Returning Player - Expansions?

[Exeter]

Hi all!
I'm a returning player on Chessie after 9 years. First off, thank you to UO for saving my account. Was amazed to find all characters and stuff intact (minus the house..hehe).

My question is regarding the expansions. What all do I need to buy to get up to date? The last one I had registered was AOS. I downloded the enhanced beta client from the site, and I am not sure what that included. Do I need to buy all the expansions that have come out? Or if I just buy SA will it all be up to date?

Any help is greatly appreciated. I guess I have 9 years of changes to get familiar with!!

When you download the client--either the Classic Client or the Enhanced Client--you will receive all expansions up to and including Mondain's Legacy. You may also choose to purchase the Stygian Abyss (SA) expansion and/or the High Seas booster pack. I recommend the SA expansion.

Welcome back.

Thanks Syrus!!
I can't wait to catch up on all this new stuff. It is somewhat overwhelming just trying to remember the old stuff.
I got creamed repeatedly in Titan Valley the other night, a spot I used to rack up in.

You'll be amazed how quickly everything comes back to you.

A tip I always tell people in game that inquire about UO content is a website.
Ultima Online Gameplay Guide - UOGuide, the Ultima Online encyclopedia
It is a place with a wealth of information. I, for example, tend to look there everyday for some piece of info on this or that.

Yea SA is pretty much a given, it wasn't a bad expansion at all. The new skills (Throwing, Imbuing, Mysticism) are all very useful. The new dungeon areas pretty nice though at least on Chessy they aren't crowded. As for the High Seas booster, it's one of those mixed emotion type things. I like the changes to fishing allowing it to reach 120 skill points through powerscrolls and the new "Boss" monsters but really there wasn't all that much meat added in.

If you need help getting hooked up on Chessy shoot me a PM I can get you in touch with just about anyone. If I don't know them myself I know someone who probably does.

UOGuide does indeed contain a wealth of information, but then so does our own UO Stratics - News - Main site too.
