Well "official" might be a misnomer. Just a regular UO player had the drone.

Ahhhh.... ok. That's different. I take back my previous :cursing: over the situation and return to my o_O face when it comes to them not streaming the "What's Coming" segment of the festivities

I have to say, when I met people this weekend, and told them I was @Keith of Sonoma on Stratics, some of them were quite surprised. LOL

It was a pretty amazing event! It was AWESOME to put faces with names. And to have a chance to visit with the Devs, and Stratics people I have dealt with as well or course. :)

FYI, my vote for a 25th anniversary party is LAS VEGAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hehehe

PS, a new castle didn't hurt either. :blushing:

IF UO is still on the menu... and I say that with a optimistic heart.
The powers that be might think on it. NO Promises.
The party was from what we could see from the scant pics a huge success.

My vote would be for somewhere like Gatlinburg Tn.. all those moutains and finally announce Dwarves as a new playable race at that time. Nice tie in :)
I would definitely go to this party

It’s about only an hour and a half from my second home in Tennessee

But if it Vegas that’s only a 3.5 to 4 hour drive from my primary residence. I agree Vegas is far over rated, I would rather it be in Texas than Vegas.

I went close by Gatlingburg on the trip.

I went down to Jefferson City and picked up a friend to act as emergency driver if necessary (wasn't) and company for the trip, and while I was hanging out with my UO peeps, he spent the day over at Dulles and the museum there.

Maybe we should have it up in Reno since we're all getting up there in age. Hehe

My grand parents lived right out side Reno in Sparks I used to go there to the Hot August Nights, far better than Las Vegas. Reno has a more old west old town feel about that’s hard explain. Would be a much better choice than Vegas for sure. Also there is Harrison car museum there ;)

We went they the Air and Space Museum before the tasty chicken.

While there, we decided that while we still want these:

We may want these more:

:drool:

They were in the first three Ultimas after all... and "the Space Ace" title has a certain ring to it!

OMG YOU DID NOT! Now I'm glad I didn't go! You are horrible! :/
Does it make it any better that he referred to you, to Bleak as his "little Jester"?

I also vote Vegas for 25th!

I wanted to once again say thank you to everyone who came and introduced themselves. Too many people to name.

For those who stayed up late on Friday, it was a good experience to have some more personal and intimate conversations with the developers about our opinions on the game and things we would like to see going forward. Hearing first hand from them how they handle bugs, deal with the code, and their own experiences in UO provided a really unique perspective into the game and how development works.

If anyone is ever in New York City and cares to grab a drink or a bite to eat, I'd be glad to play host!

I said tester! It was fantastic to meet everyone, lots of exciting news to talk about in the coming weeks and months. Over 700 photos to sift through on my camera, once we get them sorted we'll post them all over. For now though, I need a nap!

If there is a big 25th Anniversary party in Virginia, Mesanna should book the "nearby" Medieval Times for the last day's event. Seems fitting.

OK now let's do MORE pictures and some VIDEOS!

Wedding Photos and some other small random things I grabbed. I didn't really take as many pics as I wanted but enjoy some full sized fun:
UO 20th Anniversary Party

And Videos!

I hope the videos don't suck.... I didn't edit them :p
The balloons batch #2 wouldnt explode, so we had to shoot them at the roof to hit ppl with the splash

Pam found a nifty 20 Water Resistance shield !

You all realize that there is no reason you can't coordinate your own yearly gathering where ever you like. Not much harder than putting together and executing a rares fest. Except for the fact that you can't get a portal put up for everyone to travel easily to the location.

Keep it simple the first year and grow it from there.

Location -
List of Events -
Registration fee -
Saturday - Sunday event - No problem.
