AdvanceUO is a fork of RunUO built around the concept of holding nothing about UO sacred in search of the best gameplay experience by today's standards.
We'll be stripping out all but the essential elements of the game, and building from there. Some things you can expect to see:
- Open source project on GitHub.
- RESTful web interface to server, guild, and character info.
- Rewriting of the skill system to reduce repetition.
- Completely redesigned loot and attribute handling.
- Fun from start to endgame, rather than a rush to 7X GM.
- Improved AI in both creatures/npcs and in how the game spawns.
- A suite of GM tools to facilitate events and quests.
- Environment-based configuration files.
- Shard ranking site based on server self-registration.
And that's just for starters.
Sound like your kind of thing?
Yeah, we think it'll be awesome, too.
