Went there to check out the black friday sales and decided to search their ultima online section. Not listed among everything else, in any quantity. Anyone else having this issue?

Just checked and they are missing for me as well. If you google search "Ultima Online Sovereign" you get a link for the Origin page for the 1000S bundle, but it 404s.

Can you fix the issue of nothing UO related being included in the Black Friday sale?

Or any sale for that matter in the past six months at least !
They wont do sales on 'in game currency' (ie sovereigns) so due to changing the way we can buy stuff we will NEVER get any 'sale' items again. The last 50% off sale was a clear demonstration of that. If you read the terms and conditions for getting the 50% off it stated clearly no sale on in game currency.

They never put game time or game expansions on sale, just the nice to have items, deco, soulstones, tokens type items but now they are in game purchase only by sovereigns it means we will never have the option to wait for a 'sale' as we only have in game currency for these items now. Bad move putting the stuff 'in game' as this is the result.

While sovereigns may not go on sale, expansions and boosters definitely should. They should also ALL be available worldwide.

The only logical reason I can envision for Origin not discounting things during their big sales, aside from stupidity, malice or gross incompetence, is that they're "afraid" they'll run out of codes again. Though they could simply request more a week or so before they plan to have a sale...

The ingame store should run a monthly sale on something as well. Mesanna said they'd run sales...they just haven't yet.

The Black Friday deals are listed on Origin, and unsurprisingly UO stuff isn't listed.

That's because our game doesn't exist... was closed... just EA forgot to tell Broadsword.

Why are you so negative?
Malag is mostly being sarcastic. Buuuuuuuttttt... There have been numerous occasions where Origin reps have said UO was cancelled or isn't an EA product, both in text chat and over the phone. That level of ignorange/incompetence deserves public derision.

I have 500 I'd be happy to sell you :) I keep looking at the stuff in the store and nothing grabs me

I guess I'm more than a little amazed that many people bought sovereigns that they ran out of codes, unless it's just a glitch ;)

I feel it's more along "Broadsword completely dropped the ball on trying to work this out with Origin/EA". It's easy to blame EA when all we hear is from Mesanna. I'm pretty sure it would be very insightful to hear from the other side for once ;)
