Any decent shards which still have housing space?
As the title suggests, am looking for a UO shard which still has land space to place housing. Im not sure if such a thing exists, but grateful for any recommendations! Thank you =)

Finally a change of heretic class! Yes I know the animation is AI. God bless AI!

I finally had time to create something new again... And this time it’s all about barrels. This pack adds 40 brand‑new barrels in the authentic Ultima Online style, designed to blend perfectly with the existing ones.
You’ll find various versions, ruined variants, and even barrels in the middle of being built. They fit into any setting and finally bring some much‑needed variety to one of UO’s most common props.
I hope you enjoy the new additions!

I've been building a free Ultima Online shard (ServUO) and just opened it up. The thing I'm most proud of: **NPCs run on a local AI model** (Bielik 11B on a dedicated GPU), so you can talk to townsfolk, merchants and wanderers in natural language — in **English or Polish** — and they answer in-character. Call an NPC by name and it'll hold a short conversation; merchants even know their real stock.
**Highlights**
- 🗣️ **AI NPCs** — real conversations, not scripted lines (auto-detects your language)
- 📜 **AI-generated bounties** ([Zlecenie) — unique hunts written by the AI, rewards enforced by code
- ⚔️ **Global Events** every 1h / 12h / 24h / weekly — escalating hordes, rewards split among all participants by contribution
- 🏆 **Weekly Guardian's Trials** — server-wide competition; #1 wins a Power Scroll 120 + a unique trophy
- 🗺️ City invasions, seasonal bonuses, ranking ([Ranking), PvP arena (Trammel, no item loss)
- Caps: 120 skill / 7000 total / 350 stats. Start in Luna with a full starter pack. 100% free, no pay-to-win.
**Join:** ClassicUO → `51.195.105.41 : 2593`
**Site:** https://lastguardian.pl
Polish community but English players very welcome. Feedback (and bug reports) appreciated — it's a solo passion project.
While building my shard I made a tool to speed up content creation, and I'm releasing it free for the community.
**UO Studio** is a Windows desktop app for ServUO server admins. It reads your real client art so you see exactly what you're making, and exports ready-to-use `.cs` scripts.
**Modules**
- 🗡️ **Items** — live art preview, hue, AOS attributes → export .cs or copy an in-game [add
- 🐉 **Mobs** — stats, AI, fight mode, skills, resists, loot
- 🎨 **Hue Bank** — browse/search every client hue, apply to items
- ⚙️ **Server Config** — visual editor for ServUO .cfg files (PlayerCaps, Loot, …)
- 📝 **Script Editor** — edit & import existing .cs
- 🏰 **World Builder** — isometric tile editor; build like a UO house, export a [build_ command
Portable single-file .exe (bundles .NET, no install), dark theme, PL/EN UI.
**Download + source (free, open):** https://github.com/tomaszszremski95-ctrl/UO-Studio
Made by a solo dev — feedback and feature ideas welcome.
What about a UO shard that has AI based bots that play as characters and humans. You could imagine tons of possibilities with events, sieges, etc. I am not thinking just bots... but they fully play the game.
I really want to bring back the old UO magic... I could imagine this fully populating shards in a way that "feels" like the past but still is fully different.
If you are a current shard owner or developer and have ideas on how an investor could help bring this to life... pm me.
Just doesn't hit the same as T2A or Renaissance era PVP.
The shard is amazing. The staff members are hardworking, honest and polite. The community is most friendly and helpful.
But we gotta address these to make sure the shard does not fail:
Autofarmers: Five Four, Coco, TL and some more... Just because they setup their scripts in a way that the toon responds to admins' prescence with NPC like gibberish (I.E.: "Oh!" and "Yes?") does not mean they are not autofarmers. The community knows and you know it. And it is harming the shard.
Exhausted Owner: I have yet to see one good and easy suggestion being implemented. Additionally, it has been more than 2 weeks that the donation box is gone. We are still waiting for systems to be implemented that were promised to be implemented long ago (I.e.: Invasions). It is as if the owner has given up.
Toning down the Tamers: It is a curse every shard goes through. Tamers are elites, casters are the clergy and meele builds are the peasents. Many items in the game do not have meele equivalents. Balance is needed.
Dulliness: After certain point, there is nowhere to go. As instance, bringing the consensual pvp might urge the players to make builds according to pvp might rekindle the need to farm.
Buggy Quests: You know what I am talking about.
I am sure other Insaners have further inputs but these seem to be the top reasons why active ones are leaving.
We love your work and your leadership, Orion. Please don't leave your piece.
What's up with every server I've played since OSI hating Daemon Bone Armor? I remember farming that and glacial staves, badly, when I was like 12yo...
Went hard on uogamers (before the first wipe!) And then a few others last year, second age, tides
I dunno, where can I play with my 9yo son and farm dumb stuff like this? My window for showing him actual gaming is closing i think, maybe someone will make an ultima shard on roblox or fortnite 🤣
Like most of you here, this game has been with me a long time. Moving to a new home - new office. I want to have a tasteful hint of UO in my spot. I’m thinking I’ll go subtle. Or I’ll do the opposite and print the cover art on an entire wall.
Anyway, looking for ideas / pics of real life deco / tribute things my fellow Sosarians have done. Or want to do.
Edit: I need to be able to stay married with this idea.
Let's me start by saying I'm not bashing outlands at all. I've played their and I've enjoyed it.
I've got that UO itch again but I know what I'm looking for probably doesn't exist.
I want something that brings that sense of adventure back to the early game rather than just running in attending macros to get skills to max I want something that rewards players for actually playing and exploring the game. So I guess a custom map would be cool for this so everything is new to explore. Perhaps something like a siege perilous ruleset?
But I would also like something with a decent community (as far as can be expected outside of outlands!)
Apologies for this post because I'm venturing to guess server requests are all too common - I promise I've looked for something like this before asking and simply can't find anything, and I'm beginning to worry it's something that doesn't exist.
I'm looking for a server that has a semi-consistent population (doesn't need to be massively booming or anything but we do like people in our mmo's, yeah?) I personally regard UO circa 2003 as my personal peak, so what I'm looking for is a server that utilizes UO:R and AoS without also utilizing Samurai Empire and beyond, which is where things went off the rails for me.
Finally, as much as I appreciate the creativity and ingenuity on display on custom servers, I'm really looking for the pure, organic experience, so something that strays as close to the Old Ways as possible, with perhaps some QoL here and there.
If I've just described an immensely popular server that I've somehow missed in my search and I've wasted everyone's time, then apologies for being a dummy - and thanks in advance for anyone who can direct me to a new home!
Sucks to hear the same argument day in and day out between a select few. I want the PVE only fun type servers.
It's still cold out irl and I like the hay / swaying cornstalk vibes...
