UO Strange-Earth,

Beautiful new shard running High Seas with so much to get lost in. Staff consist of myself and a UO historian both of which are active in making this shard a strange but fantastic world to play in.

Countless hours have been spent discussing how to recreate some of those nostalgic UO moments you had as a kid. Here are just some of the ingredients we came up with,
  • Free from "pay to play" tactics, meaning this is 100% free, hosted by passionate gamers like you
  • Built in scripted player commands such as [selfres and [claim have been added to help speed up the mundane tasks
  • 1yr old accounts gain +1 house slot & can place houses in custom regions
  • Skill and Stat caps have been carefully vetted to help enrich gameplay
  • Custom quests, maps, buildings, storage keys, PvE, and PvP, we have it all :)
We are active in our dev work and have big ambitions to continue to add to this server as time allows for it.

This world was meant for you to play in so come join us! Discord channel

Hot off the press, Ver 2.0 Custom UOSE Client Patcher, packed with even more logic

Wiki guide - Youtube tutorial
Client bundle location - Google Drive
Feature releases: logic now includes files required for new custom art work such as the login screen, deco, housing foundation, music, map, and menus.

As if this was not enough regarding new features, this version also includes logic checks for any running UO clients in the background. To prevent updating conflicts, we recommend having UO clients closed first. + There is logic that checks for new releases of the client patcher and if one is found, this system will auto retrieve/install it. ‍♂️

Always lots going on around the shard. Recently we deployed a new seasonal area to play in.

In an unexpected twist of fate and to celebrate Sapphire's birthday, we've decided to share the magic of our custom Fall grounds! ✨

For the next 7 days, the mystical portal awaits in Umbra. Venture forth into this limited-time haven, where autumnal wonders and surprises await. Don't miss your chance to experience the charm—time is fleeting, just like the vibrant leaves in the wind. ️
