Also available in the store to celebrate the 15th anniversary of Ultima Online is a new tshirt. Take a look.

Let's get the celebration started.

$65? Gulp.

Make a 2560x1440 computer wallpaper and sell it to me for $5 or $10.

 

[CryptisRavenous]

65 Dollars! Plus shipping! =(

 

[Specialshoes]

Not a single Meer to be found. Juka are represented but no Meer.....I am sorry I cant purchase this for that reason.

 

[kelmo]

Have you bought a lot of art? It is right here as pixels... But a real world copy?

 

[Ron Silverbeard]

*Waits for his order confirmation*
300 pieces only! And one will be hanging soon in Central Europe!
Damn the shipping and all! HISTORY! And i will have one! YIEPEEEE!

 

[Frarc]

Well, i orderd me a lithograph.

 

[Crysta]

Some people don't have $65 to spend on something like that..

 

[Woodsman]

65 Dollars! Plus shipping! =(

Same price for the Dark Age of Camelot lithograph, and they couldn't sell through them, so they keep putting them on sale for $15 off (or more).

Make it a $15 Walmart-quality poster and I'd buy it.

The really funny thing is, a lot of DAOC players felt the exact same way - "$65??" and like I said, they ended up having problems selling through. Even today the DAOC lithograph is on sale again for under $50.

It's beautiful, but damn you would have thought they learned their lesson with DAOC.

 

[Ron Silverbeard]

Well, i thinks its an ok price for a piece of art like that...thats life...and you will see screensavers pop up anyway soon too my guess...i mean, its not that hard...not more to say to this...

ya but that was DAOC, remember UO players love to spend money/gold on Deco

 

[Bazer]

Id love to have one myself and hopefully can order one soon but my god the weight of the thing
"Oversized Lithograph 24"x36", 100lb. Paper" 100 lbs

 

[NBG]

Hmm any possibility to have color version of the 15 anni graphic incorporated on jacket and hoodies? White T shirt have no appeal at all....

I for one would shell out the cash for a decent durable jacket or comfortable sweatshirt\hooded sweatshirt.

 

[NBG]

Another thing that would probably sell like hot cake and it is pretty obvious that we needed one for 15 Anni would be.....

15 anniversary UO Pin. If you guys want to make some $$$ this one is a no brainer.

No, a cloth map would have been a no brainer. It is easily the most requested real life, physical UO related thing.

 

[Mr Bug]

That would make a really nice Mouse Pad as well methinks.

Lord Aphid/ The Albatross LS

 

[Xalan Dementia]

a simple black baseball hat with either a white or full color logo of the dragon on the 15 UO logo or just a UO symbol on the hat would be cool. or a black tshirt with the 15th anni puzzle pic on it

 

[Kylie Kinslayer]

Very nice

Sadly though I don't do white T-shirts As a truckdriver white does not last long, those rigs are greasy lol. I would snatch one up in a second if it were black. Lithograph is gonna look good in da man cave tho... well, once I get the man cave built that is

 

[SirZ]

Just ordered the lithogrtaph for me.
But I still want to get/buy 1080p wallpaper with this picture

 

[Eliane_ATL]

And now a Lithograph will go straight to Japan!

 

[Amber Witch]

*does a happy dance* The back of the tee-shirt is wicked! I ordered two for my husband and I. And yeah, that artwork is awesome. I don't have a place to put it yet but I order it too.
Oh yeah, YFI, the largest Tee-shirt is already sold out. Maybe they'll get more in for those that need em.

 

[Viper09]

That is a fine piece of art I will give them that
But I don't exactly have that much money to spend on it. Wish I did.

 

[Cear Dallben Dragon]

Not a single Meer to be found. Juka are represented but no Meer.....I am sorry I cant purchase this for that reason.

I never thought there would be someone besides me who would say this....

still bought it though. I'm going to draw a meer on the back... maybe

 

[startle]

Id love to have one myself and hopefully can order one soon but my god the weight of the thing
"Oversized Lithograph 24"x36", 100lb. Paper" 100 lbs

You are joking, right?

 

[Amber Witch]

It's a heavy weight stock. The standard is to weigh 500 pieces of paper to see what the total weight is. So 500 pieces of this litho, before printing, is 100#s.

 

[Basara]

Meaning that the lithograph will weigh 1/5 of a pound, maybe closer to a quarter-pound if the lithographic paints/inks are pretty hefty.

 

[Ron Silverbeard]

Received my Order Confirmation
Cant wait!!!!!

 

[Eärendil]

Wonderful!

 

[UOMarissa]

WOOT!! 2 ordered here!! Plus 2 shirts! Very happy!

 

[BeaIank]

I would so order one if I had a place to put it where my cats wouldn't destroy the shiny new thingy within seconds.

