UO Stratics reports back from the recent EA Mythic Media Event in Fairfax, Virginia, about the state of Ultima Online and what's in store for players with the upcoming release of Kingdom Reborn.

Ultima Online is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year and lots of changes are about to occur within the world! The EA Mythic press event was held in January for members of the web , online, tv, and magazine media, and we were presented with the newest of information from the Ultima Online team.

Producer Aaron Cohen and Lead Designer Nick "DragonHead" Corea were there to show off the largest investment EA has made to the game since their acquisition, the newest expansion: Kingdom Reborn. Kingdom Reborn is due out sometime spring of '07. As DragonHead showed off the current Legacy client being used on UO servers, Aaron showed the exact same areas with KR. The new client will be distributed free of charge to subscribers and includes a complete artistry redesign of all areas, and effects. Kingdom Reborn also includes upgrades to the inventory system including a "loot all" button. Also, auto-stacking and one click inventory usage will be available.
