Below is a list of many frequently asked questions by users here at Sosaria Online:
Q. What is Sosaria Online?
A. Sosaria Online is a free Ultima Online server. You do not have to pay to play on Sosaria Online, although we do gladly thank donations. We are “pronounced” a multi-cluster UO network. Meaning, Sosaria Online is your main portal too free shards individually and specifically selected from the Ultima Online Criteria chosen by us. We are sought out to revise the past and represent the present with UO based multi-cloned servers, all based specifically around their release-al and expansion criteria, all servers such as An Corp, Vas Corp serve as sub-servers to the Sosaria Online Network.
Q. Under what expansion(era) is Sosaria Online based on?
A. Each server is based specifically on the expansion's of Ultima Online over the years.
[T2A(Siege Supported), UO:R(Siege Supported), 3D, LBR, AoS, Custom, Custom]
Q. How do I get started?
A. To get started you need to download the required files listed under "JoinUS" on the homepage if you haven't already done so.
Q. Can I use the copy versions of UO: Renaissance | Lord Blackthorne's Revenge | Age of Shadows?
A. Yes, any version of UO that you have will work, a minimum version of 5.0.8 is required, but we do recommend patching to somewhere around 6.0.5.0, please download the ML client or backup your patches if you exceed this and experience game playability problems.
Q. What's this Sosaria Online Client I keep hearing about?
A. We expect to release a custom Sosaria Online client, similar to how UltimaXNA is built that will allow users to download and instantly play on Sosaria Online using the older client version, (around 2.0.8) somewhat similar to "The Abyss" and the old "Novus Opiate Seclorum" servers.
Q. PvP or Role Playing?
A. BOTH! We have several dueling arenas setup and a "Top 10 Killers" system, resuce quests, bounty board system both Player and Mob supported, as well as CTF matches, events, double domination, maze races, bagball, and bomb runs, even monster bashes. Role playing Is strongly encouraged also, we hope to eventually have a very strong story line(quest system) resembling how it would have taken off if there never was an expansion released after the Renaissance.
Q. How do I go about making money?
Perhaps you could create a warrior and challenge monsters such as skeletons and zombies near graveyards, or go mine a mountain for ingots and sell them to another player. Perhaps mining and smelting ore into ingots and barding at local community gather points to sell are profitable choices by many. More advice on this can be found in the "Guides" section of the forum.
