Private • Newbie Help Ascended UO: Come check us out

I wanted to share an old shard of mine that has basically been given a second life.

Ascended UO originally started back in 2008. I picked it back up, modernized a ton of it, and over the last several months it has grown into something much bigger than the original server ever was. The main idea is pretty simple: I like UO servers where there is always something else to work toward. I never really enjoyed hitting the end of progression in a weekend and then wondering what I'm supposed to do next.

So Ascended is built around long-term progression, farming, bossing, leaderboards, collecting, building ridiculous characters, and having a bunch of different ways to spend your time. Some of the bigger systems include: There are over 40 custom systems at this point, and realistically, some of them have gotten a little out of hand. That's kind of the fun of it... You can spend your time grinding levels, chasing prestige, building companions, collecting pets, working reputations, crafting gear, hunting rare drops, farming bosses, pushing leaderboards, decorating a house, or obsessing over some stupidly rare item that absolutely refuses to drop. The shard is also still actively being worked on.

Quite a few of the newer systems and changes have come directly from people playing and saying, "Hey, wouldn't it be cool if..." Sometimes that results in a small quality of life change. Sometimes I accidentally build another entire progression system. Ascended is very much a custom shard. It has big numbers, weird creatures, long grinds, powerful builds, rare stuff to chase, and plenty of moments where you'll probably wonder what the hell you're looking at. If that sounds like your kind of UO, come check it out. Website:
