets
- New craftable clothing, including Tiger & Dragon Turtle inspired armor
- 2 additional stable slots
As part of the Time of Legends, all players will benefit from updates to existing systems including:
- Spirituality & Humility virtues, completing the Virtue System
- Revamped currency system to allow greater ease in storing and trading gold
