Ultima Online Producer's Letter Talks About Forsaken Foes Update, Toxicity, And Pumpkin Pirate Ships

With the Forgotten Treasures update now live and out of the way, the Ultima Online devs are now hard at work on the Forsaken Foes update slated for release this Fall. In her latest Producer’s Letter, Bonnie “Mesanna” Armstrong writes that the team is now prepping to release the update on the test server soon.

“We are currently preparing for our first TC1 release of our next publish, Forsaken Foes, which brings new equipment, some quality of life updates, and a continuation of our ongoing story arc!”

She goes on to warn the community against rude behavior, especially when posting in the forums. “[The forums] is supposed to be a place that everyone feels comfortable to post comments, bugs, and questions, not a place to be made to feel inferior by others,” writes Bonnie. “Rude behavior will not be permitted.”

Violators will be sent warnings followed by a 30-day forum ban if the behavior persists. Persistent toxic behavior after the 30-day ban will result in a permanent ban from the forums. During the month of May alone, the devs have banned and suspended more than 60 accounts for disruptive behavior, harassment, macroing, and abuse of game mechanics among others.

Oh, and there's a Pumpkin Pirate Ship teased for Forsaken Foes somewhere in there too.
