HomeLan conducted an interview with Producer Anthony Castono about the upcoming Ultima Oline expansion "Age of Shadows" to learn more about what's in it. Here's something interesting:
HomeLAN - What can you tell us about the new gameplay features that Age of Shadows has?
Anthony Castoro - Well, the design team felt that the next expansion should do more than just add land and skills. They wanted to improve UO in a way that would affect all of the players and bring an on-going sense of discovery to the game. As a result, the new item property system was introduced. This new system is a powerful addition to UO.
Essentially, there are a large number of properties and abilities that can potentially be found on a given item, but each item may only have a small subset of them. As a result, every time a player discovers a new item through adventuring, there’s a chance they’ll get something new and different. We believe that this system by itself will provide many (many) new hours of exciting gameplay for our players. |
