Easy to join, install and log in
One download sets everything up: the Moongate Legacy client, the Razor assistant and, if you don't have it yet, the free official Ultima Online Classic game files, fetched straight from EA. No patchers, no hunting for files.
There's no sign-up form either. Type the account name and password you'd like at the login screen and your account is made on the spot, and that one login takes you to every shard.
Always play to win, never pay to win
Too many shards have been ruined by staff who sell power. Here, game masters never create, sell or trade gear, gold or advantages; everything in the world is earned in the world.
If donations ever come, they will be cosmetic only and never custom items: no better stats, no stronger weapons, no shortcuts, nothing that changes how you play.
Classic look, a world that keeps growing
Britannia keeps its original art and believable hues: no custom art packs, no rainbow gear, nothing that looks out of place. What does change is the world itself. Moongate Legacy is developed day by day, with new quests, dungeons, events and lands added as the shard grows, all built from UO's own art.
Renaissance: the UOR era
Felucca and Trammel, plain weapons and armour, skill and reputation over loot. The rules and feel of the year the world split in two, with new adventures added in the same spirit.
Shadows: Defiance Network AOS, reborn
Age of Shadows with item properties, Malas and Luna, necromancers and paladins, and the content veterans of Defiance Network AOS will recognise:
- The Lost Lands: a harsh frontier with no insurance and no bank box, reached through red moongates.
- The Cursed Cave: its own dungeon, creatures, quest and artifacts.
- Town invasions: orcs, undead and worse march on the cities.
- Quests: the Plague, Midas and the Elder Wizard, plus hunting bulk orders.
- Rares: stealable decorations for collectors and thieves alike.
PvP the way you remember it
Felucca is dangerous by design: open PvP, red names and guards only in town. Settle a score properly with a duel in Luna's Grand Arena, where a ladder keeps the rankings, and join guild wars, events and tournaments run by the staff.
Events and games
Defiance was famous for keeping its players busy, and so are we: the daily Last Man Pentagram, the crate race, Bomberman, the lottery and video poker, dungeon treasure chests and staff-run events.
Macro the classic way
Training a skill with a macro in your own house is allowed, just like the old days, and Razor comes with our client. Gathering resources unattended is not, and neither are speed hacks or combat scripts in PvP. The rules are short and fair.
Your progress is safe
Every shard is backed up daily and backups are kept for two weeks, on a dedicated server with DDoS protection.
