• Ultima Online - Meet the Devs!
• Shroud of the Avatar Final Wipe!! - July 28th

Discord Voice/Chat Server   We have our Discord server setup! It's similar to Teamspeak, but has chat channel history (similar to IRC chats) and is far more feature rich. We will continue hosting teamspeak. Click here to join our discord server.

World of Warcraft - Legion Expansion   On 08.30.16 Kingdoms Will Burn with the new World of Warcraft expansion, Legion! Join Clan Skullcrusher on Argent Dawn. Message Verissi, Smedlock or Tawahne in game, or send a message to Battletag: crymsonrage#1375.

Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes   A number of heroes have stepped up to support the empire "one credit at a time". The Imperial Trade Consortium (our old namesake from SWG) is active in this mobile game. If you would like to join our group, reply to this forum thread with your player ID.

Ultima Online - Meet the Devs!

Join your fellow Guardians from PGoH on Catskills 07.25.16 7pm EDT to meet the DEVS! The location for this illustrious event is at King Blackthorn's Castle, Trammel. Catskills has become the most active of the roleplaying communities in UO and has experienced a few surges of activity within the past few years, both from returning players and those drawn to it from other shards. The PGoH settlement of Olympus still stands in the same place north of Trinsic with Castle Olympus as its stronghold. Our numbers have of course dwindled greatly over the years during the exodus to newer games, but a few of us remain with heavy roleplay as a focus. The Guardians are still recognized as the protectors of Trinsic by the game's Event Moderators, and the shard has a number of roleplayers who are active most nights. Anyone returning to the game to check in can contact myself (Piper/Blair) or Callista (Heather), and I am sure either of us would be happy to show you around. Strength and Honor!

Website Upgrade   We recently moved the website to a SSD host, which has resulted in a 46.8% reduction in load times. Please stop by and say Hello. If you require assistance, please email support or submit a Ticket via the Support Tracker.