Pretty nice art. Sir Dupre looks like... err... something.

 

[Xalan Dementia]

Pretty nice art. Sir Dupre looks like... err... something.

kinda looks like burt reynolds

 

[Spoontoes]

<snip>
Let's hope it isn't as 'successful' as the new Despise. In which case I'd rather it be a crappy poster that I didn't have to buy, at least then my hopes for something good wouldn't be stamped down yet again.
<snip>

Looks like I was right.

 

[DevilsOwn]

kinda looks like burt reynolds

went lookin' for a pic of Sean Connery that had the same tilt of the head

art is pretty and, no, can't afford that... ah well

 

[BeaIank]

went lookin' for a pic of Sean Connery that had the same tilt of the head

... You're absolutely right. He looks like Sean Connery.
This helps explaining this... "funny tingle"... I feel when I look at it.

 

[Flagg]

If Juka face and text " Ultima Online" were missing, I could never guess the image has something to do with UO. * Or maybe I could? It is difficult to say without BEING ABLE TO PROPERLY SEE THE PAINTING I AM SUPPOSED TO PAY 65 dollah+shipping.
Also, 1997-2012 is something you read on tombstones, not birthday cards.

*To be fair same goes for the famous much loved Hildebrandt print too(my profile) Now that I'd love to buy in litograph btw.

When it comes to the shirt... That 15 Anni logo. I keep wondering about wether the intentions of the 15th anniversary Dragon towards UO logo are all that honorable and wether what they are doing is consensual or not. Perhaps it is suble anti-EA critique?

...Sorry to troll about some, concept of having to pay 65 bucks for painting not even available for proper view made me all sour! But I'm okay again don't worry!

 

[BeaIank]

Wait, is that burning man right over the Ultima Online Logo Lord British?

 

[Sargon]

At $65, I'm holding out for the 20th anniversary lithograph.

 

[DevilsOwn]

Wait, is that burning man right over the Ultima Online Logo Lord British?

coupla things I'm scratchin' my head about, including that... the guy with the green disk covering his face, the guy with a 14 point rack on his head and the guy with what looks like an open potbelly stove behind his ear

 

[Frarc]

I think the one with green disk could be a exodus minion.

 

[Spoontoes]

Wait, is that burning man right over the Ultima Online Logo Lord British?

Aye - it's Richard Garriott spontaenously combusting after seeing what has become of his once beautiful creation.

Seriously, a poster and a (frankly crap looking) T-Shirt, seems to me a terrible shame that something that has survived as UO has for fifteen years and still keeps going deserves something a little more respectful than that, and I think the faithful playerbase deserve much much more (and I'm not really including myself in that, though I was there at the start).

 

[Promathia]

Since some people are having some problems, I decided to try to help everyone out.

13. Juka/Kabur

[Woodsman]

Shadowlord?

UO 15th Anniversary Puzzle Key | The Crossroads

I don't remember seeing the face of a Shadowlord directly in the Ultima games, but the hood, the eyes, the humanoid appearance would lean towards it. Plus the Shadowlords were in UO.

 

[BeaIank]

#7 seems to be a Shadowlord.
Your take on #14 seems to be correct, but I can't help but picture human version of Lord Blackthorn when I look to him.

 

[Woodsman]

And I'm still having a hard time accepting that Dawn.

 

[Woodsman]

Like somebody else said, pretty symbolic to have him right above a burning Lord British.

 

[Promathia]

Personally, I think they have the 3 races at the middletop , since they are the playable races in game. (Garg, Human, Elf). Also, I do believe 5 looks more like a Platinum Dragon than a Stygian Dragon.

 

[BeaIank]

And I'm still having a hard time accepting that Dawn.

Aye. Looks more like the female version of the Stranger/Avatar. The sword they're holding is pretty similar, and then there's the ankh...

Maybe it's Lady British from Ultima Forever

 

[Specialshoes]

This was posted along with RG's memborable moments.


Richard also mentioned the death of Lord British but he was sure that everyone has heard that story. We have and we made it part of the art work. In honor of that moment we give you another puzzle piece - to complete the burning Lord.

 

[Assia Penryn]

Sill undecided about buying the lithograph. $65 is worth a limited edition lithograph in my opinion, but not sure where I'd hang it being so large. I would like to say THANK YOU for making it a standard frame size though. Having to get it custom framed would have been painful.

Eric Polak is a name I'm very familiar with given how much I've played D&D, deadlands, etc over the years. Nice choice.

Love the t-shirt, but I don't wear white. If they had a black version, I'd probably hop right on that. I would also like to see a travel mug or coffee mug with the shirt graphics. It would be something I could use AND enjoy.
