The Game:
Eternity UO is a free game shard based on the MMORPG (massively multiplayer online role-playing game) Ultima Online. A game in which you can choose your own role such as hunter, crafter, thief and many more to play in a virtual world and interact with the creatures and other players on the shard.
Staff:
We have a very dedicated staff team that work on a voluntary basis. The team is best described as friendly and hard working trying to improve the shard every day. The members are selected using very high standards preventing any possible corruption or other unwanted behaviour.
Shard publish/version:
The setting of Eternity is in the late stages of the Age Of Shadows expansion. The shard includes some changes of later expansions to improve the balance and game play. The shard is also different to most other shards because it has countered the free shard problems of having an unlimited amount of accounts, by introducing its own bulk order system and making veteran rewards available via game challenges.
Shard rule sets:
There are three worlds to explore on Eternity; Felucca, Ilshenar and Malas. Malas has a friendly setting, also known as trammel to veteran players, on this world you cannot attack or be attacked by other players. The other two worlds and dungeon Doom will have felucca rule set meaning that you will be able to combat other players there.
Caps:
All caps are according to OSI standards, some examples:
Faster Casting = 2
Lower Mana Cost = 40%
Hit Chance Increase = 45%
Defence Chance Increase = 45%
Damage Increase = 100%
Swing Speed 1.25 seconds
Loot:
Luck plays a bigger role in loot quality than on most other free shards. Loot is balanced to make it not too hard to get a basic suit, but not overpowered either.
Casting:
Mage casting speed is like on RunUO 1.0 with caps of faster casting 2 (0 under protection) and faster cast recovery 6.
Veteran Rewards:
Items known as veteran rewards which you get as reward of having an old account on most shards can be acquired in a different way on Eternity. Because you can create as many accounts as you want on free shards these items are usually valueless on most shards. These items can be acquired through in-game challenges on Eternity; ethereal mounts for example can be acquired by clearing out an ethereal dungeon and resistances can be added to robes and cloaks using magic sewing kits.
Bod System:
To prevent devaluation of bulk order deeds by farming with multiple accounts/characters we have implemented our own bulk order deed system, every hour a number of bods are handed out depending on the amount of players online. The first ones to be at the bookkeepers will get the first bods.
Accounts:
Account ownership is bound to e-mail addresses which you can set when you first logon. Passwords and other details can only be modified when you have control over the e-mail address. Account and item trading is allowed but not supported by our staff in any possible way. Your account details are your own responsibility we do not take actions if you have given your account details away or when losing items due to trusting the wrong people. Trading items or accounts is done at your own risk.
Skill gain:
Skill gain is relatively easy, especially fighting skills can be easily trained. Unattended skill macroing is allowed, but watch out if you gain items from it i.e. mining or lumberjacking, it is accounted for as farming and you can loose your account when caught doing this.
