Wonder what the developers are thinking? Well, this is your chance to ask them:

The 4th Crossroads Network Roundtable chat between the players and developers of UWO:O is scheduled for Wednesday, February 28th, at 7pm CST (5pm PST - 8pm EST).

Roundtable Chats are interactive sessions between the Development team and the gaming community so get those questions ready and you might get an answer you've been waiting for!

The chat will be available to you with the Java IRC Client, which will automatically connect you to the room #origin, at The Crossroads of New Britannia.

Or you can use an IRC client and connect to the SorceryNet IRC Network IRC on the following networked servers, channel #origin:

irc.sorcery.net, port 6667
kechara.sorcery.net, port 6667
valinor.sorcery.net, port 6667


The Crossroads IRC Servers are provided in partnership with Sorcery.net

Stuffing the ballot box has never been so much fun. According to PC Gamer's March 2001 edition of Waiting is the hardest part, UWO: Origin has once again made the top of the list, with, of course, the rabid fans of Shadowbane pushing that particular title to 2nd place.

These polls seem so...meaningful...don't they?


Oops February 01, 2001
By: Mystery  
In an interesting turn of events, Gamespot TV (TechTV) had to apologize to Origin Systems and their fans for incorrect reporting. Here's the snippet:

In the January 27 episode of GameSpot TV we aired a segment on Origin System's follow-up to its multiplayer Internet game, Ultima Online. The new game is going to be called Origin.

Unfortunately, in the segment we referred to the new game as Ultima Online: Third Dawn. Third Dawn is actually an expansion pack for the original Ultima Online.

We apologize to Origin Systems, its parent company Electronic Arts, and to fans of the game everywhere. Thank you for bringing the mistake to our attention.

You can read the rest of the apology here.
