We are excited to set a concrete date for the release of Ultima Online Forever: Rising.
Although we mentioned December, we decided it would be rather awesome to release it live on our 9th year anniversary which is January 18th, 2022. The expansion will feature a boat-load of new content, hundreds of new animations including monsters, animals and more. Thousands of new items(decorative etc.) and clothing which will be used for crafting, rare drops, perks, and unique quest loot rewards for new systems.
In this teaser trailer you'll get a sneak peak at two new random dungeon adventures, a new dungeon, a new dungeon level with champion boss all with new monster animations, new clothing and decorations as well as Militia Ascension.
Militia Ascension
We will be adding tons of new content and incentives for the Militia System.
Though things are still in flux and subject to change. Here is a quick breakdown for Militia Ascensions as it currently stands:
Runes will spawn in dungeons around the world every 4-6 hours. A Rune will be able to be picked up and carried to a Guild’s Sanctum. After the Rune reaches the inner hall of the sanctum it will summon a Guild’s Sergeant of Arms, which will begin attempting release the power from within the Rune. After 10 minutes undisturbed the Rune’s power will be released.
Sanctums: There will be 4 sanctums located throughout the world. They are locations of great power and natural lava flow which is great for working on ancient relics.
Sergeant of Arms: This is a new NPC which can be customized and will represent your guild, it can be summoned to a guild house of your choosing.
Rune Rewards: Each Rune will provide different rewards, and there will be more Runes added over time.
Rune of Domination: This Rune will allow your guild to redeem 1 raffle ticket for choosing next week’s Militia Dungeon.
Rune of Preparation: This Rune will enter your guild to be next week’s Militia Dungeon Master.
Rune of Cunning: This Rune will enter your guild to be the next week’s Militia Dungeon Treasurer.
Militia Silver: As an incentive for using Militia, you can visit the Militia Dungeon and will automatically be able to collect Militia Silver. There will be seasons with the silver, it will change every 6 months. Each time the season changes you will be able to redeem them for new rewards including exclusive hued wearables.
Militia Dungeon: Every Sunday at 6pm (Server time) a draw will pick where the next week’s Militia Dungeon is, who the next Dungeon master, and Dungeon Treasurer will be.
Militia Dungeon Master: The Dungeon Master will be able to place traps throughout the dungeon which will surly give them the upper hand while dominating their opponents.
Militia Treasurer: The Militia Treasurer’s Guild will automatically collect a percentage of Silver obtained from their guild throughout the dungeon. This will be able to be retrieved from the Sergeant of Arms at the end of the week.
