NEWS [UO.Com] Ultima Online’s 20th Anniversary Party

[Bazer]

Not looking forward to the 12 hour solo drive in 7 hours, should arrive by 11 tommow morning

 

[Amber Witch]

5 people, including myself, from Baja will be flying in Thursday afternoon. Our beloved EM Obsidian will be arriving most likely when we least expect him and scare the bejesus out of us. Again.......

 

[Merlin]

On plane now... landing in Dulles shortly. Will be in hotel by 3pm EST.

If anyone is up for grabbing a drink later tonite at hotel bar (or anywhere else nearby), send me a PM.

 

[Longtooths]

Just got room at Hyatt, running out to grab some food and look around.

I made a discord if anyone wants to join, easier to use mobile to communicate.

First update on the party:

In addition to the UO Party being held here, there is some sort of beauty pageant on-going it seems. Lots of women wearing "Miss State" sashes and high heels walking around.

Yeah they are very easy on the eyes.

 

[Merlin]

Been up and down from room to the main event area a few times. They're setting up the main room for the party... big "UO" banner out front. Got in a quick peak at some of the goodies. Looks like they have a nice package for us!

Probably going to get some hibachi or sushi for dinner later tonite, and then hang near the hotel bar. Picked up a few bottles of booze as well!

 

[Larisa]

Geesh Merlin takes pictures! We are vicariously living through you at the party come on!!

 

[skett]

I agree pictures

 

[Spellbound]

Made it to the Hyatt Regency Dulles, and hungry! Anyone have any seafood restaurant recommendations?

 

[Longtooths]

WIFe and I ended up driving out to Clifton,VA where I used to live....beautiful

 

[Keith of Sonoma]

I made it to the Hyatt!

 

[Spellbound]

Enjoy folks!

 

[Larisa]

For Dinner, @MakeilaUO and I went to Matsutake Japanese restaurant and got sushi. It was good! They also had good looking hibatchi... perhaps tomorrow.

 

[Spellbound]

Hibachi steak and scallops at Sakura. Yum! Dined with wonderful company of Mesanna, Misk, Kyronix, and some EMs too.

 

[Speranza]

Checking in as here at the party as well. Saw Star Long. He is totally a robot!!!

 

[Merlin]

Got to meet some good folks so far... @Riyana @Speranza @Keith of Sonoma @Zuckuss @kelmo @Obsidian and many other folks from Seige, Atlantic, Catskills, etc. Looking forward to how the rest of the party will turn out.

Saw Star Long and got in a few words with Richard Garriot. It was very cool to see King Blackthorn and Lord British in the flesh!

[BeaIank]

You all have fun there.
Would have loved to be there as well, but visa issues.

 

[Spiffykeen]

Okay, so I just dreamed, for what seemed like all night, that my trip was cancelled at the last minute, and I was PISSED! But here I am, awake at 6:15 and getting ready for the commute into NoVa

That is one pathetic-looking crown on Lord British....geesh with all his money he couldn't have gotten something more...lordish?

Nice pic of the three of you, thanks for sharing!

It is authentic though, most medieval rulers had very simple crowns that were pretty much just a metal circlet like that.

The more powerful ones would have 2 or 3 gems in it, but they just looked like colored rocks, not the shiny rubies and sapphires at jewelry stores currently.

 

[Larisa]

Almost....trying to find a good picture of him in game....they are all too small :/

His was silver and the middle piece was gold....

There were a few actually.

He gave all of his money to the Russians for a week long space vacation. He can only afford Circlets now

 

[Digowiz]

Post some pictures please....

No live Stream? What a seriously missed opportunity. Enough said

I'd disagree with you if you were wrong...

 

[ShriNayne]

No live stream or anything? Aww that sucks, some of us are too far away to go to the party you know!!! Other games have parties on all the servers for their Anniversary celebrations... just saying....

 

[Larisa]

I'm sure with all that's going on there, questions, socializing...they'd have to keep moving the camera cus ppl move

I'm sure it's being recorded and we'll get to see it....or snippets of it, when all this chaos is over

Agreed.. with the following exception.. the "Dev Team - What's Coming - Q&A" should be a mandatory live stream imo.

I will agree with that...have a mic so the people asking questions can be heard....oh well....:/

 

[Speranza]

NOOOO we are one usb cable short of live streaming this event!!!!

Edit, although this laptop is pretty crappy... not sure it has the CPU to stream so technicallly we are saving you the frustration of lag
