Origin has released a teaser movie for Ultima Online: Lord Blackthorn's Revenge. The movie is in quicktime format, and size ranges from 2 to 13.5MB. Here's a little about the movie, from Jon "Calandryll" Hanna, Designer, Origin Systems:
was important that this movie reflect Lord Blackthorn's evil intentions, but at the same time, show that not everything in the world is either all evil or all good, there is still a great deal of mystery to unravel. There are still many good citizens in Britannia. And, many who see Lord Blackthorn for the half human, all evil tyrant that he now is and are willing to go to any lengths to bring this madman's vengeful seige to a halt. The question is what will happen, who will ultimately triumph in this battle of good versus evil? And, even those writing the fiction don't know at this point!
The ending scene is what "Lord Blackthorn's Revenge" is all about - the "Dawn" of hope. The final scene shows the new heroine, Dawn, fighting side by side with you and the people of Britannia. She stands as a leader, born of necessity, vigilant and defiant, ready to repel Blackthorn's attack and return control of a once peaceful land back to its people. "Dawn" has no ulterior motives, in that she represents the true Virtuous soul, a model to other citizens of the path of Virtue which is open to any who chose it. The fate of Britannia is far from sealed, and only through the actions of you, the player, can the world be safe once again.
