The Paladins might want to step up their offer.... "Hear ye, hear ye! The foul scum known as Blood Tax must fall to preserve us all! For she is responsible for 24 murders. The Paladins set a price of 7 gold pieces for her head..." #ultimaonline #screenshotsaturday #roleplay #indiegamedev

Ships from Papua fled north on the seas towards the Serpent Pillar, hoping to escape the flood, but never made it. Their ships crashed on the shores of a land once called Terra Sanctum. Stranded, they setup what is now known as Settler’s Cove. #UltimaOnline #Storytelling #IndieGameDev

A bird's eye view over a village in the jungle. There are grass roof shelters, dirt paths, and a sturdy but primitive fence surrounding the village. Water and swampland work as a natural border to this place.

In the middle of the forest there is a tavern, the Rotten Tooth Tavern. This tavern is like no others. It's a place that welcomes thugs and bandits. Stolen goods? Bring it to the fence. Need a hit? Sit around the stone fireplace with raiders. Never a dull night. #UltimaOnline #IndieGameDev

This is a screenshot from Ultima Online. It's a wood and plaster tavern filled with bandits in leather, hide and fur-covered woodsmen, soldiers from the city. People are eating, drinking, and discussing business.

This is the upstairs room of an Inn. It's dark but well light by candlelight. There are a few small rooms available and a large suite. This is a screenshot from Ultima Online

When players arrive on a new Ultima Online shard, one of the most common places they visit is Lord British's throne room. On Tides of Power, they are in for a rude awakening if they skipped the lore page on our website... The King did not survive the flood. #TidesofPower #UltimaOnline #IndieGameDev

A screenshot from Ultima Online. The scene is inside a castle throne room which has an altar, presumably for a King's throne. Instead, sits a coffin, surrounded by tribute candles left out of respect of those who came to visit.
