Pan of the Ultima Online 15th Anniversary Birthday Cake (and a few event pics)
Whoever made that cake, great job! Notice as it pans around (thanks for this George) you are able to see the important little details that make this cake that more special - the look of the stones on the outside walls of the Castle, and the intricate brick marks, the doors - well done!

Looks scrumptious! Great job to whoever made it!
Now we know what the east,north and west side of a castle looks like. Maybe a future new UO will allow that in game. A day when you take an arrow to your south side and have to look away from the north to see who is there.
Okay, apologize for the delay. Here are all the pics I took:
Outside of the office building, as you enter the parking lot.
All participants had a chance to sign this special 15th Year Anniversary poster.
Just a random wall mount I want to stealth back and steal.
The Dunkin' Donuts (arranged by "virtue") and Queen Mum cookies spread.
Back row: EM Aname from LS, EM Barnaby from Catskills, and EM Autolycus from LS.
Middle row: EM Cyno Razik (Pac), EM Dudley (Ches), EM Faine Morgan (Origin), and EM Eira (Sonoma).
Front row: Nails Warstein from Catskills/Belgarath from Origin.
(Thanks to EM Faine Morgan for captions!)
I thought this poster was pretty cool.
Happy 15th Anniversary UO! Kept falling down--even though Dudley did his best to stealth band-aid fix the situation
.
Mesanna signs a "black pumpkin" from Ozz, from Atlantic (correct me if wrong and I forget the guild, apologies).
Chesapeakians! Second from left, standing, Nanoc (I believe?), Daktari behind him, Yoshi--well, wearing a Yoshi shirt. Fill in and I'll update.
More Chesapeakians.
Yoshi and Rivi, Chesapeake (SHE).
Newest (well, one of the newest) dev, Dudley! Congrats, sir! Misk, then Bleak.
Plans for City Loyalty.
Plans for new peerless style encounter.
Peerless encounter continued.
Plans to fix economy, UI, and improve PvE.
New hues, pet slot changes, pet revamps, new tameables, and re-worked...well, hey, one thousand words.
Graphic updates in development.
New website! Marketing, marketing, marketing.
Jeff hands out an extra robe to everyone on his left (audience right).
Ozog (in orange), peeing on everything while no one is looking.
Another look at the poster.
The dining area--Mesanna and the gang went all out.
Lunch menu, UO style.
Offices, snack machines, and in the far right corner there were a ton of free Warhammer books and graphic novels. Very nice first come, first served finds.
Front of the birthday cake IDOC.
Back of the cake.
EM Faine Morgan slicing through the cake.
Talk about a healthy portion!
Rivi (Chesapeake, SHE), too cool for cake line.
Rivi, Dak (Chesapeake, SHE)
Mr. Juan de Fuego (Lake Superior, I believe), whom Dak and I met during lunch. Behing Mr. de Fuego, what we deduced to be perhaps some UO2 models.
What remained of the cake (could have fed an army).
Alternative look at the damage.

A look, albeit a blurry one (sorry), of the anniversary poster.
Dudley, Jeff, and Blackthorn, prior to being crowned the new King of UO.
Crowning of Blackthorn.
Blackthorn addresses a question during Q&As.
Mesanna addresses audience after Blackthorn wraps up.
Then gets the giggles.
Winfield (Chesapeake, Paxlair), in a full fisherman costume (with hat mods inside his hat, no less).
Paxlair presents Dudley with two framed pictures created by, I believe Ashlynn?
More blurriness on my part, apologies.
Stratics staff members present a gift to Mesanna and the team.
Costume contest.
More costume contest.
More, more costume contest.
Devs try to find Mesanna. Realize she's in front of them.
Ah, that's better.
Mesanna and the team address questions.
Dudley's awesome jester shoes.
Bioware logo with faux flame bookends.
The original.
"Can I take this?"
Rivi, EM Faine Morgan, and Dak strike a pose.
Rivi, myself, and Dak.
Myself and EM Faine Morgan. I promise to attend Origin events!
Jeff in full Dupre outfit. I will try to troll you on Twitter, Jeff.
Rivi, Mesanna, and Dak.
Mesanna's reaction to me saying, "Please don't kill me!" lawl.
Discussing UHall with Mesanna candid.
Mesanna almost ready to kill me. Eep.
Thanks for bringing that snazzy camera and for sharing. Great pics!
